The Modulo 400 machine is a compact yet versatile DED additive manufacturing machine that can be equipped with two nozzles of different sizes and power. Opt for the 24Vx nozzle to make the massive sections of your parts, then automatically change during production to the 10Vx nozzle to make parts that require precision.
- The 10Vx deposition nozzle (standard) can deposit weld beads 0.8 to 1.2 mm wide, with an accuracy of 0.1 mm.
- The 24Vx deposition nozzle (optional) can deposit weld beads 1.8 to 2.2 mm wide, with an accuracy of 0.2 mm.
- Nozzle change without interrupting production.
Many devices available as standard or optional make the Modulo 400 DED Machine a concentrate of technology. To name only a few: vibration powder dispenser for stability and reliability in the powder supply of the deposition nozzle, and automatic deposition nozzle change system, including a probe for significant productivity gains and adaptive repair applications.
