Sulzer Metco, Switzerland, introduces MetcoClad, a robotics-based laser cladding system that can apply welded deposits on multi-dimensional surfaces in a single cladding run. The robust systems simplify operability, reduce production set-up time, and monitor the cladding process. Part manipulation can be tailored to customer requirements.
MetcoClad systems build on the company’s expertise for the design of integrated thermal spray systems, and decades of experience in laser cladding services for many different industries. Sulzer Metco has outstanding proficiency for cladding newly manufactured parts and for repaired operations on a broad range of substrates. This unique combination of integration and service knowhow benefits customers looking for a highly experienced supplier for laser cladding systems.
Sulzer Metco can provide full services to MetcoClad system customers, including training, application development, calibration services, field service, global spare parts logistics, and pilot and production ramp-up cladding services. Part manipulation can be tailored to customer requirements. Whether the customer has prior experience in laser cladding or is installing its first system, Sulzer Metco’s consulting and full service methodology will ensure a system that is both efficient and reliable.
The MetcoClad systems are the latest addition to Sulzer Metco’s laser cladding portfolio of products and services, which includes laser cladding application services and feedstock materials for wear resistance, corrosion resistance, general surface build up and surface restoration. Sulzer Metco will also showcase the MetcoClad systems at Fabtech, Chicago IL, U.S.A. in November of this year.
