The BC06K is not a traditional
Marking Machine, but rather an economical laser head that brings "
Laser Marking Machine-level" beam quality to cladding applications. The 6 kW fiber laser, after passing through a manually adjustable collimating
Lens, can be output via a three-way, four-way, or ring nozzle, with energy uniformity of ±3%—essentially upgrading the "single-point cold operation" of a
Dot Peen Marking Machine to a contactless, spatter-free "optical cladding," while retaining the high cost-effectiveness of a
Pneumatic marking machine's one-step process, and further reducing operating costs by 30%.
Product Highlights
?
- Manually Adjustable Collimation: Like adjusting the beam expander on a marking machine, rotating the sleeve allows for continuous adjustment of the spot diameter within the Φ1.5–4 mm range, adapting to 0.3–2 mm single-pass cladding layers, without requiring additional optical spare parts.
?
- Multi-nozzle ecosystem: The three-way nozzle is suitable for narrow-walled parts, the four-way nozzle is used for high-speed powder feeding, and the annular nozzle is dedicated to 360° internal hole repair; switching between the same BC06K nozzles can be completed within ten minutes, simpler than replacing the tungsten carbide needles of a
Dot Peen Marking Machine.
?
- Dual protection + optional monitoring: Outer dust cover + inner air knife, lens life > 120 hours; coaxial CCD and lens contamination monitoring can be directly ported to the visual algorithm of the Laser Marking Machine, achieving "seeing exactly where it melts," and closed-loop temperature control reduces heat input error to ±10 °C, completely eliminating the uneven hardness caused by air pressure fluctuations in Pneumatic marking machines.
?
- Compact and economical: The entire machine weighs 1.1 kg and is 160 mm long, and can be directly mounted on the end effector of a 6 kg robot without the need for an additional balancing cylinder; the procurement cost is only 60% of that of imported cladding heads, allowing SMEs to replace high-frequency Dot Peen Marking Machine welding with "laser cladding."

Application Approach
?
- Small Parts Cladding: A 0.5 mm cobalt-based alloy is clad onto the cutting edge of an M2 high-speed steel end mill, increasing the hardness from 62 HRC to 68 HRC and doubling the lifespan. Subsequently, switching to a low-power Laser Marking Machine mode at the same workstation allows for rapid marking of a 0.2 mm deep serial number, completing both reinforcement and marking in a single setup, reducing cycle time by 50% compared to offline marking machines.
?
- Large Parts Local Repair: A 2 m long 42CrMo hydraulic rod with a 30 × 10 mm localized scratch was restored to its original dimensions using a BC06K ring nozzle with three passes of cladding. The machining allowance was only 0.2 mm. The repaired area was metallurgically bonded to the base material, without cracks or porosity, replacing the traditional three-step process of "manual welding-grinding-remachining" used by pneumatic marking machines. - Precision 3D Printing: A 0.3 mm thin-walled mesh is clad onto a 316L substrate with an interlayer temperature difference of < 15 °C and a forming accuracy of ±0.05 mm, suitable for direct use in aerospace filters. After printing, the same laser is switched back to Laser Marking Machine power to etch a DataMatrix onto the sidewall, achieving integrated "printing-marking" and eliminating the need for subsequent secondary positioning by a Dot Peen Marking Machine.
?
Overview: The BC06K combines manual collimation with a multi-nozzle setup, integrating the micron-level energy control of a Laser Marking Machine, the graphic trajectory freedom of a Marking Machine, the local enhancement depth of a Dot Peen Marking Machine, and the economy of a Pneumatic Marking Machine into a single cladding head weighing only 1.1 kg. Whether you are reinforcing a 5 mm micro gear or repairing a 2 m hydraulic rod, simply rotate the sleeve and change the nozzle to complete the "spot-powder feeding-monitoring" calibration in 2 minutes. This allows the same laser to perform both cladding and marking. With just one BC06K laser, a small cladding workshop, a large repair station, and a precision 3D printing center can be combined into a highly flexible, zero-rebound "laser cladding + laser marking" composite production line.
