Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cladding heads, in particular to an anti-collision laser cladding head. Background Technique

[0002] Laser cladding is a new surface modification technology. It forms a metallurgical bond with the substrate surface by adding a cladding material to the substrate surface and using a high-energy density laser beam to melt and solidify it together with a thin layer of the substrate surface. In the laser cladding process, the laser cladding head can be said to be one of the most important structures. The laser cladding head is mainly composed of optical components, powder feeding components, etc. The light emitted by the laser device and the powder output by the powder feeder form an intersection through the laser cladding head, so that the high-energy laser beam can effectively melt and clad all the powder onto the workpiece surface.
