Compact metal 3D printing system for greater flexibility in your production.
With ProFocus Compact, you bring repair welding, coating and metal 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 installation spaces and production tasks that require flexibility. This allows you to repair components, apply wear protection coatings or create new geometries — without long waiting times, major modifications or unnecessary complexity. The proven ProFocus technology is brought into a particularly slim design, making the entry into modern laser processing easier, more flexible and easier to plan.
Your benefits at a glance
| • | Repair components instead of replacing them at high cost |
| • | Integrate modern laser processing into existing CNC, robotic or mobile systems |
| • | Expanded possibilities in tight installation spaces and hard-to-reach component areas |
| • | Controlled material deposition with low penetration depth and high repeatability |
| • | Flexible use for repair, coating and additive material build-up |
| • | Personal support from the first idea through to application |
Challenges in production
In many companies, repair, coating and additive manufacturing processes are still associated with considerable effort:
| • | High costs and long delivery times for spare parts |
| • | Difficult accessibility on complex components or tight geometries |
| • | Uncertainty when integrating new laser processes into existing systems |
| • | High demands on process stability, operation and specialist knowledge |
| • | Downtime, rework and long lead times for worn components |
| • | The question of how laser cladding can also be implemented economically with CNC systems, robots or cobots |
This calls for solutions that are powerful, easy to integrate and still manageable in everyday production.
The solution: ProFocus Compact
Compact laser processes – easy to integrate
ProFocus Compact makes modern laser processes usable where large or heavy systems are often too complex. The compact laser head with outsourced laser technology reduces weight and space requirements at the guiding system, making integration into existing machine environments easier.
Instead of requiring a large complete system, ProFocus Compact is based on a slim system solution: the process head is integrated into the existing motion technology, while laser power source, process control, media supply and HMI work in the background as coordinated system components.
You expand your production with precise laser cladding, repair and additive material build-up — with manageable integration effort and high technical process reliability.
Technology & system design
Precise processes in a compact setup
ProFocus Compact combines coaxial material feed with six individually controllable laser beams, enabling precise, direction-independent material deposition with wire or powder.
Technological benefits
| • | Six individually controllable laser beams for targeted energy input |
| • | Low penetration depth of less than 0.5 mm for material-friendly processing |
| • | Defined track width of approx. 2 mm for precise material deposition |
| • | Processing of wire with a diameter of 0.8 to 1.2 mm |
| • | Deposition rates of up to 2 kg/h, depending on application and system configuration |
| • | Easy switching between wire and powder processes |
| • | Integrated shielding gas coverage for low-oxygen process conditions |
| • | Compact laser head weighing approx. 6 kg with good accessibility in tight component areas |
Modular system design
ProFocus Compact is designed as compact, modular system technology that can be integrated flexibly. The laser head can be connected to existing guiding machines via suitable interfaces, while laser power source, process control, media supply and user interface work together as coordinated system components.
Depending on the application, the system solution may include:
| • | compact ProFocus Compact laser head for wire and powder processes |
| • | coaxial mounting for integration into suitable tool or machine interfaces |
| • | external 19-inch rack for laser modules, laser power source and process control |
| • | mobile media module for gas, cooling, wire or powder supply |
| • | HMI for process control, parameterization and monitoring |
| • | interfaces for integration into CNC, robotic or mobile systems |
This results not in a rigid special-purpose solution, but in a scalable system that can be adapted to existing production environments and specific component tasks.
Process know-how & control
Technology alone is not enough. What matters is the interaction between compact system technology, process parameters, material understanding and production-ready integration.
Support from OSCAR PLT
| • | Feasibility assessment of your repair, coating or build-up tasks |
| • | Selection of wire or powder process to match component, material and deposition objective |
| • | Design of process parameters for laser power, feed rate, material feed and shielding gas |
| • | Development of suitable path and build-up strategies for complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas |
| • | Optimization of processing operations in terms of heat input, material deposition and post-processing |
Software & process control
ProFocus process control makes demanding laser processes safe and manageable. Relevant parameters are set, monitored and made usable for repeatable processing results.
Assistance and monitoring functions help avoid typical process disturbances and support the operator during the running process:
| • | WireWatcher for monitoring the wire process and preventing uncontrolled wire breakage |
| • | HeightControl for distance regulation and support of a constant build-up height |
| • | StartControl for automated component detection and safe process starts |
| • | HDR process camera for observing the welding process |
| • | Variable spot control for local adjustment of energy input |
| • | Temperature and process monitoring for quality assurance and traceability |
Through the combination of control, monitoring and process data, laser cladding with ProFocus Compact becomes easier to plan, document and reproduce.
Applications
For repair, coating and additive manufacturing
ProFocus Compact supports companies in selectively repairing worn components, building up functional surfaces and additively manufacturing component areas — especially when accessibility, weight and flexible integration are decisive.
Typical areas of application
| • | Repair of worn or damaged components |
| • | Coating and functionalization of heavily stressed surfaces |
| • | Additive build-up of new contours, functional surfaces and component areas |
| • | Integration of laser cladding into existing CNC, robotic or mobile systems |
