System engineering

Customised according to your requirements

Laser system engineering

We supply customised robot-based laser systems for laser hardening, laser cladding with powder and wire as well as arc welding for use in tool, mould and mechanical engineering. Our systems are customised and scalable, powerful and flexible.

Depending on the size of your components, we can offer you a stationary, mobile or hybrid system: ALOstation for maximum precision, ALOflex for maximum flexibility and the perfect combination of the two – ALOhybrid.

3 ways for quick and safe operation

Easy operation of the systems

The operation of our systems is uncomplicated and easy to learn. In addition, pre-installed assistance programmes (macros) support the system operator in their work. We provide perfect training for system operators – including on-site training at your premises. Our support team is also on hand with help and advice.

Online

Simple path planning through teaching

  • Simple programming of paths directly on the component by teaching the robot
  • Use of pre-programmed macros, e.g. for creating meander and spiral paths
  • For processing simple components

Offline

Creation of paths using CAM software

  • Importing CAD data into CAM software and selecting the surfaces to be processed
  • Creation of tool paths and programme simulation via CAM software
  • Uncomplicated transfer of the robot programme to the real system
  • For the fabrication of 3D parts and production planning
  • Integration of various CAM software providers possible

Scanning

Scanning of component surfaces

  • Scanning and digitising a selected area on the surface of the component
  • Creation of tool paths and programme simulation via CAM software
  • For repairing worn components and for cladding components
Scanning the component surface with a line scanner

4 steps of process control

Quality and occupational safety

Complete system monitoring
Continuous monitoring of laser and machine safety as well as personal safety.

Complete process monitoring
Monitoring of flow rates and safety glasses as well as monitoring of the melting bath for visual process control.

Real-time process control and regulation
Parameter optimisation and laser power control during the process for quality assurance.

Standardised documentation
Continuous documentation of process parameters using OPC UA for standardised data exchange.
