Mobile Laser Cladding
Our mobile cladding system can be deployed to the location where the component is installed or in operation, eliminating the need for disassembly, transportation, and reassembly.
Benefits Include ->
Time Savings
Our system dramatically reduces downtime, leading to significant operational savings in industries where every hour of downtime is costly.
Transporting large or critical components to a specialized shop requires extensive logistics and planning which can lead to delays.
Our mobile cladding system eliminates these issues by performing repairs directly on-site, ensuring immediate service and avoiding potential bottlenecks.
Cost Savings
Our mobile cladding system reduces transportation costs, especially for large, heavy, or delicate components in remote or hard-to-reach areas. Companies save on transportation and handling costs.
Transporting a component to a shop typically requires extra labor for disassembly, loading, unloading, and reassembly.
Our mobile cladding system reduces the amount of manual labor required, as repairs are done in situ with minimal setup.
In industries where machinery downtime results in lost production, the ability to repair equipment without removing it from service for extended periods can mean significant savings.
Enhanced Safety
Transporting and handling large components poses risks to workers, especially during loading, unloading, and disassembly.
By bringing the mobile cladding system to the workpiece, we eliminate much of this physical handling, reducing the chances of accidents.
Automated Repair
In partnership with NRC, CCWJ, LIMBDA we have developed process and algorithms to increase the delivery and reduce the cost of parts that come in for repair. The process steps consist of scanning the candidate component, using custom algorithms to determine where and how much material is needed, planning the robot path, and adding the material with the laser.
Robotics
One of our laser cladding cells was designed to reduce the level of human interaction needed for higher-volume parts, flipping the traditional setup on its head. While most laser cladding systems use a robot to bring the laser processing head to a part placed in a rotary chuck or positioner, our approach fixes the laser cladding head in place and uses the robot to bring parts to the processing head. This configuration minimizes operator involvement, increases processing speed, and enhances reliability - ultimately reducing costs for our customers.
