There are a number of different techniques for performing cladding, each with its own specific characteristics in terms of materials, quality of the clad layer and practical issues such as throughput speed, cost and process compatibility.
We provide and support cladding technology based on continued advances in high-power diode arrays. We believe this technology offers improved throughput, better clad quality, minimal part distortion and better deposition control with lower operating costs.
HighLight D-Series
The laser cladding process is the most cost-effective available today for the production environment.
