In December 2020, Coherent Inc. and II-VI Incorporated, both based in the United States, announced a business partnership to strengthen process development and equipment proposals for various welding applications in the automotive manufacturing sector. They will propose advanced laser processing solutions for difficult-to-weld materials such as high-strength steel (high-tensile materials) used in automotive bodies and copper materials commonly used in electric vehicle components. In line with this partnership, Coherent has begun proposing a subsystem that combines ARM fiber lasers with II-VI's RLSK and HIGHmotion 2D processing heads, aiming to maximize productivity on customers' manufacturing lines with this Industry 4.0-compatible solution.
