The automotive industry relies on IPG Photonics’ revolutionary fiber lasers as the ideal laser tool for common cutting, welding, marking, engraving and brazing processes, and as an enabling technology for value-added remote welding and seam welding and tube and profile welding processes. As new lightweight vehicle designs come to the forefront, fiber lasers are increasingly critical in today’s highly automated, flexible production lines. IPG fiber lasers are simple to integrate, flexible and easy to use and are highly reliable, while requiring next to no maintenance or consumable parts. Automakers enjoy shortened ROI due to the low operating costs of compact and highly efficient fiber lasers, which can even be shared over multiple process stations using IPG’s novel beam switch technology.

IPG’s laser-based solutions span the gamut of automotive manufacturing processes.

IPG's trifocal brazing laser was developed specifically for the automotive manufacturing industry to improve quality of brazed parts. The trifocal laser brazing replaces traditional brazing methods while increasing process speed, minimizing heat effects on the assembly and reducing dependence on manual part cleaning.
