- laser welding system
which is mainly used for the
- repair of raw castings and
- the correction of machining defects.
The procedure offers clear advantages compared with the conventional welding processes:
- low and exact heat input into the component so that the risk of a distortion of the component is reduced significantly;
- reduced need of rework thanks to a minimum material coating;
- no undercuts and coarse grain areas at the intersections and consequently a reduced risk of cracks;
- minimum influence on the surrounding surface coating;
- can be used also for areas which are difficult to access.
Operating principle
The point to be reworked of the workpiece as well as the welding wire to be fed in manually are heated to approx. 1,500 degrees and molten with the material. Due to the low material supply (the welding wire has a diameter of 0.2 to 0.8 mm), fine welding beads are generated which reduce the need of rework. The procedure is appropriate for all components manufactured with
- sand casting,
- chill casting,
- die casting or
- precision casting.
Here, all materials as
- aluminium
- magnesium
- steel
- iron
- stainless steel
- titanium
- nickel as well as
- copper-tin (bronze) and
- copper-tin (brass)
can be processed. The same applies for components which are
- milled from solid material or
- forged from solid material.
General information
Besides the use of the laser welding process for components we manufacture, we are able to offer this technology to you also as
- service provider for your parts.
As this system is mobile, it is also possible to
- weld your components on site.
