Key Features of Nikon Repair Solution
This solution enables precise and automated repair of metal parts, tailored to the shape of damaged or worn-out areas.
Seamless Scanning and Tool Path Generation
With the seamless integration of the metal 3D printer Lasermeister LM300A and the 3D scanner Lasermeister SB100, there is no need for manual tool path generation or positioning of the workpiece. It can be operated without any special skills or expertise.
Repair tailored to individual geometries
The Lasermeister SB100 accurately scans the workpiece and automatically generates the 3D tool path data for damaged or worn-out parts by comparing the actual shape with the ideal model (CAD data).
High-precision Processing
LM300A performs high-precision processing by leveraging advanced optical and precision control technology developed across decades of Nikon semiconductor lithography systems. In the case of turbine blade repair for example, the LM300A can process within the accuracy of +0mm to maximum +0.5mm difference for the XY-axis direction and +0.5 mm to maximum +1.5 mm difference for the Z-axis direction, achieving ultra-high precision. In addition, real-time laser power control by the melt pool feedback system delivers smooth surface finishing and precise processing of parts, ultimately achieving crack-less repair with optimal quality and stability.
Application Examples
The traditional turbine blade repair process involves cutting and scraping the worn area for each blade, which takes time and generates waste. The blade is then manually welded for repair and grinding is performed to restore the part to its ideal shape. This rigorous repair process introduces many challenges including difficulties in securing highly skilled welders, which can lead to quality consistency issues and long lead times.
Nikon's automated repair solution contributes to enhancing the quality and productivity of precision repair processes.

Turbine Blade Repair
Nikon’s repair solution can automate up to 65%* of the conventional welding process (eliminating the need for manual welding) and minimize post processing requirements to reduce lead times.
Mold Repair
High-quality repairs without cracks are possible even for mold materials that require high hardness.
Nikon will provide great value to other new repair applications with innovate and develop expanded capabilities.
