IMA EV-TECH is pleased to take part as a plenary speaker at EALA 2026, Automotive Circle’s 27th European Automotive Laser Applications Conference, with a joint presentation developed together with Politecnico di Milano, Department of Mechanical Engineering.
The plenary presentation, titled “NIR/blue hybrid laser welding of Cu hairpins: system, process, and monitoring development”, presents the outcomes of a collaborative activity between academia and industry, combining scientific research with industrial system development.
The session focuses on hybrid NIR/blue laser welding for copper hairpins, addressing system architecture, process optimization and in-line monitoring solutions aimed at improving weld quality, process stability and production robustness in electric motor manufacturing.
Hairpin welding is a critical process in high-efficiency e-motor production and this contribution is designed to provide concrete technical insights.
Speakers:
- Ali Gökhan Demir, Associate Professor with the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Politecnico di Milano
- Giulio Borzoni, R&D Mechanical Engineer at IMA AUTOMATION
Join us at EALA 2026 in Bad Nauheim and attend the plenary presentation to explore advanced laser welding approaches for e-motor manufacturing.
