Hornet Laser Cladding has completed the installation of a 9-axis laser cladding system at the Emerson Fisher Controls facility in Marshalltown, Iowa.
This fully integrated system is engineered for complex industrial surface enhancement, expanding manufacturing capabilities for Emerson Fisher Controls in North America to meet demanding production requirements.
Engineered for Precision and Performance
To address the challenges of intricate industrial components, the custom-engineered machine integrates automated multi-axis interpolation with a suite of high-performance capabilities unique to Hornet. Rather than a standard setup, the system relies on three core features that elevate its processing power:
- 9-Axis Integration: This configuration provides the high precision and flexibility required to maneuver around and process highly intricate components.
- Zoom Optic Powder Cladding: During operation, the system is capable of delivering dynamic adjustments to the laser's spot size, allowing for highly adaptable and fluid processing.
- Induction Heating: To ensure optimal processing conditions, the machine features seamless, built-in thermal management through advanced induction heating.
A Foundation for Long-Term Growth
The successful deployment of this machine is more than just an equipment delivery; it represents a strategic collaboration aimed at long-term success.
“We are proud to partner with Emerson on this project, This installation underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge surface technologies, and we look forward to supporting Emerson’s operational success and long-term growth in laser cladding applications.”
By bringing this cutting-edge surface technology to Marshalltown, the collaboration not only strengthens Emerson's operational capabilities but also sets a new standard for high-end manufacturing within the North American region.
