The Central Wire Feeding Laser Cladding Head is engineered for high-quality wire-fed laser cladding and supports wire diameters ranging from 1.0 to 1.8 mm. Three laser beams converge symmetrically at the wire center, providing balanced energy input, stable wire melting, and consistent deposition performance.
Designed for external surfaces and flat workpieces, the head offers excellent accessibility and process flexibility for a wide range of industrial components. Its central wire feeding configuration enables virtually 100% wire utilization and is compatible with standard welding wires, helping reduce consumable costs and simplify material sourcing.
With strong metallurgical bonding, low heat input, minimal substrate distortion, and dense, high-integrity deposits, the system is suitable for both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. As a laser cladding head for external surface repair and component remanufacturing, it is ideal for dimensional restoration, wear protection, surface enhancement, and extending the service life of high-value components.
