WHEN YOU NEED EXPERT ADVICE.
We have material welding engineers on staff that can consult with you and determine the most effective solution to meet your needs.
An example of an Automated Repair Tool Path
To reduce both cost and turn around time Group Six has developed a more efficient repair process that uses a laser scanner and custom-developed tool path algorithms to repair and fill in worn out areas of components without pre-machining. The process eliminates pre-machining, decreases the welding time, and lowers filler metal consumption.

Automated Repair
In partnership with NRC, CCWJ, LIMBDA we have developed process and algorithms to increase the delivery and reduce the cost of parts that come in for repair. The process steps consist of scanning the candidate component, using custom algorithms to determine where and how much material is needed, planning the robot path, and adding the material with the laser.
Robotics
The third laser cladding cell we added was designed to reduce the human interaction needed for higher volume parts. It flips the traditional laser cladding cell on its head. Most laser cladding setups use a robot to take the laser processing head to the part that is placed in a rotary chuck or positioner. This works fine in a lot of instances; we have 2 cells that run this way. But, in our 3rd cell, the laser cladding head is fixed, and the robot brings the parts to the processing head. The advantages include, reduced operator involvement, faster processing times, and more reliable operation thus reducing costs to our customer.
