Abstract: An assembly and method of forming the assembly are disclosed. The assembly may include first and second components, the first component including a non-mating region and a mating region. The mating region may have an offset in a direction towards the second component and have a welding surface contacting the second component. A weld located within the welding surface may join the first and second components. The weld may be a laser weld. The method may include positioning a first component including a welding pad offset from a surrounding region of the first component such that the welding pad is in contact with a second component to form a gap between the surrounding region of the first component and the second component. The first component may then be welded to the second component in an area within the welding pad.

Abstract: A pulley assembly having a body, a shaft mount and a plurality of bolts is disclosed. The body is aligned to the shaft mount by providing a tight tolerance between a shoulder portion of the bolt and a neck portion of a counter sunk hole formed in the body. Additionally, an outer surface of the body may have a pattern of friction lines or patches formed by fusing particulate matter to the outer surface with heat generated by a laser beam.

Abstract: A laser machining device includes a reflective plate disposed perpendicular to the optical axis of emitting light and having a constant reflectance to the emitting light; a return light measurement unit which measures intensity distribution of return light reflected off the reflective plate and returning to the external optical system via a beam splitter; a storage unit which stores the return light intensity distribution in a normal state as reference data; a preprocessing unit which performs processing of identifying at least one of an optical axis shift, a beam diameter anomaly, a mode anomaly, a ghost, contamination of a protective window, and a focus shift due to thermal lens effect on the basis of comparison between measurement data of the return light intensity distribution and the reference data, before laser machining; and a warning unit which warns of an anomaly in the external optical system in accordance with the preprocessing unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an axle housing of a vehicle axle, by means of integrally connecting an axle tube (1) to an axle shaft (2) which is positioned on the longitudinal axis (L) of the axle tube, is equipped with bearing surfaces (3) for mounting a vehicle wheel, and has a tube cross-section facing said axle tube (1) which is substantially the same as the tube cross-section of the axle tube. In order to develop a welding method for the production of an axle housing that consists of an axle tube and an axle shaft secured thereto, which method is optimised in terms of the dynamic loads to which the axle housing is typically subjected in a driving operation, the method comprises the following steps: •—arranging the axle tube (1) and the axle shaft (2), with the abutting surfaces of their tube cross-sections positioned coaxially to one another, in a workpiece receiving portion of a welding installation (10), said welding installation additionally comprising an arc welding device (11) and a laser welding device (12) which is operated in parallel, •—continuously miming a weld seam (20) in the peripheral direction of the tube cross-sections, both welding devices (11, 12) being directed, actively and from the outside, onto substantially the same peripheral section of the abutting surfaces, wherein the laser beam (S) meets the outside (14) of the tube at right angles, and intersects the longitudinal axis (L) of the axle tube (1), and •—stopping running the weld seam (20) once this has passed over a peripheral angle of at least 360°. A corresponding axle housing is also disclosed.

Abstract: A laser welding method includes preliminarily heating an entire welding path by irradiating the entire welding path with a heating laser beam for a first predetermined time, the welding path being closed loop-shaped and formed at a boundary between two workpieces as welding objects, and performing scanning with a welding laser beam along the welding path while continuously performing the irradiation with the heating laser beam after the preliminary heating and terminating the irradiation with the welding laser beam after the welding laser beam goes around the welding path.
