LASER IN THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY

Lasers have become an indispensable part of the automotive industry. Increasing environmental awareness, rising disposal costs, the need to reduce manufacturing costs and, above all, the rapid changes this industry is experiencing are the driving factors to replace existing processes (chemical, thermal or mechanical).

For more than two decades, the SLCR laser process has opened up new possibilities for automated or manual surface processing of all types of materials. For tasks such as activation, paint stripping, cleaning, structuring, marking, etc., laser technology can already be found in many areas of the classic automotive industry, as well as in several areas of electromobility.
