Stationary laser systems
We offer our customers state-of-the-art system integration for the optimum processing of components, characterised by high performance and flexibility.
Our stationary laser processing systems are customised and fabricated according to the customer’s requirements and needs. These systems have been proving their worth in laser-assisted surface processing for over 25 years.
Straightforward and efficient
The ALOstation concept
The ALOstation is a stationary robot system for the precise surface processing of components. It combines the technologies of laser hardening, laser cladding with powder or wire as well as arc welding (CMT welding). It is based on a high-quality industrial robot with 6 synchronised axes, which can be expanded to up to 16 synchronised axes using modular components such as a linear unit or turn/tilt table. The surfaces are processed using high-precision processing heads and a fibre-coupled high-performance diode laser with an output power of up to 45 kW. The technology can be changed swiftly and easily thanks to our quickcoupler system.
Operation of the ALOstation is simple and straightforward thanks to predefined macros (programming assistant) and laser power control using the E-MAqS thermal imaging camera and LompocPro control system.
ALOstation – we build your system according to your needs!
