TEKNIKER’s robotic cell is equipped with a 6-axis industrial robot and a diode laser with a power output of up to 10 kW. It is designed to perform localised surface heat treatments, including hardening and surface quenching, on large metal components without the need to place them inside a furnace.

Cooling takes place instantaneously through self-quenching, without the use of liquid coolants. This simplifies the process and reduces the risk of dimensional distortion.

The galvanometric scanning head enables scanning speeds of up to 3 m/s, allowing large surface areas to be treated with high productivity.
