Application example: laser hardening
LASCON controls high-performance laser processes in job shops and in industrial manufacturing worldwideCustomer problem and requirement
Laser hardening and cladding (laser deposition welding) are high-power laser processes used for large steel components such as large gear wheels or drill heads in the oil industry.
Precise temperature control is required to achieve maximum hardness. The accuracy of the hardening process is particularly important, as machined components are very expensive and cannot simply be replaced or repaired in the event of a failure.
