THE POWER OF CLAMIR
Comparison: uncontrolled vs closed-loop process
See how CLAMIR transforms laser process stability in real conditions.
Constant laser power causes overheating and lack of adherence to the base material.
Laser power is closed loop controlled in real time using the information extracted from the melt pool IR images.
Closed-loop control automatically adjusts laser power in real time, preventing defects and ensuring consistent results.
