Repair & Remanufacturing - Repair, Manufacture, or Harden Using DED Laser Technology

Repair of Superalloy Turbine Blades

Repair of Superalloy Turbine Blades

A turbine blade with damage to the leading edge cannot always be replaced: Sotimeco can repair it using DED laser technology, with localized deposition that avoids the need to remelt the entire part.
Stamping tools and dies

Stamping tools and dies

Worn die radii, markings on stamped parts: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild critical areas without having to rebuild the entire die.
Slewing Rings (Pitch and Yaw) - Faux-Brinelling

Slewing rings (pitch and yaw)

Une couronne d'orientation pitch/yaw compte parmi les pièces les plus chères d'une éolienne : Sotimeco peut en recharger la piste de roulement par DED Laser plutôt que de la remplacer.
Undercarriages of Armored Vehicles

Undercarriages of Armored Vehicles

Roller tracks, sprockets, and tracks worn down by the ground: Sotimeco can remanufacture them using DED laser technology, ensuring that military fleets are quickly restored to operational condition.
Forging Dies and Tools

Forging Dies and Tools

The cavities in forging dies crack due to thermal fatigue long before the billet fails: Sotimeco can rebuild the engraving using DED laser technology rather than remaking the entire tooling.
Cracked cast-iron engine block - Repaired by Gicam 2000 Sotimeco

Pump housings and hydraulic casings

Eroded volute inlet, worn bearing seats: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild critical areas of a pump housing or hydraulic casing.
Marine propeller

Marine Propellers

A marine propeller damaged by cavitation does not necessarily have to be remelted: Sotimeco can repair it using DED laser technology (NAB alloy) without remelting the entire propeller.
Shafts and Rotors of Turboalternators

Shafts and Rotors of Turboalternators

Un rotor de turboalternateur forgé d'une seule pièce prend plusieurs mois à fabriquer : Sotimeco peut en recharger les portées de paliers par DED Laser plutôt que de le remplacer.

Gears, pinions, and dog clutches: gear repair

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.
Axles and Pulleys for Cranes and Lifting Equipment

Axles and Pulleys for Cranes and Lifting Equipment

A crane axle specific to each model, not always in stock: Sotimeco can use DED Laser to rebuild the worn shaft to its nominal dimension.
Hydraulic turbine runners (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan)

Hydraulic turbine runners (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan)

Une roue de turbine hydraulique est souvent unique, sur-mesure pour un barrage : Sotimeco peut en recharger les zones de cavitation par DED Laser plutôt que de la refabriquer.
Driveshafts for Military Vehicles

Driveshafts for Military Vehicles

Military gearboxes and axles: Their worn drive shafts can be remanufactured using DED Laser technology at Sotimeco, without the need for new parts.
Plow shares and tillage discs

Plow shares and tillage discs

A plowshare wears down only along its cutting edge: Sotimeco can harden it using DED Laser technology, with a grade tailored to the soil type.

Shafts and Rotors for Petrochemical Process Pumps

Mechanical seal seats exposed to contaminated or corrosive fluids: Sotimeco can reseal them using DED laser technology without having to replace the entire shaft.
Rear section of a wind turbine nacelle

Wind Turbine Main Shaft and Bearing Supports

Avoiding the lifting of heavy components offshore: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to rebuild the bearing surfaces of a wind turbine's main shaft without replacing it.
Gas and steam turbine blades

Gas and steam turbine blades

Leading-edge erosion, tip wear: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild gas and steam turbine blades made of nickel-based superalloys.
Lining and rollers for rotary kilns

Lining and rollers for rotary kilns

Every hour that a cement kiln is shut down is costly: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to rebuild the bearing surfaces of the kiln rings and rollers during a scheduled on-site service call.
Structural components for military helicopters

Structural components for military helicopters

Fittings and rotor mounts for military helicopters: Gicam’s technology can repair them using DED laser technology, a matter of national sovereignty for fleets no longer in production.
Oven and continuous casting rolls

Oven and continuous casting rolls

When multiple rollers on the same line are worn down by scale, Sotimeco can resurface their outer diameter using DED laser technology without having to replace the entire shaft.
Glass Molds - Roughing and Finishing Machines

Glass molds: roughing and finishing

Molten glass at over 1,000 °C, followed by cooling, in each cycle: Sotimeco can use DED laser technology to rebuild the cavity of a glass mold rather than remelting it.
