The components of the laser system are compactly stowed away for easy transportation.
Mobile and flexible
ALOflex
ALOflex
Mobile laser systems
The ALOflex is a flexible robot system for mobile laser hardening, laser cladding and CMT welding.
More flexibility with up to 10 kW laser power for laser hardening with zoom or scan optics, laser cladding with powder or wire for external & internal coating (powder) and CMT welding directly on the component at the customer’s site!
Highest flexibility – smallest dimensions
The ALOflex concept
With the ALOflex mobile laser system, we have deliberately decided to outsource sensitive units to the mobile media station. Dust-sensitive components such as the cooler, PC, laser and monitor are not exposed to direct laser operation and are therefore fully protected. The chassis with robot can be kept as light and compact, agile and flexible as no other mobile laser system.
The robot is connected to the media station via a 15 metre long, flexible energy chain and has a huge, mobile work area.
Another advantage of the ALOflex is that the robot can be detached from the crawler track and used directly on a component or on a linear unit as an ALOhybrid with the benefits of a stationary laser processing system.
ALOflex – simply flexible and mobile!
ALOflex mobile laser system
Compact and agile
The ALOflex is the most flexible laser processing system for laser hardening, laser cladding with powder and wire and CMT welding.
Fits on Euro pallets Ideal for confined areas
Use on component High occupational safety
Linear unit can be used 15 m long energy chain
Technology in mobile use
Wide range of applications
ALOhard and ALOhardzoom laser hardening, ALOpowder laser powder cladding and ALOarc CMT welding in mould and tool making and mechanical engineering
Specific hardening of metallic surfaces and repair or reconditioning of highly stressed component surfaces
Suitable for processing forming tools, machine parts, cutting tools or screw conveyors, bearing seats, rollers and much more
Laser hardening
with fixed and variable laser track widths
Arc welding
CMT welding with ALOarc
Cladding
with powder
Additional applications can be optionally employed: laser powder cladding with interior cladding optics* ALOpowderID, laser wire cladding* ALOwire, hardening with dynamic scanning optics* ALOhardscan, and a hybrid technology combining wire and powder cladding* ALOtwin.
*For these applications, modules of the mobile laser system need to be adjusted.

Mobile processing
-
Transporting the mobile laser system
-
Loading the mobile laser system
The components of the laser system are located in transport-optimized stations and are therefore quick to load and easy to transport.
-
Setting up the mobile laser system
The mobile laser system is positioned and set up on site on the component.
-
Teaching the mobile laser system
Simple creation of the welding paths on the component by teaching the mobile laser system.
-
Setting up the laser safety barriers
Setting up the certified laser safety barriers around the component with the mobile laser system.
-
Setting up process control
Setting up system monitoring and process control, laser power measurement and documentation of process parameters using OPC UA.
-
Fully set up mobile laser system
The system and the powder feeder are positioned in front of the component and fully set up.
-
Process recording
