Combined laser optic, plasma gun, and milling spindle in a CNC milling center

Technological setup for induction assisted laser cladding

All surface and coating technologies have their specific advantages with respect to precision, productivity, ecology, or flexibility. Innovative technical combinations and hybrid techniques permit to combine selected advantages and offer completely new solutions for surface cladding and the generation of three-dimensional structures.

Laser / plasma (PTA) build-up welding combination

The sequential combination of laser and plasma (PTA) build up welding is a promising variant for the production of precision parts. Here, the laser beam generates the outer contours of filigree and complex shape, and the plasma gun fills efficiently the inner volume.

Induction Assisted Laser Cladding

The combination of laser cladding and simultaneous induction heating is a solution for the production of up to 65 HRC hard and crack-free metal coatings or composite claddings containing up to 75 % carbide particles. The welding speed reaches up to 10 m/min.

In all cases, the favorable characteristics of laser cladding as low substrate material fusing, metallurgical bonding between substrate and coating, as well as the high precision of the clad tracks remain completely preserved.
