About

About RAMLAB

MaxQ combines a welding robot or cobot with three-dimensional scanning, path generation and process monitoring for wire-arc additive manufacturing and repair. The system scans the starting geometry, generates deposition or welding paths and measures each completed layer. Deviations can be corrected in the next path before they accumulate through the full build.

Additional sensors monitor arc behaviour, geometry and interpass temperature and map anomalies back to the robot position. Operators configure the job through a browser-based environment and receive a production record through integrated reporting tools. Compact MaxQ Cobot systems support repair and smaller builds, while larger robot configurations produce parts extending to several metres.

  • 2017-11-30 - Demonstration - RAMLAB unveils class-approved WAAMpeller after tugboat trials

    RAMLAB fabricated the triple-blade nickel-aluminium-bronze propeller with wire arc additive manufacturing and Autodesk PowerMill software. Damen tested the second WAAMpeller on a Stan Tug 1606 in bollard-pull, crash-stop and speed trials under Bureau Veritas oversight. The printed propeller matched the behaviour of a conventional cast propeller during the tests, including the full-ahead to full-reverse crash-stop load case.
