ProFocus WeldingCell

Automated additive manufacturing and repair solution

Take the efficiency of your manufacturing, coating and repair processes to the next level with the ProFocus WeldingCell – the automated robot cell for laser metal deposition welding (Laser-DED). This turnkey system enables intuitive operation through digitalization, from scanning to near-net-shape welding, significantly reducing material usage, rework and personnel costs. Equipped with modern sensor technology, precise actuators, intelligent process control and integrated data processing, the ProFocus WeldingCell ensures reproducible welding results – even with demanding materials and complex geometries.

Existing Challenges

In many companies, deposition welding is still characterized by manual processes. This means:

High staffing requirements and reliance on skilled personnel for planning and setup
Limited process reliability and reproducibility, especially for complex components
Limited suitability for small batch sizes

The Solution: Automated Process Chain

With the ProFocus WeldingCell, you can implement a continuous digital process chain:

Scan → point cloud generation → CAD/CAM → automated deposition welding

As the only provider in the field of wire-based Laser Directed Energy Deposition (w-LDED) with a fully integrated process chain for repair, coating and additive manufacturing, OSCAR PLT offers:

High deposition rates with controlled penetration
Assistance systems for stable and reproducible processes
Precise, near-net-shape welding strategies
Efficient processing of complex geometries

Facts and benefits

Automated process chain

Seamless digitalization from scanning to welding reduces manual intervention and ensures stable, reproducible results.

Near-Net-Shape Manufacturing

Precise cladding minimizes material usage and significantly reduces — or in some cases completely eliminates — the need for post-processing.

Maximum Efficiency

Reduced labor requirements, lower consumable material usage, and shorter process times sustainably decrease overall costs.

New Material Capabilities

Enables safe and cost-effective repairs even for demanding materials such as cast iron, titanium, or flux-cored wire applications.
