When the laser welding results are inconsistent, the measuring device can continuously measure and report the process conditions in the production process, so as to achieve rapid intervention and even automatic repair. The advantages of this method include increasing the output, reducing the dependence on the follow-up quality inspection (and the resulting cost and lag), and improving the confidence in the finished product.
Fiber laser has become the preferred tool for many advanced and industrial batch welding applications. It can serve many mature industries and adapt to the rapid growth of emerging markets. In the booming electric vehicle industry, the high-speed, accurate and consistent welding ability of fiber laser is the driving factor to improve the accessibility and overall performance of commercial electric vehicles. In other more mature industries, the advantages of using fiber laser are well known. Many advantages of modern industrial laser technology, such as increasing output, better design flexibility and ultra-high energy efficiency, are constantly promoting the development of this technology in metal joining process.
For the prospective manufacturers who have made full use of the advantages of laser welding, the next step is how to further improve the output and keep ahead in the competition. The optimization of intelligent manufacturing process requires high-quality online data collection. In order to realize the automation and decentralization of decision-making, as the "eyes and ears" of laser welding process, the demand of this technology is increasing.
Under the background of explosive growth of electric vehicle industry, this demand is particularly obvious. Traditional electric vehicle welding process involves a number of challenges: non-ferrous alloys, hybrid materials and strict mechanical and electrical performance requirements of each joint. In addition, since a large number of individual welds are required for each finished assembly, only a small margin of error is allowed. Strict welding requirements, as well as the huge cost and difficulty of dismantling electrical components during destructive testing, if the manufacturer can produce high-quality qualified products at the first attempt, it will have a significant advantage.
Intelligent manufacturing is different from the open-loop characteristics of the traditional development and deployment process, that is, by designing a reliable process and carefully controlling all the input parameters of the production line, to achieve the correct operating conditions as close as possible. Intelligent manufacturing relies on the technology of real-time collection and sharing information, which can continuously provide the status feedback of each subsystem, and ultimately improve the transmission efficiency.
