In this video, we see the process of manually scanning a crankshaft, a crucial step in an innovative digital workflow for remanufacturing critical components.

TMCOMAS plays a central role in this process, using cutting-edge technology to precisely capture the damaged or worn areas of the part - after an initial surface modification. The result? A detailed 3D model of the affected area, which will serve as the basis for the cladding design.

⚙️ How does the process work?
▪ 3D scanning of the damaged areas (carried out with manual precision and support from TMCOMAS). ▪ Generation of a CAD model for planning the laser path. ▪ Laser cladding only in the affected areas.

⚙️ Use of dedicated software to create a robotic program with:
▪ Collision restrictions and torch inclination.
▪ Number of layers required.
▪ Optimal deposition parameters.

💡Advantages of this digital approach: ▪ Eliminates extensive post-weld rework. ▪ Avoids distortion or metallurgical damage common in traditional methods (TIG/MIG/MAG). ▪ Reduces costs and production time. ▪ Minimizes environmental impact by avoiding the manufacture of new crankshafts.

Thanks to TMCOMAS expertise and the development of intelligent solutions, remanufacturing becomes more efficient, sustainable and technically reliable.
