How to Do Surface Preparation for Adhesive Bonding
Surface preparation is essential to ensure the success of adhesive bonding. It involves optimizing the surface of the substrate for a stronger bond with the adhesive. There are three primary aspects to surface preparation: removing contaminants, roughening the surface, and modifying the chemical composition.
Rotor Manufacturing Process for Electric Motors
The rotor transfers power from the batteries to the wheels of an electric vehicle. Manufacturing rotors with the latest technologies improves the motor’s efficiency in many ways.
Fiber Laser Welding: Advantages, Systems and Applications
Fiber laser welding is a welding process that uses a laser beam as the heat source. As non-contact tools, fiber lasers are low maintenance and offer fast welding speeds. The laser beam is highly precise and has a low heat input, which minimizes damage to the material
Epoxy Laser Cleaning Application for Electric Motors
To ensure that e-motors preserve their efficiency over time, manufacturers protect conductive parts from contaminants with epoxy coating. Laser cleaning can be used to remove epoxy before laser welding and to remove contaminants before applying epoxy, ensuring a clean surface in both cases
How Laser Weld Monitoring Systems Work
Laser welding needs to be controlled to detect bad welds and ensure quality. Ensuring good weld quality is getting more challenging, as laser welding is increasingly used for micro welding applications that demand more precision, like battery tab welding in the automotive industry.
Electric Motor Manufacturing - 7 Ways the Industry is Changing
We often think of the electrification of the industry as a movement away from fossil fuels to reduce global emissions. But there are other, less obvious implications that are affecting electric motor manufacturers and consumers.
Laserax Moves European Operations to New Location in Germany
Canadian company Laserax solidifies its presence in the European automotive industry by moving its German office from Bremen to Bad Krozingen.
What is a Hairpin Motor - Benefits & Assembly Process
The advantages brought by hairpin motors are making electric vehicles more competitive not only with previous generations of EVs, but also with combustion engines. They are more efficient, have a higher power density and thermal performance, and are simpler to manufacture.
Laser Spot Welding & Laser Seam Welding in 2024
Laser spot welding is a welding process that uses the power of a laser beam to join two metal surfaces at a single spot. Laser seam welding is when surfaces are welded over a long, continuous surface.
