Automotive Solutions
For many years, we have been an accepted partner of the automotive supplier industry.
Our customers in the automotive sector are national and international companies.
We offer them automated welding machines and robot solutions based on resistance welding technology.
Programmable NC-controlled multi-spot or projection welding machines are available to produce a wide range of joints.
Typical automotive applications for our resistance welding machines are:
-
Rims for motorcycles, cars and utility vehicles
-
Starter rings
-
Stabiliser bars
-
Nut and bolt welds
-
Reinforcement profiles on doors or chassis
-
Seat frames produced from sheet metal, tube or wire
-
Lumbar supports
-
Aluminium frames for sunroofs
Furthermore, we also design special solutions, such as a production line for particulate filters, for our automotive customers.
On all machine types, the compact and robust machine design with intuitive operator guidance is oriented towards industrial usage in production.
When designing the machines, the operator was the main focus. For this reason, particular emphasis was placed on easy and ergonomic operation.
Used around the world, IDEAL welding machines have been proving their quality and reliability on a day-to-day basis and have been doing so for decades.
01
Application Examples
A wide range of products in the automotive sector can be processed on the resistance welding machines.
02
Coil Joining Machine
IDEAL is a pioneer in the design and development of flash butt welding machines. Flash butt welding machines of type AS are used in the automotive sector in particular for the economical welding of rims, rings and starter rings.
They are characterised by high welding quality and strength, short welding times and high reproducibility of the welding parameters.
With the use of the most diverse, practically oriented options, the modular constructionof the machine enables the individual implementation of the customer and therefore product-specific requirements.
03
Dual Force Butt Welding
The equipment of the machines type DD0 can be supplemented with various annealing processes (according to the requirements of the material to be processed) and deburring devices as well as machines and devices for welding seam preparation and post-processing.
With the double pressure welding machine DD0 200 from IDEAL-Werk, the heat-affected material made of ferrous or non-ferrous metal is almost completely pressed out of the welding zone after the welding process. This improves the mechanical properties and the construction of the weld. With the DD0 type series, a high welding quality and enormous strength can be achieved. At the same time, the machine is characterized by high reproducibility of the welding parameters and low-spatter welding.
The IDEAL solution for your areas of application in the automotive industry.
04
Special Production Line
Working together with our customer’s product development department, we developed the production line for particulate filters as an individually tailored solution.
It was necessary to pay particular attention to the extremely high requirements for product quality, the reproducibility of the product characteristics and the detection of primary material and production defects.
We would be delighted to assist you with the production-oriented product development.
