Oil & Gas crankshafts operate under extreme mechanical stress, making them prone to wear and surface damage that cause costly repairs, downtime and reduced efficiency. R3-Mydas introduces a scanner-driven repair workflow that connects inspection, digital modelling and robotic laser cladding into a more automated, precise and repeatable remanufacturing process.
Although repair is possible, current processes rely heavily on manual inspection, expert input and component-specific robot programming, making them slow, difficult to scale and inconsistent. Scrapping worn crankshafts wastes valuable materials and increases environmental impact. The challenge is to enable more automated, reliable and traceable repair processes that support circular use of high-value components.
R3-Mydas introduces a scanner-driven repair workflow that connects inspection, digital modelling and robotic laser cladding into a more automated remanufacturing process.
By digitalising and automating key steps of the crankshaft repair process, R3-Mydas improves programming efficiency, repair quality and process repeatability in the Oil & Gas demo case.
Reduction in programming time
Increase in product quality
Reduction in rework
R3-Mydas supports a circular alternative to the traditional “scrap and replace” model for worn crankshafts. Instead of discarding the component and manufacturing a new one, the Oil & Gas demo case explores how laser-cladding repair can give the crankshaft a second life.
