From dual-clutch transmissions to the classic differential, modern transmission technology is a pivotal research sector in the automotive industry where designers optimize the functionality of gearwheels with new materials and altered geometries. These gearwheels are also required in ever larger quantities as the number of speed-gears in many passenger cars continues to increase. Laser welding is one innovation promoting effective processes and EMAG capitalizes on their knowledge in the production of transmission components with ELC series of laser welding machines that offer integrated solutions for processes with high output rates.
