Use one configured cell for repair and localized hardening

Two processes in one configured cell

The equipment package supports laser cladding for additive repair and laser hardening for localized surface strengthening, with the process selected by treatment zone.

Additive cladding repair

Laser cladding deposits the selected material onto worn, corroded or undersized regions and creates a metallurgical bond with the base material.

Localized laser hardening

The laser rapidly heats the selected surface above its phase-transition point, followed by self-cooling through heat conduction in the component without a separate quenching medium.

Six-axis path access

Robot motion supports programmed treatment around accessible faces, edges and curved regions while maintaining the required head orientation.

Process head and workholding selection

The process head, robot reach, fixture, worktable or positioner are defined against the part geometry and the cladding and hardening areas.

Sample-based project review

Part drawings, material, current condition and target result are reviewed before trials establish the final process window and acceptance criteria.

From process split to sample acceptance

Each surface region is assigned to cladding or hardening before the laser package, robot access, workholding and acceptance plan are fixed.

Parts that need both restoration and surface strengthening

Feasibility depends on material, current condition, treatment-zone access, heat input, robot motion and workholding. The part name alone is not enough.

Moulds and toolingRepair of worn regions combined with localized strengthening on accessible faces, edges or working surfaces
Gears, shafts and rotating partsSelected journals, teeth, bearing areas or wear zones reviewed against access and distortion constraints
Rollers and heavy componentsLarge rings, rollers, conveyor parts and shafts requiring restoration or surface treatment

Separate material restoration from surface hardening

Mark the objective for each treatment zone

Cladding adds material to a selected repair region; laser hardening treats the existing surface. Label the areas needing dimensional restoration separately from those with a hardening requirement so the project does not substitute one result for the other.

Review the material and process changeover

Supply the base material and current condition for each region. The process heads, motion paths and any changeover work need to be defined in the proposal; a dual-process configuration does not establish simultaneous processing or automatic head exchange.

Agree separate acceptance criteria

For cladding, specify the target layer and final repair dimensions. For hardening, state the required hardness and treatment depth for review. The listed cladding thickness is not a hardening-depth specification, and no universal hardness result follows from the selected laser power.

Machine selection questions

What is the difference between cladding and hardening?

Cladding deposits material for restoration or surface strengthening. Laser hardening treats the existing surface without adding a repair layer. The base material and intended result determine which process is appropriate for each zone.

Can hardening restore a worn dimension?

Hardening does not add the missing repair material. If dimensional restoration is required, define the cladding scope and any finishing requirements separately from the hardening objective.

Does one cell perform both processes at the same time?

The configuration supports two process types, but their sequence and any head changes must be agreed for the project. Simultaneous processing and automatic changeover are not specified here.

Is the listed 0.5–2 mm range a hardening depth?

No. That is the listed cladding-layer range. Hardening depth and hardness require a separate material and sample review against the requested acceptance criteria.

What should a dual-process quotation brief include?

Provide the part drawing, base material, current condition and clearly marked cladding and hardening zones. State the target layer, final dimensions, hardness or depth requirements and expected output for review.
