AutoWeld-BIW6000: Remote Laser Welding for Automotive Body-in-White

The AutoWeld-BIW6000 is a scanner-based remote laser welding system designed for high-throughput automotive body-in-white (BIW) assembly. Mounted on a 6-axis robot, the remote welding head covers a 600×600mm field of view without repositioning — delivering weld speeds up to 10m/min on galvanized steel and aluminum alloy panels.

Key Features

• 6000W disk/fiber laser — sustained power for continuous BIW production
• Remote scanner head: 600×600mm field, F-theta lens, 300mm focal length
• Robot-integrated: compatible with KUKA, FANUC, ABB, YASKAWA
• Weld types: lap weld, flange weld, stitch weld, seam weld
• Material compatibility: galvanized steel (0.6–2.5mm), aluminum alloy (1.0–3.0mm), AHSS/UHSS
• Inline process monitoring: photodiode-based weld quality feedback

Technical Specifications

Applications

Door inner panels, roof rails, A/B/C pillars, floor panels, trunk lids, and EV battery tray frames. Proven in Tier-1 automotive supplier lines producing 200,000+ vehicles/year.

Remote Welding vs. Conventional Welding

Conventional resistance spot welding requires physical contact and electrode changes every 3,000–5,000 welds. The BIW6000's non-contact remote laser process eliminates electrode wear, reduces fixture complexity, and cuts cycle time by up to 5× — enabling flexible mixed-model production lines.
