MATERIALS & MANUFACTURING
PRODUCT GUIDE
Gear repair
FORCE Technology (Brøndby,
Denmark), in partnership with Hexagon
Manufacturing (Novi, Michigan) and
RoboDK (Montreal, Quebec), has focused
on making gear repair a more
sustainable process for manufacturers.
The purpose of the project was to improve
laser welding procedures and
determine if sustainable gear repair was
possible using robot toolpath programming,
digital twin, simulation and postprocessing.
The project reportedly used
Direct Energy Deposition (DED) technology,
a process that follows a toolpath
created directly from a CAD geometry
and builds up parts in successive
layers. The DED toolpath was programmed
using CAM software from
Hexagon and RoboDK's robot program.
FORCE Technology provided a 6-axis
KUKA robot arm mounted on a rail, a
tilting table for rotary operation and a
spindle to produce the part.

Brake coatings
CHIRON Group (Tuttlingen, Germany)
has developed a high-speed AM (additive
manufacturing) coating process for
brake discs. The company states that
compared to conventional coating processes,
its new system enables powder
particles to travel longer distances before
they are applied during high-speed
laser metal deposition, which enables a
significantly faster coating speed. The
company also claims that this process
offers advantages in comparison to
thermal coating using high-velocity oxygen
fuel spraying. CHIRON states that
the process is specifically designed for
series production. The system works
with two lasers for front and rear coating
and the brake discs are transferred
automatically. The coating process is
reportedly compliant with upcoming
Euro 7 standards.
