| Popis: | This paper demonstrates the use of two laser cladding automation tools, one that automates laser power and one that automates laser head positioning. Both tools are based on intelligent cameras that evaluate recordings from the cladding zone through the optical path of the laser. The laser power tool monitors and controls local emission from the laser cladding process. The position control tool detects distances between edges on component surfaces and generates an error correction signal based on edge-geometry and material data and various process settings. Examples in which the closed-loop tools are used to clad thin-walled tubes with different alloys and fill irregular grooves on shafts are presented. |
