Enhancing Precision in Automotive Welding With nexAir

Welding professionals have always been an integral part of the automotive industry. Aside from ensuring passenger safety through vehicles’ structural integrity, they are expected to carry out their responsibilities with high efficiency and precision.

In recent years, the steady demand for vehicles, including electric vehicles (EVs), has led to additional challenges. nexAir is committed to helping companies solve them. Let’s look at three ways in which our KnowHow enables automotive welders to Forge Forward.

nexAir’s Automotive Industrial Gases

Several industries benefit from our steady stream of high-quality gases. Here are some examples of nexAir gases that are crucial to the automotive sector along with their respective applications. 

• Acetylene: Used as a carbon source for low-pressure carburizing
• Argon: Used to manufacture parts like exhaust systems, axels, and suspensions
• Helium: Acts as a shielding gas for laser welding processes, as well as to test for leaks in radiators and torque converters
• Hydrogen: Helps give steel parts a bright finish, it’s widely considered the most promising alternative fuel source of the future
• Oxygen: Acts as a shielding gas for various welding processes 
• Nitrogen: Used to manufacture various electrical components

Our quality industrial gases and innovative delivery mechanisms allow automotive manufacturers to streamline production, create more precise welds, and reduce downtime. In an industry that’s evolving by the day, nexAir is the name you can rely on. 

nexAir’s Laser Welding Tools

Laser welding has become a crucial process in automotive manufacturing because of the precision and flexibility it offers. 

Laser welding technology allows experts to fuse a wide range of materials, including steel and aluminum, which make cars durable and lightweight. At the same time, it has a lower environmental impact and a big role to play in the components of electric and hybrid vehicles.  

With nexAir’s cutting-edge laser welding tools, manufacturers can benefit from enhanced speed, productivity, and new levels of safety and performance.

Our laser welding technology also allows welders to experiment with custom designs, leading to more fuel-efficient and safe vehicles.  Furthermore, our KnowHow helps ensure that employees and automotive welders know exactly how to use the equipment and materials optimally while reducing waste and enhancing precision. 

nexAir’s Automated Automotive Systems

More than ever, industries and organizations are embracing automated systems—and for good reason. Robotic processes help reduce labor costs, improve productivity, enhance worker safety, and reduce downtime. 

In the automotive sector, where almost every component is expected to meet strict quality and safety standards, automation can do away with human error altogether. This, in turn, makes cars safer.

Automated welding can also tackle repetitive tasks, allowing employees to take up more creative and challenging problems. This benefit can partially address the shortage of skilled welders.

nexAir offers a wide range of automated welding equipment—including plasma cutters, positioners, handheld laser welding systems, and more—to help unlock higher levels of efficiency, quality, and precision.
