At Hornet Laser Cladding, we focus on practical innovation that delivers real results in production environments.

With our Hornet Robot App, you can effortlessly perform laser cladding on complex, eccentric parts such as crankshafts.

The Challenge of Eccentricity

Traditionally, programming a robot to clad off-center or eccentric parts is a time-consuming and highly technical process. It often requires extensive coding, specialized software knowledge, and hours of manual teaching by the operator. This downtime directly impacts productivity and profitability.

The Hornet Solution

With the pre-defined macros installed directly within our proprietary Hornet APP, operators can now program eccentric parts quickly and easily. Once the parameters are set, the cladding process can be started within minutes.

  • Maximum Efficiency: Ditch the complex programming and hours spent holding a flex-pendant! We build our systems for real-world operational excellence, leaving theoretical complexity behind.
  • User-Friendly HMI: Operators of all skill levels can execute complex toolpaths without needing a PhD in software engineering.
  • Zero Downtime: Faster programming means your factory-hardened Hornet system spends more time doing what it does best: reliable, 24/7 cladding.

Driving the Circular Economy

By making the repair of high-value, complex components like crankshafts more accessible and cost-effective, we continue to champion a sustainable circular economy. Restoring worn parts to an "as-new" condition with high-performance alloys significantly reduces waste, conserves rare earth materials, and cuts costs compared to manufacturing or purchasing new parts.
