Laser beam measurement in automotive industry
Ensure reliable laser performance in automotive production
Lasers play a critical role in automotive manufacturing, but their performance can vary over time, impacting production quality.
Laser output can drift, and optical parameters at the working plane are influenced by system components, integration setup, and harsh industrial environments such as heat, vibrations, and contaminants.
Our guide shows how to measure and validate laser parameters to ensure stable processes, consistent weld quality, and reliable, repeatable production results.
What’s Inside the Guide:
- Ensure consistent weld quality and process stability by continuously monitoring laser output at the point of application
- Detect power drift early and identify root causes in the optical path before defects impact production
- Reduce scrap, downtime, and production costs by preventing faulty parts and minimizing unplanned interruptions
- Improve productivity and throughput with reliable, repeatable laser performance across production lines
- Enable real-time monitoring and fast decision-making in automated manufacturing environments
- Strengthen quality control with both in-process and post-process laser power verification
- Support compliance with strict automotive standards and reduce the risk of costly recalls
- Increase confidence in production output by ensuring every part meets required specifications
Success story
THIERRY TUAL, Laser specialist
'' The idea is to control laser power after the delivery head by firing a long pulse that is comparable in length to the welding time during production. Thanks to this laser power monitoring process, we can quickly diagnose a root cause in the optical path following a potential drift of the welding process. It is important to stop the line before defective parts are produced.
The HP detectors are a plus to existing in-process and post-process quality monitoring systems. With them, our process is robust, and quality is guaranteed during production with the automatic monitoring of laser power.''
