ALOpowder
This processing optics for laser powder cladding has a fixed laser track width.
ALOpowder guarantees a very good accessibility to the part during the process due to its compact structural form.
There is a wide selection of powder nozzles, which can be combined with this optics. We support our customers in choosing the right nozzle according to their application.
ALOpowder can be integrated in all our laser systems. Moreover, since it is a component of our modular system configurations it can be used alternately with other optics, such as for example ALOhard for laser hardening.
Application
- Coating of 3D surfaces as a corrosion and wear protection
- Repair of worn parts
- Design modification or correction of production failures
- Additive manufacturing of 3D parts
Advantages
- Low weight due to the application of aluminium components – compatibility with robots with a lower load capacity
- Lower interference contours due to the compact structural form
- Combinable with various powder nozzles
- Selection of different nozzle – workpiece distances
- System for quick replacing of cover slides
