NautiLas proudly offers consultancy services and in particular to the marine industry for laser cladding applications. The construction and development of laser cladding industrial systems is not a trivial process. Success is seen in faster payback with high use, which in marine repair means a flexible system. Our service supports all phases from initial discussions to implementation and staff training. Having your own independent advisor allows you to compare the laser systems on offer and highlight any pitfalls.
Points worth considering:
When developing a Laser Cladding system seek:
- Flexibility
- Reliability
- Serviceability
- Efficiency
- Minimum payback period
Choice of equipment should be based upon:
- Widest application range
- Size and geometry of parts
- Production volume
Process development
- Welding parameter optimisation
- Classification approval
- Equipment refinement
Choice of incorrect type of equipment can lead to:
- Limited range of applications for a given system - limited flexibility
- System being uncompetitive with respect to conventional techniques - inefficient system
- Unnecessarily high investment and operating costs– bad investment
All of the above must be carefully considered during the design stage of the system. Thus, investing in expensive high tech machinery that may end up rusting in a dark warehouse is avoided.
