Solution

6-DOF industrial robot with powder-feed laser cladding head for flexibility and precision
HedraCAM OLP offline programming: batch import drill pipe models, intelligent path planning
Feature point alignment: three-point alignment algorithm achieves micron-level positioning accuracy
Multi-layer multi-pass strategy: layered path planning based on wear-resistant layer thickness requirements
Edge treatment optimization: reduced power and speed at edges to prevent burning and collapse
Offline simulation verification: collision detection, singularity check, posture limit warnings
Supports KUKA, ABB, FANUC and other major robot brands post-processing code output

Results

Cladding layer hardness HRC 45-55, wear resistance superior to new drill pipe
Drill pipe life extended 3-5x, significantly reducing per-well operation costs
Offline programming replaces manual teaching, commissioning time reduced by 60%+
Coating free of pores and cracks, bond strength meets API standards
Supports full lifecycle management of drill pipes with repeatable remanufacturing

HedraCAM OLP offline programming system achieved precision laser cladding on drill pipe screw wear-resistant layers, with remanufactured drill pipe service life exceeding new products and significantly reducing per-well operation costs.
