Flexible Laserprozess- und -systemtechnik für die montagegenaue Fertigung im modularen Schienenfahrzeugbau

This contribution is another article in the context of a series published in this magazine, in which objectives and contents of the joint project eSIE.CAR are presented. In this project innovative manufacturing techniques and designs of structures for future regional train generations are developed. The project part of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technnolgy in Aachen is dealing with the qualification of a flexible laser process and laser system technology for the accurate manufacturing of large light-weight constructions being easy to assemble. Therefore, appropriate laser cutting and welding processes are selected, optimised and qualified as well as practically tested by the manufacturing of a Mock-Up with modern laser systems.
