Presentation
Designed specifically for the additive manufacturing industry, GICAM 2000 can produce any metal part, whether solid or thin-walled, with unrivalled precision.
Like all Sotimeco solutions, GICAM 2000 is equipped with the same technologies as the GICAM family. Its capacity to handle parts up to 2m3 makes it an ideal solution for mass production or repair of parts of all sizes, thanks to its patented Sotimeco DED/WLAM interchangeable laser printing nozzle (which enables it to switch from the WLAM/wire process to the LMD/powder process) and its multi-material feed (double powder feed + double wire feed). And like all Sotimeco solutions, GICAM 2000 can print in mono or bi-materials, or create a mix of materials in precise and variable proportions to produce parts with unique properties.
GICAM 2000 benefits from a design 100% optimized for additive manufacturing, and a monolithic architecture that enables it to be integrated simply and rapidly into any industry, whether for manufacturing, repair or prototyping.
GICAM 2000
Size
5280 x 2730 x 2730 mm
Printing technology
DED/WLAM laser nozzle.
Patented rotating laser printing nozzle (material savings of up to 50%, rapid production, optimized energy consumption).
Raw material feed (powders or wires) on-board the head, close to the process.
Interchangeable rotary laser cladding head.
Material deposition speed
Up to 1kg/h.
Material distribution system
Patented dual-material dispensing system: powders or wires.
For each type of material, a double powder distributor and a double wire distributor make it possible to create parts composed of 2 materials (e.g. a steel core covered with a stellite surface), or to create a mixture of materials in precise, variable proportions.
Printing volume
2000 x 1000 x 1000 mm
Laser power
2kW @ 1080 nm
Robot
Fanuc dual-encoder robot (particularly suited to environments requiring precision and constant force)
Movement axes
6+2-axis technology: 6 axes for the head allow the model and nozzle to be constantly reoriented to avoid the creation of time- and material-consuming support structures + 2-axis positioner
Control interface
Control interface with console and dual 24ʺ display.
Process monitoring
Two optical cameras provide real-time visualization of the process: a process supervision camera (laser diode lighting adapted to environments with high thermal emission) + a general supervision camera.
Supervision
Control of flows, pressures, flow rates (material feed, cooling, protective/transport gases), dew point, temperature amplitude. Oxygen control (inerting option).
Hygrometry and temperature control inside powder tanks.
CAM software
Compatible with a wide range of CAM software (Rhinorobot/Adaone/NX/…)
Certifications
CE conformity
