At Hornet Laser Cladding, innovation never stands still. Our latest development, The Hive™, is a compact, laser-safe cladding system that’s built to meet the fast-paced demands of modern manufacturing.
It’s smart, scalable, and ready to deliver high-performance results.
Engineered for production environments that demand reliability and flexibility, The Hive™ packs all the performance of a high-end laser cladding system into a space-efficient, easy-to-install unit.
It’s available in two sizes and can be configured with either Cartesian or robotic control, depending on your production needs.
All the cladding options you need
The Hive™ can be configured to either of the following processes:
- Conventional laser cladding
- EHLA (Extreme High-Speed Laser Cladding)
- Internal cladding
The Hive™ can be equipped with a choice of either OD or ID optics:
- OD Processing Optic: Featuring a multi-jet powder nozzle (for conventional or EHLA use), crash detection, and a CMOS camera for process monitoring.
- ID Processing Optic (The Stinger): A robust, water-cooled internal cladding head capable of operating inside blind bores down to 70 mm in diameter,
Built for speed and scale
One of the key goals behind The Hive™ was to make scaling production easier, especially across multiple facilities. With its modular design, The Hive™ is quick to install and just as easy to relocate. It’s also built with standardized process validation in mind, making it ideal for companies that want to ensure consistent quality across global sites.
Who is it for?
The Hive™ is ideal for companies working with:
- Small to medium-sized parts
- Medium to high production volumes
- Multi-site or international operations
if your business relies on high-precision surface technology, The Hive™ has the versatility and power to keep you ahead.
