M\u00fclheim-K\u00e4rlich, 21 October 2026 \u2013 <\/strong>Diode laser specialist Laserline will present innovative solutions for additive manufacturing and laser cladding at Formnext 2026 (November 17\u201320, Frankfurt am Main, Germany). The highlight of this year\u2019s trade show appearance is a new, high-brightness laser system for copper processing in powder bed applications using a blue diode laser. The system enables the highly efficient additive manufacturing of components made of gold, copper, and other reflective metals in a laser powder bed fusion process thanks to its excellent absorption in non-ferrous metals. The new system also features an output power of 750 watts and a scanner unit for achieving particularly small spot sizes. At the booth (Hall 12, Booth C122<\/strong>), visitors can see complex, high-resolution cooling structures that demonstrate the capabilities of high-brilliance blue lasers in the production of delicate, pore-free components.<\/p>\n

Efficient, Wire-Based Coating Processes <\/strong><\/p>\n

In the area of laser cladding, Laserline will present solutions for wire-based cladding using single-wire technology. Depending on the material, either IR or blue lasers are used. Combined with customized beam shaping, these systems enable controlled and stable processes, reproducible coating properties, and efficient material utilization. At the booth, Laserline will display coated plain bearing pads with white metal coatings applied to steel and copper substrates. These examples demonstrate the potential of laser cladding for demanding applications, such as in axial plain bearings.<\/p>\n

New High-Power Solution for Internal Coatings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another trade show highlight is Laserline\u2019s OTI solution developed for high-performance internal coating of components such as pipes, pump cylinders, and extruder parts. The new optics design enables the coating of complex component geometries and hard-to-reach surfaces, such as those found on truck brake discs. Thanks to its compact design and angled nozzle shape, the OTI optics enable reliable and efficient coating even in areas that are difficult to reach with conventional optics.<\/p>\n

Large penetration depths of up to several meters support precise laser beam guidance along the pipe axis and ensure homogeneous coatings over the entire component length while maintaining high reproducibility. Combined with high-power diode lasers, high material deposition rates and process speeds are possible, even on larger internal surfaces. In addition, its space-saving design makes the optics well suited for integration into automated manufacturing processes. A truck brake disc sample will be on display at the booth.<\/p>\n

Process Monitoring for Reproducible Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

Also on display will be a cladding optic featuring integrated sensors for process monitoring and control. The presented closed-loop solution collects process data in real time and uses this information to automatically adjust the laser power. This ensures consistent coating quality even under changing process conditions. The solution helps reduce scrap and rework while supporting efficient quality assurance and greater process reliability.<\/p>\n
