It's all go in the timber processing industry. Every day, in a non‐stop process, countless logs of up to 22 meters in length are debarked, measured to the intended format of the final product and processed into lumber. The extreme stress on the equipment and tools in the production line used for this process is something about which the company Gebr. Eigelshoven – a state‐of‐the‐art sawmill in Würselen near Aachen with more than 130 years of tradition in the trade – can tell a thing or two. When it comes to repairing heavily worn circular knife tool‐holding fixtures, their go‐to solution is laser cladding performed by Pallas, a proven specialist in the repair of highly stressed components.
