The rapid development of laser Welding Electrode and technology opened a new chapter in laser applications: transmission in the car and car frame, the laser technology with the new "useless."

The mid-90s in the 20th century, BMW company uses laser welding robot to complete a BMW 5 series cars first weld, weld total length of 12m. To July 2003, the total length of the laser welding seam total of 150 meters.

Laser technology the result of competition is to strengthen its presence in the automobile manufacturing industry applications. Daimler Chrysler Corporation Welding (equipment and spare parts) person in charge of technology research group, says Mr Christian Elsner: the most important applications of laser welding in the automotive powertrain and vehicle chassis welding manufacturing. Laser welding has long not been fully utilized, new laser welding power and higher power makes laser welding has long been squeezed into occupied by traditional welding techniques, "territory."

The reason why laser technology in the automotive industry has been very widely used, with the Institute's scientists and their work are inseparable. Daimler Chrysler technology and materials technology company in the future, the Institute intends to further strengthen the close cooperation with the Institute of Physics, so that the welding sensor technology in the production process can have better results. Manufacturer of industrial control systems, industrial control system applications business and cooperation between scientific research institutions more closely the results of co-operation more effective.
