Abstract: A repair system for in-situ repair of a machine. The repair system includes a laser unit configured to emit a laser beam, a galvanometer optically coupled to the laser unit and configured to adjust the laser beam received from the laser unit, a source of a flexible metallic mesh, a delivery unit configured to receive the flexible metallic mesh from the source of the flexible metallic mesh, and a controller communicably coupled to the laser unit, the galvanometer, and the delivery unit. The controller is configured to control the delivery unit to deposit the flexible metallic mesh on a surface of the machine. The controller is further configured to control the laser unit to emit the laser beam and to control the galvanometer to adjust the laser beam in order to weld the flexible metallic mesh to the surface of the machine, thereby forming a repair patch.

Abstract: A method of laser processing a component within an assembled apparatus using a boroscope, which includes a working head having first and second ends. A first optical fibre extends through the boroscope to a position between the first and second ends. A second optical fibre extends through the boroscope to the second end. A laser optical fibre extends through the boroscope. At least one lens is arranged between the first and second ends of the working head and a mirror is gimballed to the second end. The laser optical fibre directs laser light transmitted through the laser optical fibre onto the lens and then onto the mirror. A first LED is arranged at a position between the first and second ends of the working head and a second LED is arranged at the second end and an actuator device adjust the position of the mirror.
