Custom Solutions
Integrating advanced laser technologies and engineering expertise to create tailored solutions that drive efficiency and reliability in Oil&Gas operations
Custom Solution: Laser Welding of Centralizers
Laser welding of alloyed and high-strength steels (3-12 mm thick) is used to manufacture bow-spring, rigid, and roller casing centralizers.
High weld precision ensures proper wellbore centralization and uniform cement placement, essential for reliability. The process preserves spring elasticity, minimizes distortion, and enables efficient high-volume production.
Welds are durable under mechanical loads and downhole pressures. The technology supports various materials, including corrosion-resistant alloys for harsh environments.
Hybrid laser-arc welding
Hybrid laser-arc welding is designed for automated joining of large, thick-wall steel components, including the fabrication and repair of pipelines, tanks, and pump or compressor stations, where deep penetration, minimal passes, and high weld repeatability are essential.
It combines 8–20 kW class fiber lasers with an arc process, robotic positioning, and intelligent sensors to reliably weld thick-section steels, cutting distortion by 3–5 times and producing narrow, low-heat-input welds suited to demanding Oil&Gas service.
The process achieves speeds up to 9× faster, reduces total cycle time 4–6 times, and lowers filler wire and gas consumption by 60–80%. It ensures consistent weld quality without major new infrastructure investment, which is vital for high-pressure, safety-critical assets.
FL-CPM: Precision Laser Welding Technology for Centralizers
FL-CPM automated laser welding system produces highly reliable centralizers for extreme downhole conditions with temperatures up to 200°C and pressures reaching 700 atmospheres. Automation ensures consistent quality and minimizes impact on weld zone microstructure, which is critical for high-strength steel integrity.
