Laser Surface Engineering – the new Fiber-Laser System

Sulzer Innotec operates a fiber laser with 1.5 kW output power as a new and innovative laser beam source. Due to its excellent beam quality it is well suited for keyhole welding applications as well as laser metal forming i.e. build-up welding and laser cladding applications. The small overall size and the high electrical efficiency of the fiber laser make mobile laser welding applications possible at the customers site.

The associated handling system is a special purpose machine designed by Sulzer Innotec with a maximum of flexibility regarding part geometry as well as part size. The multi-role design allows worldwide on-site operation in different configurations.

Ytterbium Fiber-Laser
  • 50 W - 1.5 kW output power
  • Wave length 1070 nm
  • CW or pulse operation
Handling System
  • 5 CNC-axes: 3 translative axes X-Y-Z: 0.7 x 0.7 x 0.5 m
  • 2 rotative axes B-C: ±180°, 360° in the turning/rotating table
  • 2 rotating axes manually adjustable D-E: 360°,±90° in the processing head
  • Turning-/rotating table moveable or even removable
  • Bridge with translative axes adjustable in height
  • CNC-control Sinumerik 840D with 5-axes simultaneous welding ability
  • Offline programming ability
  • Different configurations for stationary as well as mobile operating conditions (see below)

Applications

  • Conduction welding
  • Keyhole welding up to 4 mm weld depth
  • Laser metal forming i.e build-up welding
  • Laser cladding
  • 5-axes simultaneous welding
  • Laser applications on Fe-,Ni-, Co-based materials as well as Al- and Ti-alloys
  • On-site operation possible for laser application on machinery which is difficult to move like turbine shafts or precision casings

  • Reconditioning in the power generation business
  • Aero engine component repair
  • Mold tool and forging die manufacturing
  • Special machine manufacturing

  • Single copies as well as high-volume production
  • Small-sized as well as large-sized parts
