Laser machines for automotive and vehicle technology.

Serial production – especially in the field of electric mobility – is using increasingly lighter materials such as micro-alloyed steels or press-hardened steel (PHS steel) to reduce the weight of vehicles. At the same time, however, these increasingly harder metals are pushing the previously used technology of scribing or needle embossing to its limits.
In addition, many automotive manufacturers require more and more flexibility in their production lines in order to quickly respond to market and consumer needs. Thus, in the future, often not a single model series will be manufactured on a production line. With VIN Marker laser engraving, you ensure a deep, legible and permanent engraving of the VIN number and insurance number, while remaining flexible in the use of your production line.

Products such as tires, rims, exhaust pipes, steering columns , catalytic converters or brakes must also be marked with DOT, ET, PIN numbers, data matrix codes (2D-DMC), certification marks (E, ECE, EC,...) and similar, depending on the make. The materials used for these items range from rubber to various metals and plastics to ceramics and composites, which have different structures and surfaces.

Trotec laser systems can process all these materials directly. Of course, our lasers offer automation-friendly interfaces for connecting external data from external systems. This is how laser marking enables you to achieve completely flexible and therefore efficient and user-friendly operation in your production.

In interior design, laser technology offers unbeatable advantages for mechanical processing: for example, it is not necessary to fix materials such as textiles in place, clean cuts without rework, very high repetition accuracy and much more. Spacer fabrics are cut without crushing, glass fiber and heat protection textiles are cut or cut edges are automatically welded in synthetic materials. The most diverse cutting patterns, millings or perforations are child's play for the Trotec laser cutters. This makes it possible to use them for numerous product areas, from upholstery to airbags or seat belts.

But surface structures, e.g. for the dashboard, steering wheel, interior trim, day & night design, switches and more, can also be engraved on different materials. In addition to the purely functional areas of application, laser technology also offers the advantage of individual enhancement (according to customer requirements) through personalization.

When it comes to vehicle tuning, the customization of cars, trucks, motorcycles and the like is the top priority. Laser technology is ideal for producing or processing the “products” for visual tuning, such as in the areas of bodywork, interiors and car wrapping (films), because it is precisely here that great importance is attached to customization / personalization. The custom bike sector probably accounts for the largest share of this customization. Trotec lasers also score highly in this scene with their flexibility, reliability and speed, as well as their user-friendly operation. The many . The custom bike sector probably accounts for the largest share of this customization.

Trotec lasers also score points in this scene with their flexibility, reliability and speed, as well as their user-friendly operation. The many options available in the Speedy series allow you to put together a machine that meets your personal requirements.
