CLOSED-LOOP LASER POWER CONTROL SYSTEM FOR CLADDING AND LASER METAL DEPOSITION PROCESSES
CLAMIR is a process control system for Laser Additive Manufacturing that measures and maintains the melt pool geometry through a closed-loop control of the laser power using a 1,000 image per second MWIR camera.
- ACCURATE PROCESS CONTROL: Closed loop control of the laser power unit at high-speed
- MWIR IMAGING MONITORING: On-axis process observation with a high-speed uncooled MWIR camera (1000 images per second)
- COMPATIBILITY WITH LAM PROCESSES: Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), laser cladding
- EASY MECHANICAL INTEGRATION: The system is attached to an optical port of the laser head
- HIGHER DYNAMIC RANGE: Monitoring of temperatures starting at 100 ºC
- ANALOG OUTPUT: Compatible with Laser Power Units controlled with analog output (0V – 10 V)
