Off-Axis Linear Spot Laser Cladding Nozzle with Side Powder Feeding
Presentation of the equipment's characteristics
The Greenstone High-Efficiency Off-Axis Linear-Spot Laser Cladding Nozzle is a purpose-built solution for DED/LMD laser cladding using a rectangular/linear laser spot. Unlike coaxial designs, this nozzle adopts an off-axis (side) powder-feeding direction, delivering powder laterally into the process zone to support stable deposition with linear beam profiles—ideal for large-area cladding and high-throughput surface processing.
Developed by Greenstone for industrial reliability, the nozzle is designed to work with a gravity powder feeder, enabling carrier-gas-free powder feeding and reducing dependence on inert gas consumption for powder delivery. This makes it especially attractive for production environments looking to lower operating costs while maintaining consistent cladding performance.
With water cooling and a controlled powder stream geometry, the nozzle supports stable operation across demanding duty cycles. It is particularly suited for large cylindrical or large-surface workpieces, such as hydraulic cylinders and rolling mill rolls, where efficient coverage, repeatability, and process stability are essential for repair, remanufacturing, and surface strengthening.
Off-axis (side-fed) powder delivery for linear/rectangular laser spots: Optimized for cladding with linear beam profiles and wide tracks.
High-efficiency cladding performance: Designed for stable, productive deposition on large parts and large areas.
Carrier-gas-free powder feeding (with gravity feeder): Enables operation without consuming inert gas for powder transport, reducing operating costs.
Water-cooled thermal stability: Improved heat management for consistent performance in industrial cladding environments.
Best-fit applications for large components: Ideal for hydraulic cylinders, rolls, and large cylindrical workpieces requiring repair or surface enhancement.
Wide process adaptability: Supports a broad powder size range and flexible powder-flow length to match different cladding setups.
