The automobile manufacturing industry has gathered a large amount of high-tech. Now considering the performance and appearance requirements of the car, it is also economical and practical. Faced with a huge market and rapidly changing demand, the speed of car upgrades is also increasing. Traditional machining and cutting methods have low efficiency and poor accuracy, which do not meet the requirements of refined and low-cost automotive manufacturing.

1. The practical application of laser cutting technology in the automotive industry.

The emergence and popularization of laser technology has brought a new experience to the automotive manufacturing industry. Laser cutting technology can be used for all parts of a car that need to be cut, such as the body, door frame, trunk, top cover, etc. Laser cutting technology can be used not only for external exposed areas, but also for interior, such as airbags and car interiors.

1.1 Car airbags.

Taking airbag as an example, it is an important device for car safety protection. It works together with seat belts to provide effective collision protection for passengers. In car accidents, airbags can reduce head injuries by 25% and facial injuries by about 80%. Laser cutting can efficiently and accurately cut safety airbags, ensuring seamless connection of safety airbags and maximizing product quality, allowing car owners to use them with confidence.

1.2 Automotive Interior

This laser cutting machine can flexibly process various automotive interior products, and can flexibly and quickly stretch and cut according to the internal dimensions of different vehicle models, doubling the product processing efficiency.

1.3 Power batteries for new energy vehicles.

The key technologies for the application and development of laser cutting in the new energy vehicle industry are the safety, cost, and energy storage capacity of power batteries. However, the manufacturing process of power batteries is complex and has extremely high safety requirements, resulting in higher requirements for laser cutting and welding processes.

1.3 Advantages of laser cutting power batteries.

Before the emergence of laser technology, traditional machinery was widely used in the power battery industry for cutting and processing. However, during the use of cutting machines, wear, dust, and burrs fell off, causing danger such as overheating, short circuit, and explosion of the battery. Traditional cutting technology has problems such as fast mold loss, long switching time, poor flexibility, and low production efficiency. The innovation of laser processing technology plays a prominent role in the production of power batteries. Compared to traditional mechanical cutting, it has advantages such as no tool wear, flexible cutting shape, controllable edge quality, high accuracy, and low operating cost. It is beneficial for reducing manufacturing costs, improving production efficiency, and shortening the die-cutting cycle of new products.

2. Laser cutting process.

In the traditional trial production stage, the trimming and hole cutting of stamped parts can only be completed manually. Generally, at least two to three processes are required, and the processing time is relatively long. Moreover, manual processing cannot guarantee the repeatability of cutting parts and is difficult to match with the entire vehicle model. The objective requirement of shorter and shorter development cycles. The application of 3D laser cutting machines enables the machine to automatically "adapt" to errors caused by elastic deformation of stamping parts. The laser cutting process uses a laser beam instead of traditional mechanical knives, non-contact precision cutting, fast cutting speed, high precision, smooth material cutting, flattening, intelligent layout, material saving, and reducing processing costs, making 3D laser cutting technology truly a new precision flexible processing method for automobile body processing.

3. Advantages of 3D laser processing.

One of the outstanding advantages of 3D laser processing is that it greatly reduces the production cost of the product. Assuming a car requires 10 body panels, if traditional stamping molds are used for production, the cost of the required molds will be very high, and the manual workload of all mold preparation, design, and debugging will take a long time. But if three-dimensional laser cutting equipment is used, the total cost will be greatly reduced, and the product development cycle time will also be shortened. The 3D laser cutting machine can complete tasks that can only be completed through multiple processes such as traditional plasma manual cutting, trimming molds, punching molds, six axis robot 3D cutting machines, and wire cutting, truly achieving intelligence, multifunctional, high efficiency, and low energy consumption. Flexible handling. The innovation of tools has brought about improvements in production efficiency and product quality. The 3D laser cutting machine can not only drive the development of the automotive industry, but its emergence can also bring good news to the cutting industry of irregular materials.

The car is a very precise assembly. For the safety of the car owner, all the parts have extremely high precision and fit perfectly in the corresponding positions of the car body. In the production and maintenance of the car, many metal structural parts have very complex shapes. In addition, for the sake of lightweight and safety of the car, Thermoforming high-strength steel is also widely used in the car, which makes cutting more difficult. Traditional methods cannot deal with this problem, In order to better complete this process, the emergence and application of laser cutting are particularly important.

Laser processing is currently a very advanced manufacturing method. In industrialized countries such as Europe and America, 50% to 70% of automotive components are processed by laser. With the development of industry and technological progress in China, there are also laser cutting equipment independently developed and produced, which can be used in the field of automotive component manufacturing.

In the field of laser cutting applications in the automotive industry, laser cutting machines can flexibly and quickly cut according to drawings, thereby doubling the efficiency of product processing. In the automotive processing industry, such as body design and manufacturing, new vehicle development, online cutting, and deformation vehicle production, such as cutting samples, laser technology is undoubtedly the best choice at present.
