ABSTRACT:
An improved method for manufacturing a camshaft. A robot positions a drive gear on a shaft and the gear is laser welded to the shaft. The cam lobes are axially and rotatively positioned on the shaft utilizing a robot and are laser welded to the shaft. Bearing journal sleeves also may be axially positioned on the shaft by a robot and may be laser welded to the shaft. Preferably, the gear, the cam lobes and any bearing journal sleeves are welded utilizing a robot mounted laser welder to achieve fully automated production.
