Laser cladding heads are classified into two types: transmission type and reflection type according to the optical path.
The transmission type generally has round light spots, but there are also rectangular light spots.
The reflective type basically has both circular and rectangular light spots.
Transmissive cladding heads cover everything from low-power lasers to 12kw. The laser heads are relatively small and suitable for low-power repair and 3D printing operations. Adjusting the spot size makes it easy to operate, making it more suitable for many working conditions.
Reflective laser cladding heads are mainly used for rectangular light spots. The wide light spot is suitable for large-scale cladding operations. The efficiency is relatively high and the cladding quality is slightly better than the circular light spot. Common laser sizes are 10*2/12 *2/202/402, etc. The same reflective laser head is equipped with a copper mirror, which is water-cooled. Coupled with the metal coating process, the reflectivity is greatly improved, up to 99.2%, and is more suitable for high-power laser power. operation, the maximum power can reach 40kw,
