Imaging Cameras & Sensors – Infrared Camera
Advanced Laser Power Control System for Cladding and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)
Next-Generation Real-Time Laser Power Control for High-Temperature Industrial Applications
CLAMIR stands for Closed-Loop Active Monitoring of InfraRed, a state-of-the-art system that actively monitors the melt pool geometry in real time using an integrated MWIR infrared camera. It uses this feedback to dynamically adjust laser power output, ensuring consistent energy delivery and surface integrity throughout the cladding or deposition process.
United Spectrum Instruments is proud to be the official distributor of CLAMIR in India, offering a world-class closed-loop laser power control system for high-precision industrial processes, including laser cladding, laser metal deposition (LMD), and direct energy deposition (DED). Developed by New Infrared Technologies S.L. (Spain), CLAMIR is designed to optimise laser energy application, ensure coating uniformity, minimise material waste, and improve productivity, especially in mission-critical manufacturing sectors.
Understanding CLAMIR: Advanced Laser Power Control System for Cladding and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)
The CLAMIR Advanced Laser Power Control System is designed for real-time monitoring and closed-loop control of laser processes such as cladding and Laser Metal Deposition (LMD). By measuring the melt pool temperature with infrared imaging and automatically adjusting laser power, it ensures process stability, repeatability, and improved coating quality. Compact and robust, CLAMIR integrates seamlessly with industrial laser systems to prevent defects, reduce waste, and optimise energy usage. It is a vital tool for industries requiring precision, efficiency, and reliability in laser-based manufacturing and repair operations.
