VolgaTermolazer is a scientific and industrial engineering center that carries out work on thermal strengthening, surfacing, welding and restoration of parts of any complexity. The laser center is equipped with a universal technological complex LK-V5, designed for thermal hardening of critical products and mechanical engineering parts operating in conditions of increased wear, laser repair and restoration surfacing and laser alloying.
Laser complex LK-V5 is a development of the Russian company "TermoLaser". The design of the LK-V5 is distinguished by unique technical solutions, in particular, a system for compensating the path of the laser beam, ensuring the constancy of the beam diameter and its power, regardless of the distance of the laser head from the workpiece. The advantages of LK-V5 and the possibility of using the equipment of the Laser Center in the production process were presented by the specialists of the developer company.

We can talk about a number of technological and economic effects. The presence of the Laser Center at our industrial and experimental scientific site expands the range of services that the Engineering Center can offer to companies in the region and the country".
