In industrial settings, the machines and production lines are critical to operations. No matter the specific items that you’re producing at any given point, you rely on your machines to do their jobs consistently and reliably. Over time, especially after regular and robust usage, wear and tear adds up. This cumulative effect necessitates repairs and replacements that cost significant amounts of money and slow down production.
Technology we license
Much of our surface engineering technology and processes have been developed in-house through our R&D facilities. These technologies are available for licensing in a range of markets.
Services we offer
Our capabilities incorporate a unique range of advanced surface-engineering technologies and processes designed to enhance the life and performance of machinery, equipment and production-vital components.
Products we make
We develop and manufacture an exclusive range of surface- engineered products, embedded with our patent technologies that will extend component wear-life by 3 – 7 times.
Rather than wait for the inevitable, many savvy business owners seek ways to extend their machines’ lifespans. LaserBond heat treatments are easily among the most effective ways to do that for machines that encounter regular usage or extreme conditions. As we have over 25 years of experience, we can help you find the right vacuum furnace or stainless steel heat treating for your machines to ensure that you maximise their utility for your business.
How Can LaserBond Help You with Heat Treatments?
LaserBond is about treating your machines right. Our technology and procedures can help you in several ways.
- Reduced Wear and Downtime – Vacuum heat treatment is a protective procedure, so naturally it will prevent wear. It helps you by prolonging the effective life of your stainless steel machines, which provides two significant benefits. First, you won’t need to have technicians repair or replace parts as frequently, reducing your overhead expenses. Second, your machines will remain in operation without interruption for longer periods, maximising your production.
- Increased Performance – Even in situations where the wear is not immediate, extreme conditions can still reduce machine performance. Heat treatments can help stainless steel machines operate in punishing conditions at greater effectiveness and for longer times. Depending on your production conditions, we will select one of our expanding range of methods (including HVAF, arc, plasma, and vacuum furnace).
- Reduced Safety Risk and Environmental Impact – Our technology keeps your machines functioning at optimum efficiency and conditions, reducing the risk of malfunctions, which keeps your employees safe and your products coming out the way they should. Additionally, stainless steel heat treatments result in machines that work longer, and we can even reclaim and repurpose faulty components. Our work here can save tremendous amounts of energy (up to 29GJ per ton of steel), significantly reducing the carbon footprint of industrial operations. You will see a saving in operating costs while also treating the environment with responsible stewardship.
Trust LaserBond’s Track Record and Experience
We founded LaserBond in 1992 with a focus on the development and application of materials. Our mission as surface engineers is to increase operating performance and wear life of capital-intensive machinery. We have extensively studied the conditions leading to and the impact of equipment surface failures due to abrasion, erosion, corrosion, cavitation, heat and impact. Each source or combination of source produces damage that is best prevented through different methods.
As we studied the problems, we developed the solutions. Tailored surface metallurgy results in heat treatments (including both vacuum furnace and stainless steel treating) that are useful in a broad spectrum of industries. Contact us today to learn how we can help you maximise the effectiveness of your machines and keep your production running at top capacity.
