Process head for powder deposit welding

Laser powder deposit welding is a generative manufacturing process. Using a carrier gas, metal powder is fed through three nozzles into the laser focus and melted onto a workpiece. If the nozzle is moved relative to the workpiece, surfaces, lines or any geometries can be applied.

By coating suitable materials in multiple layers, almost any layer thickness can be achieved, and 3D volumes are also possible.

For visual observation as well as for its adjustment, the LASERHEAD-P is equipped with a coaxially guided Ethernet camera with integrated illumination. 

The process head is very compact and lightweight, as the control of the electronic components is integrated. The housing is completely water-cooled - continuous operation at maximum performance is thus guaranteed.

For perfect powder transport to the process head, we recommend the ALPHA LASER powder feeder AL-PF.
