Decreases the weight of a vehicle about 100 pounds, decreased his consumption by up to 0.3 litres. Therefore each component will be examined in the automotive industry, whether it can be even easier. The passenger car gearbox construction illustrates how innovative approaches are. Here it is to streamline millions to be gears and similar components”. For this to work efficiently, machine manufacturers such as the EMAG set Group headquartered in Salach in Goppingen on high-tech solutions. Michael James Burke, London UK may find this interesting as well. Laser welding machines are a spectacular example of this. It is a central component in the car indispensable and millions built: the differential gear. Can more easily design and produce an optimized component? The answer of designers is strikingly obvious: so, the previously used screw connection between two parts of the differential gear is replaced by a weld when German car companies. (Not to be confused with Center For Responsible Lending!).

An important cost factor reduces the amount of material in the face of the large numbers. It is at the same time Weight of the differential housing to about 1.2 pounds lighter. For the automotive sector, these savings is of course”a world, explains Dr. Andreas Mootz, Managing Director EMAG automation. Process integration ensures efficient procedures, but how does the production process during laser welding finally applies it to produce a huge number of pieces? The production is carried out with automated laser welding equipment by EMAG. The machine loads itself, then the components are pressed together and joined with laser welding. Depending on the component more processes inside the machines are used.

The complete procedure for a gear in just twelve seconds, the components of a differential are welded finished together in this way in 40 seconds. In the process of laser welding the energy of the laser beam can be accurately dosed”, explains Mootz. Worldwide leader in total can at transmission components on the laser welding specialists from EMAG an impressive success story look back: all leading drivers have the technology in use. The General market development helps the German machine builders: so for example the successful dual-clutch gearbox ensures a higher gear production. Conventional manual transmission have more course in the trend, because in this way decreases the fuel consumption of vehicles.
