The ALRock Mobile is a flexible laser hardening system that brings the laser directly to the workpiece, eliminating the need to dismantle large or complex components. With its far-reaching robotic arm and advanced scanner software, it can access hard-to-reach areas and deliver precise, distortion-free hardening. The system creates real-time 3D models for accurate process planning and simulation, ensuring reliable results with minimal thermal impact.
Mobile operation — laser system can be positioned directly at the workpiece, no dismantling required.
Robotic arm reach allows access to complex geometries and confined areas.
Advanced scanner software — easily select hardening areas, generate real-time 3D models, and simulate processes before execution.
Automatic program transfer — confirmed programs are directly sent to the robot for execution.
Precision hardening — laser beam follows workpiece contours in free 3D movements.
Flexible applications — weld edges, nubs, grain structures, and individual points can be selectively hardened.
Minimal distortion — localised heating with self-quenching reduces thermal load and prevents deformation.
The component to be hardened no longer needs to be dismantled, as the laser can be brought right to the work-piece. The far-reaching robot arm can easily access hard-to-reach places. All that is needed is the laser beam’s free access to the work-piece surface to be hardened.
The area which is to be hardened can be easily programmed using the scanner software: simply select the area that you wish to scan. Then the robot moves the scanner automatically to the marked area over multiple tracks. The result is a real-time 3D model. The operator then simply configures the process-relevant parameters, after which the program is simulated virtually.
The generated and confirmed program is automatically sent to the robot.
The laser beam precisely follows the work-piece contour in free 3D movements. Weld edges, nubs, grain structures, or individual points can be easily hardened this way. There is practically no thermal load on the surrounding area, which means that distortion is kept to a minimum. The heat flux within the component leads to self-quenching.
On-site hardening — saves time and cost by eliminating the need to dismantle components.
Accurate process planning — real-time 3D modelling and virtual simulation ensure optimal results.
Selective treatment — hardens only the required areas, preserving the integrity of surrounding material.
Reduced thermal stress — self-quenching effect minimises distortion and maintains dimensional accuracy.
Versatile and efficient — ideal for large tools, molds, or machine components requiring localised hardening.
