Robotic Laser Cladding Systems

Direct Diode, Fibre, Fibre-Coupled and EHLA laser technologies for precision surface restoration and component life extension.

Robotic laser cladding

Extend component life, restore worn surfaces, optimise performance.

Laser cladding deposits metallic powder through a focused laser beam, creating a fully fused coating on worn or damaged components.

The process produces a strong metallurgical bond with minimal heat input, which matters for high-value parts that distort easily under conventional welding.
Falkon Automation’s robotic laser cladding systems apply this process with consistent results across long production runs. Servo-controlled positioning maintains precise standoff distance, powder feed rate and travel speed throughout every cycle.

Industrial applications

Where laser cladding is used.

  • Mining equipment: wear plates, bucket teeth, dragline components
  • Oil and gas: drill pipe hardbanding, stabiliser restoration, valve seats
  • Industrial machinery: shafts, rolls, bearing seats
  • Pumps and impellers for corrosion protection
  • Dimensional restoration of worn tooling
Benefits

Why laser cladding outperforms hard chrome and flame spray.
