Customised laser tube welding and cladding machines

LASER welding solutions fromBalliu Machine Tool Corporation include hybrid welding, combining GMAW-welding and laser welding acting in the same welding pool. This combination allows higher welding speeds and deeper penetration. By adding filler material, the tolerance requirements on gaps between parts and fixture positioning is reduced. An alternative method is laser welding with wire filler material. Balliu’s laser welding machines are frequently custom made: length and diameter of the tubes, degree of automation, type of welding process, type of fixtures, degrees of freedom of the welding head, and type of processed material are some of the parameters that are defined according to the user’s needs. Laser cladding is a method of depositing metallic material using powder or wire,

and melting it on a workpiece with the use of a laser beam. Common applications include adding coatings to new workpieces to improve mechanical properties and/ or corrosion resistance; and the repair or resurfacing of worn or damaged parts. Balliu is an export-orientated company, and has an extensive international service team.
