Multi Axis Laser Welding & Nonlinear Laser Welding
Laser Hardening
Tailored blanks can have a simple geometry with linear welds or complex shape with non-linear welds. This type of tailored blank is used industrially for automotive body parts such as rails, floor and their cross members, body side and inners, A, B and C pillars, rear and front wheel house fender inner, dash panels, closures, etc.
Patchwork Blanks
Patchwork blanks are spot welded or remote laser welded blanks that overlap, suitable for components requiring local reinforcement. They increase locally the stiffness performance, fatigue life behavior, and resistance to maximum loads for shock towers, rails, dash panels, and B-pillars.
Hybrid Blanks
Hybrid blanks are a combination of laser welded and patchwork blanks by remote welding. Both operations are performed during the same welding step. The hybrid blanks can then be used in standard stamping operations seamlessly.
