Laser Mechanisms’ FiberWELD® DHc is a compact material deposition head that is engineered for high duty cycle production applications with low to high power, fiber-delivered lasers. The head’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – coaxially to the beam and right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the additive or cladding process to have total directional independence. FiberWELD® DHc also delivers extended beam-on-time for 24/7 operation.
