One of LaserTherm´s main activities is the supply of special production systems for the laser welding, surfacing and surface hardening technologies. In this area the company provides comprehensive services from technological validation of the production process, design and manufacture of the workplace to final integration and launching the production process including the training of the personnel. Each system the firm realises is dimensioned and adjusted to the customer´s needs so as to allow efficient innovation of the production process while cutting down the resulting costs and raising the quality of the product or production operation. Part of the delivery is the technological optimisation of the production process, long-term support of the customer and technical and technological training of the personnel.

Laser Welding One of the fastest developing methods is the laser welding technology suitable for processes requiring high manufacturing production with the highest requirements for weld joint quality. This technology is applied especially in large-scale serial processes in the automotive industry, but it is also widely used in power engineering and the railway and food industries, where laser welding is used especially for the very good quality of the welds, minimum distortions of the welded parts, high welding speed and excellent possibility of the production process reproduction.

Laser Cladding The laser cladding method is very widely used for its ability to raise the functionality and service life of machine parts and tools and their renovation. It is used in the primary production of machine components and tools, where a functional weld deposit with high resistance to abrasion, cavitation, thermal and mechanical strain or chemical corrosion is applied to strongly exposed places of the part. Another possibility is to use laser weld deposits for the repair and renovation of components and tools, where damaged surfaces with a laser deposit are combined with a suitable material and then machined to their original geometry. This method is used increasingly in power engineering, mining, oil and gas extraction and other sectors of heavy industry.

Laser Hardening Laser hardening is a very efficient technology used in the thermal treatment of a wide range of parts. The high variability and precision of the technology makes it possible to process geometrically complex shapes practically disregarding their size. The method is one of the most efficient ways of surface hardening. LaserTherm has good experience with the integration of the production systems for the hardening of all sizes of pieces from small parts to parts weighing up to several dozen tons.

The innovation of production with the use of modern laser technologies is a very efficient instrument for the stabilisation of production, reducing defects and raising production performance. LaserTherm is one of the leaders in the area of integration and development of systems using industrial lasers.
