Abstract

For today’s high volume production in the automotive industry, resistance spot welding and laser remote welding, while well established, present pro’s and con’s. For laser remote welding the main advantage is the significant cycle time reduction due to almost complete elimination of idle times and the advantages of laser welded seams. For resistance spot welding an advantage is the integrated clamping technology, which comes nearly for free. IPG Laser GmbH has combined these advantages in a new technology, offering the resistance spot welding process, featuring the simplicity of clamping tools and production facilities, used in combination with the advantages of laser welding.For today’s high volume production in the automotive industry, resistance spot welding and laser remote welding, while well established, present pro’s and con’s.
