Repair process chain of a joint support
An LMD repair process chain is illustrated using the example of an axle stub. The core element is a TruLaserCell 3000 with a triangulation scanner integrated into the machine. The geometry is detected by the triangulation sensor and the data is read into offline CAM software. The tool paths are then generated in the CAM software. The LMD process can be simulated in the software and then executed on the machine. In this example, Netvision's CAM software "LaserTools" is used. In principle, this solution can also be implemented with other CAM software solutions, e.g. Siemens NX, MasterCam.
