Start of EU project: Weld-seam characterisation in adaptive lase melting deposition
Abstract
Wire-based laser metal deposition (LMD-W) allows the deposition of metal claddings to protect products from wear. Layer by layer, the wire is melted and deposited onto the device. To meet industry requirements for device tolerances and short production times, a highly stable process is required. Therefore, the Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology in Aachen develops, in collaboration with six partners within the EU-funded research project »TopCladd«, an inline, high-precision optical metrology system that can be integrated coaxially into the welding head. The new system is designed to enable manufacturers to supervise and adaptively control the process of laser melt deposition.
