The China Automobile Parts Manufacturer Upgrade Production with Bodor Laser

The Challenges

Materials: Plate, Tube, Structural Steel

Business Requirements:

Change the traditional processing methods, promote industrial transformation and upgrade to better adapt to market demand.

Need:

1.Improve production efficiency
2.Maximize material usage
3.Minimize labor costs

Issue:

1.Slow and costly traditional processing method

2.Long production cycle time and low efficiency

3.Lack of precision required secondary processing.

Using traditional processing methods, Jilin Zhonglong Weiye faced significant obstacles in their production process. The cutting of high-strength steel was slow, requiring up to 10 days to finish crucial manufacturing tasks. The traditional techniques not only consumed a significant amount of time but also generated substantial material waste, leading to increased costs. Furthermore, the lack of precision in conventional cutting resulted in parts that often required secondary processing, further delaying production timelines. The overall inefficiency made it challenging for the company to meet the rising demand for automobile components while adhering to industry standards for quality and sustainability.

After an in-depth market investigation and comprehensive evaluation, this China Auto parts manufacturer chose Bodor Laser. Since 2019, it has successfully purchased 16 sets of Bodor laser-cutting machines. With the adoption of Bodor Laser equipment, Jilin Zhonglong Weiye experienced a remarkable transformation in their production processes. The C Series sheet laser cutting machine enabled them to cut 2.5mm high-strength steel with exceptional precision, resulting in smoother surfaces and eliminating the need for secondary treatment. This improvement directly contributed to faster production cycles and enhanced product quality, particularly for the side beams used in Faw Jiefang vehicles. The K Series tube laser cutting machine offered outstanding versatility, capable of cutting round tubes, rectangular tubes, angles, and channels, which were essential for producing the body beams of the Audi Q5. The ability to cut with a very short tail stock ensured optimal material usage and reduced waste. The A Series single-platform metal sheet laser cutting machine allowed for the efficient processing of steel plates up to 4mm, which is ideal for use in Faw Jiefang car components. This modular tabletop design provided flexibility and ensured slag-free cuts without the need for secondary processing, saving both time and resources.

By shifting from traditional methods to Bodor Laser technology, Jilin Zhonglong Weiye can now complete tasks in two days, which used to take 10 days to complete, significantly improving productivity. Reducing energy consumption and material waste lowered production costs and helped the company align with the automotive industry's push toward eco-friendly and sustainable manufacturing practices.
