Our solutions make it possible to quickly produce parts with high mechanical strength or to add a layer with a high degree of wear resistance by combining different materials
An alternative to hard chrome plating, which is subject to increasingly strict REACH regulations: Sotimeco can use DED laser deposition to apply Stellite, Inconel, or carbides to cylinder rods.
A groove carved into the shaft by the lip seal is causing oil leaks: Sotimeco can resurface this section using DED laser technology without having to machine the entire shaft.
A hydraulic block machined from solid stock wastes material: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to produce a near-net-shape blank, thereby reducing the amount of machining required.
Worn grooves and centering features on a specific coupling half: Sotimeco can rebuild them using DED Laser technology, without having to remanufacture the coupling.
A wear sleeve with non-standard dimensions that takes a long time to source: Sotimeco can rebuild it using DED laser technology to restore it to its nominal dimensions.
Cavitation erosion on the vanes of an old pump impeller: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to restore the hydraulic profile while maintaining the balance.
Worn bearing seats and splines on a forged gearbox shaft: Sotimeco can rebuild them using DED Laser technology to restore them to their nominal dimensions.
Hardness on the sliding surfaces, toughness at the core: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to deposit a hard material exclusively on the friction areas of a drawer.
Worn bearing seats and seal seats on a pump or hydraulic motor shaft: Sotimeco can rebuild them using DED Laser technology and then re-machine them to the correct dimensions.
A few damaged teeth on a large-diameter gear or a gearbox dog gear: Sotimeco can repair the area using DED laser technology before re-cutting or grinding.
Increased rotor-to-housing clearance due to erosion caused by contaminated fluid: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild pump wear rings with a more suitable alloy.
