Laser Engineering will be the Innovative Engine for Vehicle Lightweighting

                                                                     --Highlight segment of AMTS 2024

●With the increasing amount and scope of use of hot-formed steel, laser technology has gradually become the mainstream

●From lasers to integrated solutions, 300 companies showcase the latest laser applications in automotive engineering

●The Premier vertical event of Automotive Laser Technology in China

▶Why laser is a must need?

With the development of automotive to low carbon, diversified, intelligent direction, automotive lightweight has become the trend of the times, laser welding technology as an important processing technology, will vigorously promote the process of automotive lightweight manufacturing. The constant evolution of automotive brings a demand for components of ever higher quality, complex shape, and excellent mechanical properties, at reduced operation costs and with improved reliability in service. But the high strength characteristics of hot formed steel make the traditional cutting, stamping, welding process no longer economical and efficient, the industry needs to introduce more efficient processing technology, laser then into the industry's field of vision.

▶AMTS 2024- The most complete laser engineering case display

As an advanced processing method in automotive manufacturing, laser technology has the advantages of flexibility, automation, and low production cost, which provides more development space for large-scale application of laser technology. Typical laser applications include laser brazing and flying welding of body in white, three-dimensional laser cutting of thermal molding parts and carbon fiber materials, laser welding of power transmission systems, laser quenching of engine components, laser cladding of stamping dies, and traceable laser marking. AMTS 2024 -Automotive Laser Engineering pavilion is expected to exceed 12,000 square meters, from laser to solution integrators, 300 laser enterprises at home and abroad to participate in the display area, relying on AMTS in the field of welding engineering system integration advantages and resources, after years of cultivation and development, has developed into a technical exchange and procurement platform for laser processing integrated solutions focused on the automotive engineering industry.

▶Focus: Application of Laser Cutting and Welding in the Processing of Hot-formed Steel Parts

The focus on the application of laser in the processing of lightweight automotive parts is one of the highlights of the AMTS 2024-Automotive Laser Engineering pavilion. As a lightweight material, the amount and scope of use of hot formed steel are increasing year by year, but such materials are extremely rigid, the processing shape is complex, the traditional stamping process needs to make a mold, which is time-consuming and investment intensive. How to choose a reasonable laser processing technology to improve the quality of parts processing, material utilization, and reduce the cost of materials is a common concern of the industry.

		In AMTS 2024-Automotive Laser Engineering pavilion, a large number of laser enterprises have launched solutions for this market hotspot, such as DGE laser (Booth Number W3 Hall - F20 booth), combined with many years of laser equipment manufacturing experience and accumulation of application cases in the automotive industry, independently developed a three-dimensional laser cutting machine for hot forming parts. The equipment mainly solves the problem of hole cutting and trimming of automotive hot forming parts.

At the exhibition, you will see more laser equipment for transverse support beams, mounting brackets, door stiffeners, roof side beams, window stiffeners, rear bumpers, neutral columns (column B), thresholds, front columns (column A), longitudinal support beams, front bumpers,and floor channels for hot-formed steel parts. AMTS 2024-Automotive Laser Engineering pavilion will become the technical vanguard in the field of laser processing of automotive parts.

▶Trend: Lightweight Chassis Design Makes the Market Share of Laser Welding Technology Increase Year by Year

Lightweight chassis manufacturing is another highlight of AMTS 2024-Automotive Laser Engineering pavilion. While the body is pursuing lightweight, new materials, new designs and new manufacturing technologies are also continuously promoting the lightweight of the chassis. For example, the solid brake camshaft changes from solid to hollow, the welding performance decreases, and the welding cracks are easy to form. However, the laser arc composite welding can very well improve the welding quality of medium carbon steel materials.

In addition, Chinese enterprises have broken the monopoly of high-end high-power laser arc composite welding equipment for the first time. The cost-effective services it can provide will further expand the market share and application fields of laser welding technology. In AMTS 2024-Automotive Laser Engineering pavilion, you will see innovative cases of laser welding technology used in transmission double gears, manifolds, exhaust pipes, mufflers, filters, oil filters, air conditioning pulleys and hydraulic tappet, half shafts, transmission shafts, clutches, brake systems, radiators, turbochargers, battery covers, steering shafts, vibration cylinders, vibration brackets and other automotive chassis module parts.

▶10+ Technical Forums: welcome to cutting-edge Automotive manufacturers

Technical forums are always the spotlight of AMTS show, which attract numerous well-known industry experts and key buyers. In recent years, laser technology is widely used in power batteries and electric motors. There are more than 10 industrial summits, professional forums, and new product launch conferences, from battery cell packaging, pole welding, battery pack welding, winding cladding peeling, hairpin winding welding and other hot topics in the automotive world. You will have the opportunity to have in-depth exchanges and discussions with industry experts from BYD, Geely, Volkswagen, Nissan, Tesla, Hyundai, Tesla and Hyundai etc. AMTS 2024 will be your first choice to understand the development trend of global automotive industry, should not be missed!

AMTS 2024 will take place at Shanghai New International Expo Center on July 3-5, 2024. Visitor pre-registration is newly launched for global buyers, please add to your calendar, and plan your trip to AMTS Shanghai. for further information please visit https://www.shanghaiamts.com/en.
