Laser cladding technology has made another breakthrough in innovation! Shenzhen Horizon Laser has launched a new generation of intelligent cladding equipment
With the continuous improvement of the performance requirements for components in the high-end equipment manufacturing industry, laser cladding technology, as a core technology in the remanufacturing field, is embracing a new round of development opportunities. Recently, Shenzhen Horizon Laser Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Horizon Laser") officially released the intelligent laser cladding system. This equipment has achieved significant breakthroughs in processing efficiency, precision and automation level, providing a brand-new solution for extending the service life and upgrading the performance of equipment in industries such as mining machinery, aerospace and energy power.
Technical highlights: Redefining the standards of cladding processes
Ultra-high-speed cladding, with efficiency increased by 50%
By adopting the independently developed annular spot composite technology, the traditional single-point cladding is upgraded to the area array processing mode. Combined with 3000W-6000W high-power fiber lasers, the single-pass cladding width can reach 8mm, and the deposition rate exceeds 2.5kg/h, significantly shortening the repair cycle of large workpieces.
Intelligent parameter closed-loop control
Integrate the online molten pool monitoring system with the AI process database to adjust the laser power, powder feeding amount and scanning speed in real time, ensuring that the thickness error of the cladding layer is ≤0.1mm, the porosity is less than 0.3%, and the hardness uniformity reaches HRC±2.
Modular design, multi-functional in one machine
By quickly replacing the nozzle module, it can be compatible with three process modes: coaxial powder feeding, side-axis powder feeding and high-speed cladding, meeting differentiated demands ranging from precision gear repair to large-area strengthening of rolls.
Industry application: Solving the pain points of high-end equipment maintenance
Energy field: Successfully applied to the repair of wear-resistant coatings on turbine blades in thermal power plants, extending the service life of components by more than three times.
Rail transit: Achieve high-temperature alloy cladding for high-speed rail brake discs, with fatigue resistance meeting the standards of new parts.
Marine Engineering: Provide corrosion-resistant cladding solutions for key structural components of offshore drilling platforms, with salt spray tests exceeding 5,000 hours.
The depth of the heat-affected zone in traditional surfacing welding processes often reaches 2-3mm, while our equipment can control it within 0.5mm. Zhang, the technical director of Horizon Laser, stated, "The HLC-8000 series is particularly suitable for the 'refurbishment over renewal' transformation of high-value-added components. Each single device can save customers over 2 million yuan in costs annually." "
Service Upgrade: Build a full life cycle support system
Horizon Laser has simultaneously launched the "Cladding Cloud Service Platform". Users can view equipment operation data in real time, obtain remote diagnosis, and share over 200 typical process case libraries worldwide through the mobile APP. In response to the on-site repair needs of heavy workpieces, the company also offers vehicle-mounted mobile cladding workstations, enabling "equipment to be installed and used immediately upon arrival at the factory".
At present, this equipment has passed the SGS environmental protection certification and CE safety certification, and has completed the acceptance test in a large coal mining machinery group in Shaanxi. According to market forecasts, with the advancement of the "14th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Remanufacturing Industry", the market size of laser cladding equipment in China is expected to exceed 5 billion yuan by 2025. Horizon Laser's new product release this time is expected to capture more than 15% of the mid-to-high-end market share.
