Laser Cladding Services - Capabilities

Laser Cladding Services, Perth operates a 7.2 metre long Laser Cladding Boom that can be used to clad shafts up to 6 metres in length and 1.5 metres in diameter, with a maximum weight of 10 tonnes (larger sizes on application – contact Laser Cladding Services for further details). Our Direct Diode Laser Cladding Machine has a wave length of 976nm, which is better absorbed by the base material than other types of lasers, such as CO2 or ND:YAG lasers.

The laser cladding machine is a 4 axis cladding machine capable of laser cladding shafts or components rotating in the horizontal or vertical axis, as well as complex shaped components. It has 7 metres of travel on the X axis, 0.9m on the Y axis & 1.2m on the Z axis. The 4th axis is B (rotates about the Y axis) or A (for rotating shafts). The laser is 4Kw with a 11.5mm x 2.5mm rectangular beam spot.

Capabilities – Machining

Laser Cladding Services is located within Pinjarra Engineering’s workshop, so all pre and post machining processes are performed in-house, saving on time and transport costs. Their large range of lathes, milling machines, horizontal and vertical boring machines, overhead cranes, skilled machine operators and stringent quality control (ISO 9001 accreditation) will ensure your project will flow smoothly from start to completion. Laser Cladding Services also has access to a range of other machine shops, complete with CNC capabilities, to match any project you may have.

Machine Shop Capabilities

• 2000m² demarcated floor space
• Overhead and pedestal cranes
• CNC Milling - 5-axis milling to 2.1m / 8T
• CNC Turning – up to 6m / 14T
• CNC Vertical boring - 2.5m / 15T
• Floor borer – 4.0m x 2.5m, 30T CNC table

Almost all types of metallic components can be laser clad using a large variety of cladding powders, whether it is for wear resistance, corrosion resistance or restoration of worn components, there is likely to be a cladding combination that will have your components and equipment back into service in no time.
