Enables repair coatings on site. Handling of optics as well as the temporary safety is implemented differently depending on the ambient conditions by the specialized executive company on site.
GTV turnkey laser system for coating of gas turbine rotors.
Division of the total system in the main cabin for processing parts up to 8 m long, 3 m in diameter and 30 t gross weight. An additional cabin with a separate robot and rotary-tilt table can be used for smaller components and internal coating. To ensure the cabin safety a combination of passive and active elements has been chosen.

GTV turnkey laser system for coating knives for the food industry.
Components to be coated are fed into the cabin using a rotary table and can be removed from the cabin again after coating. Through the integrated Sinumerik control, CNC machining programs can be conveniently integrated for the laser application.
GTV turnkey laser system with CladdOn control unit for wear- and corrosion-resistant coating of components for the power plant and oil industry as well as for a wide range of other industrial applications.
The flexible rotary tilt table can be loaded with components and used in the same way as a roller laser bench thanks to the sliding steady rest. The robot is installed on a fixed pedestal.
The compact GTV Laser control unit with integrated powder feeding unit "CladdOn" was developed for the fast and efficient entry into the field of laser cladding. Furthermore, it is possible to integrate the GTV "CladdOn" unit into already existing GTV thermal spraying coating systems.
The laser source is not integrated in the compact system, as is usually the case; instead, it is connected to a complete 5 kW laser source. The system is used for flexible coating of knives for the agricultural industry.
