Advanced 9-Axis Laser Cladding System for Emerson
Project Background
Emerson Fisher Controls in Marshalltown, Iowa (USA), sought to expand its high-end manufacturing capabilities within the North American region. To meet increasingly industrial production demands, they required an advanced system specifically tailored for the surface enhancement of complex and intricate industrial components.
The Hornet Solution
Hornet Laser Cladding engineered, delivered, and installed a custom, fully integrated 9-axis laser cladding system. The machine integrates automated multi-axis interpolation with tailored capabilities to process complex parts.
Key features of the installation include:
- 9-Axis Integration: Provides the high precision and flexibility required to maneuver and process intricate components.
- Zoom Optic Powder Cladding: Enables dynamic, fluid adjustments to the laser spot size during operation.
- Induction Heating: Features seamless, built-in thermal management to ensure optimal processing conditions.
Operational Outcome
The newly deployed system successfully expands Emerson Fisher Controls’ high-end manufacturing capacity. By integrating this dedicated surface enhancement technology, Emerson is equipped to meet production demands, supporting their ongoing operational success and long-term growth in laser cladding applications.
