ProFocus Compact

Compact metal 3D printing system for greater flexibility in your production.

With ProFocus Compact, you bring repair welding coating and 3D printing exactly where you need them: into your existing CNC machine, into a robotic system or into a mobile unit.

The particularly lightweight and compact laser head opens up new possibilities for hard-to-reach components, tight spaces and production tasks, requiring flexibility. This allows you to repair components, apply wear-resistant coatings or create new geometries — without long waiting times, major modifications or unnecessary complexity.

Your benefit: ProFocus Compact brings the proven ProFocus technology into a particularly slim design. This makes the entry into modern laser processing easier, more flexible and easier to plan — even where space, weight or existing systems have previously set limits.

Your benefits at a glance

• Repair components instead of replacing them at high cost
• Extended possibilities in tight spaces and hard-to-reach component areas
• Make better use of existing production systems
• Introduce modern laser processing into existing manufacturing system
• Flexible use for repair, coating and additive material build-up
• Personal support from the first idea through to application

Existing challenges

Many companies face similar questions when it comes to repair, coating and additive manufacturing:

• How can components be repaired faster instead of being newly sourced?
• How can existing machines be used more efficiently?
• How can hard-to-reach areas be processed safely?
• How can metal 3D printing be introduced economically without investing directly in a large complete system?
• Can a laser welding system also be realized with a cobot?
• How can downtime, spare parts costs and long lead times be reduced?

This is exactly where ProFocus Compact comes in.

The solution: ProFocus Compact – high performance in a compact space

ProFocus Compact makes modern laser processing usable where large systems are often too complex. Its slim design lowers the barrier to entry and makes it easier to bring new applications into your own production step by step.

Instead of requiring a lot of space, long project timelines or extensive modifications, ProFocus Compact offers a solution that is easier to plan, integrate and operate.

The result: You expand your capabilities with manageable effort — while keeping your production flexible.

What you can use ProFocus Compact for

Component repair

Damaged or worn areas can be rebuilt precisely. This allows valuable components to be used for longer instead of being replaced prematurely.

Your benefit: lower spare parts costs, shorter downtime and greater independence from delivery times.

Wear protection

Heavily stressed surfaces can be selectively reinforced or protected. This is particularly helpful for components that are regularly exposed to friction, pressure or high loads.

Your benefit: longer service life and fewer unplanned failures.

Additive manufacturing

New contours, functional surfaces or component areas can be built up layer by layer — especially where conventional manufacturing would be complex or uneconomical.

Your benefit: greater design freedom and economical solutions for specific component requirements.

Flexible production within existing systems

ProFocus Compact is suitable for companies that want to expand their existing production in a targeted way without directly planning a large complete system.

Your benefit: You create new possibilities in your production while staying flexible, predictable and close to your existing processes.

Technology & system design

ProFocus Compact uses the proven ProFocus technology from OSCAR PLT in a particularly compact design. The technology is designed for precise laser cladding, repair welding and metal additive manufacturing.

The filler material is fed coaxially. Put simply, this means that the material is introduced exactly where it is needed — regardless of the processing direction.

Your benefit: greater freedom in geometries, processing positions and applications.

Hardware

The hardware of ProFocus Compact is deliberately slim in design: powerful enough for demanding tasks, yet compact enough for simple integration and best accessibility.

The laser head, material feed and optional cameras and sensors form a system that makes everyday work easier: the material is applied precisely, the process remains controllable and the results become more predictable.

Typical components and additions include:

• Compact ProFocus laser head for good accessibility, even in tight component areas
• Wire or powder feed, allowing you to use the right material flexibly depending on the component and application
• Process observation, enabling operators to better control the processing operation and react more quickly when needed
• Monitoring functions for stable processes and predictable results
• Coordinated system technology for smooth integration into existing production processes

Your benefit: You get a robust solution for industrial applications without overloading your production with unnecessary technology.

Process know-how & control

OSCAR PLT provides not only the right system technology, but also supports you in the specific application. This turns powerful technology into a solution that works reliably in your production.

Depending on the task, OSCAR PLT supports you with:

• Selecting the right process for repair, coating or layer-by-layer material build-up
• Adapting the system to the component, material and objective for a result that matches the application
• Determination of suitable process parameters for stable and repeatable processes
• Commissioning and training for a safe start within your own team
• Support after project launch for optimization, questions and further applications

Your benefit: You do not have to master the technology on your own at start. OSCAR PLT makes it easier to get started, reduces uncertainty and helps you achieve reliable results faster.

Service & integration: from the first idea to application

OSCAR PLT supports you in integrating ProFocus Compact into your production in a meaningful way:

• Feasibility studies
• Individual system design and integration
• Assembly and commissioning
• Training for your employees
• Process support and service

This turns innovative technology into a solution that works in everyday use.
