About
What Is a Laser Cladding & Grinding Machine?Surface Treatment and Component Repair in One Machine
Laser cladding uses a laser to melt and deposit metal powder, forming a clad layer on the workpiece surface.
Based on JTEKT’s proven G3 Series CNC cylindrical grinder, the LC2000 integrates a laser cladding system with the machine.
Surface treatment through finish grinding is completed in a single chuck on the machine. Also repairs worn or damaged areas.
Value
Creating New Value Through Laser Cladding
02
Prevent DisposalRepair and Restore Damaged or Worn Parts
A clad layer up to approximately 2 mm thick enables build-up repair of worn or damaged areas. From post-grinding damage and undersize recovery to used-part repair, it helps reduce scrap and remakes.
03
Hexavalent Chromium-FreeTailored Surface Properties
Commercially available metal powders can provide application-specific properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and adhesion strength.
The hexavalent chromium-free process also helps reduce environmental impact and support regulatory compliance.

Applications
Where the LC2000 Can Be Applied
The following are examples. Further applications can be developed to meet your needs.
Finishing Cylindrical Workpieces
Repair Damage and Undersize After Grinding
Minor damage or undersize in the final process can result in scrapping or remaking a workpiece after all prior work is complete.
The LC2000 enables recovery through laser cladding build-up repair, helping bring the workpiece to the required finished condition.
