Company News

For automobile manufacturers, stud jamming in body-in-white stud welding is an invisible killer of production efficiency. Each line shutdown lasts no less than 5 minutes, with a persistently high rework rate. It drags down production line tact, increases material and labor costs, and becomes a major obstacle to capacity improvement.

Taguan’s innovative anti-jamming solution — the combined feeder + fully automatic welding gun — delivers an efficient fix for this pain point. It enables non-stop continuous welding for body-in-white production and perfectly meets the demands of high-capacity production lines.


Aluminum Alloy Welding: Two Major Headaches Troubling Automakers

Compared with steel welding, aluminum alloy welding demands ultra-fine craftsmanship, where minor errors easily lead to quality defects:

Indestructible Oxide FilmAluminum quickly forms a natural oxide film in air with a melting point as high as 2050℃. Like a protective armor, it hinders metal fusion and easily causes defects such as slag inclusion and incomplete fusion.

Uncontrollable Thermal DeformationAluminum features a low melting point and thermal conductivity three times that of steel. Uneven heat distribution during welding leads to component deformation and directly undermines body dimensional accuracy. This is why many automakers have long been plagued by low welding yield and high rework costs in aluminum alloy applications.

Taguan Targets the Pain Points with Three Core Technologies

To tackle the difficulties of aluminum welding, Taguan deeply integrates self-developed power supply and servo control technologies with AI intelligent algorithms to build targeted application solutions:


1. Secondary Inverter Technology: Freely Switchable AC / DC Mode

Tailored to the unique properties of aluminum alloy, Taguan stud welding machines adopt innovative secondary inverter technology. High-frequency switching of current polarity generates the cathode cleaning effect, stripping away the oxide film precisely like a scalpel.

Meanwhile, it reduces heat input and lowers the risk of thermal deformation, ideal for welding battery pack brackets and lightweight body components.


2. 40μs Ultra-Fast Response: Superior Current Stability vs. Conventional Equipment

Subtle changes in line impedance and material consistency can easily affect current stability during welding.

Taguan’s welding machine achieves a current closed-loop adjustment cycle of only 40μs, making instant compensation once a current fluctuation exceeds 0.1%. Combined with a preset impedance variation model, its response speed is 60% faster than traditional equipment, ensuring accurate and controllable energy output at every weld spot.


3. Linear Motor Dual Closed-Loop Control: Welding Penetration Accuracy ±0.01mm

Penetration control in aluminum welding directly determines joint strength.

Taguan adopts displacement closed-loop + current closed-loop dual-control technology. The linear motor dynamically adjusts stud downforce in real time, and high-precision sensors deliver a penetration accuracy of ±0.01mm, ensuring every weld joint fits with perfect tightness.


From R&D to Production: Practical Verification of Lightweight Application at Leading Automakers

These technical advantages have been fully validated on the production lines of leading vehicle manufacturers such as Geely and BYD.

After adopting Taguan welding equipment, a new energy vehicle manufacturer maintained an aluminum component welding yield above 99.8%, with production line tact efficiency improved by 30%–50%, strongly supporting the mass production of its lightweight vehicle bodies.

The lightweight competition among new energy vehicles is essentially a contest of manufacturing technology.

With intelligent technology, Taguan breaks material application barriers, realizing seamless welding transition from steel to aluminum. Supported by full life-cycle services, it has become a reliable partner for automakers undergoing lightweight transformation.
