The LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid is a hybrid solution that combines powder nozzle laser metal additive manufacturing with 5-axis milling on one machine. The machine allows for milling operations between the laser metal additive manufacturing processes, so areas that can no longer be reached on the finished workpiece can be directly finished by milling. The LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid demonstrates outstanding performance in a wide range of applications, such as machining of complex-shaped aircraft and medical components as well as repair and corrosion-/wear-resistant coatings of parts.
The laser head is clamped by the spindle via the HSK interface, and tool changes are performed automatically. As the laser head retracts outside of the machine during cutting operations, cutting with coolant is possible and protection of the laser head from cutting chips is ensured.
The LASERTEC 65 DED hybrid is capable of handling workpieces up to φ500 × 400 mm in size and up to 600 kg in weight. The compact design with a footprint of approximately 25㎡ is also a distinctive feature of the hybrid machine.
