High-tech Laser Technology Center was opened in Omsk

The Laser Technology Center (LTC LLC) furnished with advanced equipment for the laser hardening of steels and alloys was opened on October 1. The technology mastered by the Center enables the heat treatment of components to extend their useful life by 2-3 times. The GC «Titan» is a strategic partner of the new enterprise.

Igor Lukyanov, Deputy Minister of Industry, Communications, Digital and Technical Development of Omsk region, representatives of the JSC «Omsktransmash», JSC «Gazpromneft-ONPZ», JSC «STC Cryogenic technique», «Poliom», Ltd and enterprises of the Group of Companies «Titan» took place in the LTC opening ceremony.

«The Government of the region supports the creation of the Center and introduction of innovative technologies as a driver enabling to boost the processes of industrial production of enterprises in Omsk region and to cut their financial expenses. I'm exceptionally pleased to note that this highly efficient complex is fully Russian-made and unique in the region», — outlined Igor Lukyanov.

The LTC will offer services such as laser treatment of components to companies and machine-building enterprises of military-industrial complex in Omsk region as well as engineering services on implementation of the technological process into production cycles. The project has been implemented under strategic partnership between ThermoLaser LLC and Group of Companies «Titan».

«The laser station of Omsk LTC can deal with the most complex geometric objects and components, — reported Dmitry Chukhlantsev General Director of ThermoLaser LLC. — Machine-building, astronautic, metallurgical, oilfield service and other enterprises are among our customers and partners today. In particular, Rostec State Corporation — the largest machine building company of the country — is one of our key partners. We solve the problems which are crucial for industrial enterprises».

The Laser Technology Center is a brand new and unique enterprise for Omsk region. It is equipped with the laser beam machine (LK-5B), which is one and sole machine in the region. The modern equipment is intended for the thermal strengthening of critical products and machine building components operating in conditions of excessive wear. Laser quenching of products can increase their service life two- or threefold, as well as enhance corrosion and heat resistance properties. This method helps save time and resources. Besides, laser quenching is safe and eco-friendly way of treatment since there are no components harmful for humans in technological cycle.

The opening ceremony of Omsk LTC included the demonstration of operational capability of the laser beam machine (LK-5B) and a research-and-engineering workshop for clients and partners of the Center.

The JSC «Omsktransmash» is one of the main potential clients of Omsk LTC. Representatives of this company expressed the most interest in technology brought from the city of Vladimir. Representatives of the JSC «STC Cryogenic Technique» and «Titan-Agro» Ltd were also positive about perspectives of cooperation with the Center.

For reference:

Laser beam machines for the thermal hardening of steels were developed in Russia. They have been manufactured by the LLC «ThermoLaser» (the city of Vladimir) since 2015. This is the only enterprise in the country implementing such projects. «ThermoLaser» is a resident of the technopark «Skolkovo», having 4 patents for technologies and devices used for the production of LK-5B. Today the laser beam machines from Vladimir are purchased for industrial sites of Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Yekaterinburg, Vladimir and Omsk. Two machines were purchased for the needs of «Roskosmos».
