Inner Laser Cladding
Highly adaptable solutions for the inner laser cladding
The demand for surface cladding and repair of the inner wall of some high load-bearing parts continues to increase, and it is desired to have excellent wear resistance, scouring resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., such as bearings, molds, cylinders, oil cylinders, extrusion barrels, Valves, etc. Furthermore, with the increase in product service performance and structural complexity, the industry is increasingly demanding the applicable limit scale, multi-functionality, and high quality and efficiency of internal laser cladding and repair technology.
Unlike outer surface laser cladding, the laser beam, powder, and cooling water in the optic processing head must be transmitted over a long distance in a limited space. The inner laser cladding head requires high integration, precision, and rigidity to accommodate smaller and longer internal diameter parts.

Technical Background
Inner Cladding Optics, also known as ICO, are the core component of the inner laser cladding system. This optical system is continuously optimized and upgraded in terms of optical path design, rigidity of lightweight structures, water-cooling effects, powder convergence performance, and integration. It continually pushes the limits of maximum extension length and minimum applicable internal diameter, accommodating the laser processing needs for internal holes and cavities of most part sizes in the industrial world. The modular system design and multi-series inner laser cladding systems can meet diverse processing requirements, such as laser repair, welding, and hardening. All materials suitable for outer wall laser cladding are also applicable.
