Lasers for production of electric vehicles

Laser technology is an ideal production method – in the manufacture of powerful fast-loading batteries for electric motors as well as in the production of other electric-motor components.

Efficient battery production

Laser technology for e-mobility

Battery housings as well as cell connectors are welded with the laser. Contact-free operation means that the material is not subjected to mechanical stress. Heat input is minimal and local, guaranteeing distortion-free seams. TRUMPF lasers create high-quality weld seams and work with extreme precision. This enables ever smaller and more powerful cells to be successfully integrated into one battery block. Efficient fabrication on laser machines with high productivity and low part costs enable high-volume production at highly favourable prices.

In the electric motor sector, the laser is used for cutting stator laminations. Fililgree contours can be cut very quickly, warp-free and with high repeatability – decisive factors in welding of stator laminations.

Potential for future applications

The examples shown are only a few of the possible laser technology applications for the production of electric vehicles. As electro-mobility grows more widespread, additional new fields will open up.


TRUMPF offers an extensive range of lasers and laser systems for economically efficient solutions : from solid-state lasers and CO2 lasers to marking lasers.

The product range also includes 2D laser machines such as those used for cutting thin sheet metal, like aluminum and copper, as well as laser systems for 3D processing.
