Xiris Laser Cladding Cameras

Laser cladding is a state-of-the-art process used to produce high-performance coatings on metal parts to reduce wear or corrosion. It uses a high-power laser to melt the cladding material and a thin layer of the substrate to create a strong metallurgical bond.

There are many challenges you can face while laser cladding, such as porosity, defect boundaries, and other quality issues may occur when the process is not running in its ideal condition. Thermographic weld cameras that can measure temperature from near ambient to above the melting point can help improve quality assurance and enhance productivity.

Learn how you can use Xiris weld cameras in your laser cladding applications in this free whitepaper article. In this article you'll learn the benefits and considerations of using weld cameras to monitor laser cladding, such as:

The challenges of laser cladding today
Why to use Shortwave Infrared (SWIR) instead of Visible Light, MWIR or LWIR
Why SWIR thermal imaging is an unparalleled monitoring tool for laser cladding processes
How to mount a thermal camera for laser cladding processes
