Laser Power (max) | 20kW Laser |
Wire Size | 0.6-1.6mm (.023-.063) |
Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
Minimum Single Bead Thickness | 4mm |
Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 20mm |
Maximum Deposition Rate | 30lb/hr* |
Water Cooled | yes |
Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes |
Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |

* The deposition rate depends on laser power, hot wire, material type and print geometry.
ADDere’s High Power Coaxial uses a Laser Mech FiberWELD HR robot head with direct-cooled reflective optics that will minimize focus shift. It’s engineered for high-duty cycle production applications with medium to high-power, fiber-delivered lasers. The head’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the laser or cladding process to have total directional independence.

Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
Minimum Single Bead Thickness | <2mm |
Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 15mm |
Maximum Deposition Rate | 35lb/hr* |
Water Cooled | yes |
Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes** |
Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |
Melt Pool Monitoring (optional) | yes |

Laser Power (max) | 8kW Laser |
Wire Size | 0.6-1.6mm (.023-.063) |
Hot Wire Compliant | yes |
Minimum Single Bead Thickness | <1mm |
Maximum Single Bead Thickness | 15mm |
Maximum Deposition Rate | 12lb/hr* |
Water Cooled | yes |
Vary Bead Thickness on the Fly | yes** |
Camera Process Monitoring (optional) | yes |
Melt Pool Monitoring (optional) | yes |
Closed Loop Control (optional) | yes |
* The deposition rate depends on laser power, hot wire, material type and print geometry.
** Fixed laser spot, bead thickness variability limited.
ADDere’s Low Power Coaxial uses a Laser Mech FiberWELD DHc. This robot head is a compact material deposition head that is engineered for high-duty cycle production applications with low to high-power, fiber-delivered lasers. The head’s advanced optical design permits wire to be fed directly into the beam path – coaxially to the beam and right into the center of the melt pool. This allows the additive or cladding process to have total directional independence.
