Vehicle Manufacturing Assembly Challenges
Automotive manufacturers face relentless competition and constant demands for greater efficiency, safety, comfort, and reliability. Automotive assembly processes are constantly changing and now integrate a wide range of lightweight high-performance plastics, metals, compact sensors, sophisticated electronics and under-hood components than ever before, It’s an assembly challenge like no other. Emerson’s welding & assembly solutions help you meet each challenge, anywhere, anytime, worldwide.
Supporting electric vehicle production and component manufacturers
To manage electric & autonomous vehicle production, manufacturers need partners like Emerson that can develop and support market-leading assembly solutions. Our metal welding solutions help you bond energy-dense, fast-charging battery packs, as well as large charging cables and small power circuits, wiring harnesses, and data links. Meanwhile, plastic welds assemble interior components, instruments, lighting, controls, and sensors essential to safety, operation, and comfort.
Lighting for looks, comfort, & safety
Beyond safety, lighting plays a growing role in vehicle design, comfort, and performance. Lightweight plastic headlamps, tail lamps, and light bars house sensor-driven adaptive features in sleek, contoured shapes. Interior and ambient lights and controls integrate seamlessly into plastics, panels and displays. Bringing all of these components together are multiple Branson metal and plastic welding, staking, laser, and vibration joining solutions from Emerson.
Lightweight, stylish components for Automobile exteriors
Precision welds assemble lightweight, fuel-efficient auto and EV vehicle components for low-carbon vehicles. Branson automotive plastic welding bonds the crisp, flash-free contours of head lamp, tail lamp, and center-lamp assemblies. It joins, seals, and protects the lenses and sensors used in adaptive cruise controls, lighting, and cameras. Our metal welds bond critical power and data circuits for driver controls, instrument displays, and powertrain management.
Smarter design approaches to interior assembly
The experience of driving is more than motion – it is interaction with instruments and gauges, information and sound, feel and comfort. Branson automotive assembly technologies integrate parts – lenses, switches, touchscreens, electronics, wiring, sensors, and data/power connections – into controls, lighting, comfort, and information. From dashboard to console, our assembly and welding expertise helps you build a more exciting, engaging, and comfortable driving experience.
Under-hood automotive components manufacturing and assembly
Under-hood vehicle controls employ lightweight plastic and composite materials, engineered for high-temperature performance. Branson offers the broadest range of automotive plastic welding technology to bond them reliably: fast-cycling ultrasonics, particle-free laser technology; plus infrared, vibration, spin, hotplate, and more. These solutions join similar and dissimilar materials, in large and small sizes, with exceptional control and consistency.
Expanding EV Beyond Passenger and Light Vehicle
We hear every day about the automotive industry's migration to electric vehicles, but this is mainly focused on light vehicles. What does the rapid growth of medium and heavy truck, commercial fleets such as city buses, industrial machines and other vehicle types such as marine and recreational vehicles mean for the manufacturing industry?
