ELC LMD Series


ELC LMD Series: Modular laser coating systems for brake disc production

The next generation of brake discs requires precision applied wear protection coatings. The ELC LMD machines have been specially developed for this demanding task. With its modular concept, it enables the economical laser metal deposition of brake discs - from small series to mass production.

Precision hard coating for long-lasting brake discs

Customized configuration for your production

The ELC LMD machines combine state-of-the-art laser coating technology with a flexible modular concept. This combination enables precision adaptation of the system to a wide range of production scenarios - from single part production to mass production. The modular concept of the ELC LMD machines enables optimum adaptation to your production requirements:

The Mono Variant

The mono variant with one process module is ideal for smaller production volumes, special coating tasks or as a prototype system for coating development.  

The Duo Variant

The Duo variant doubles the processing capacity with two process modules working in parallel - ideal for medium to large batch production. 

The Trio Variant

For maximum productivity, the Trio variant with three process modules is available, which enables the highest throughput rates. Each module works independently and can be serviced individually if necessary without interrupting overall production.

Precision machining thanks to intelligent process monitoring

The ELC LMD machines have a multi-stage monitoring system for consistent coating quality: 

A high-resolution in-process camera continuously monitors the molten pool, enabling direct control of the coating process. The integrated surface scanner measures the coating thickness with precision during machining and ensures uniform coating results. The optional powder gas jet analysis ensures optimum distribution of the coating material and minimizes powder consumption. 

  • Integrated melt pool monitoring with high-resolution in-process camera 
  • Precision coating thickness control using a surface scanner 
  • Powder gas jet analysis for consistent process quality

Sophisticated component handling for batch production

The fully integrated handling system was specially developed for the requirements of batch production: 

Sequentially controlled friction roller conveyors transport the workpieces gently through the system. This reliably prevents damage to raw and finished parts. The integrated swivel device positions the components in just 0.8 seconds - an important factor for short cycle times in batch production. 

The automated loading and unloading system reduces manual intervention to a minimum and ensures a continuous material flow. 

  • Gentle component transport thanks to sequentially controlled friction roller conveyors  
  • Panning time of just 0.8 seconds minimizes non-productive time  
  • Integrated handling system for automated loading and unloading 
Powder conveying system of the ELC 450 LMD with powder hoppers and conveyor technology
The flexible powder feed system enables the processing of different powder materials for optimum coating results

Flexible powder conveying system 

The system can be equipped with various powder feed systems to optimally meet your specific coating requirements.  

  • Conveying capacity of up to 150 grams per minute for high application rates 
  • Material change in under 30 seconds for flexible production processes 
  • Even powder feed thanks to sophisticated top-down system 

 

Efficiency through integration 

The ELC LMD machines are designed as complete manufacturing cells. All process-relevant components - from the laser sources to the extraction system - are integrated into the system to save space. A central supply interface simplifies integration into existing production lines. The optional connection to handling systems enables complete automation of the coating process and integration into a fully integrated process chain.
