In EU project ALBATROSS, Fraunhofer IWS has developed battery housing for E-vehicles. Laser processes with dynamic beam shaping create stable joints even in challenging material combinations. Recent ...

An example of hybrid technology in its purest form has been developed and built by the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) for the DVS research project "KoaxHybrid". In Aachen, Germany, ...

As with traditional welding techniques, materials are melted in the weld zone, although laser-based techniques use quicker heating and cooling cycles (Figure 1). These rapid thermal cycles are a ...

Increased production from 10-30 parts to 45-60 parts per hour using dual-station collaborative welding setup with operator and robot. Eliminated warping issues and post-weld straightening requirements ...
