How Laser Cleaning Works
What Is Laser Cleaning?
This process is non-contact, controlled, and precise, allowing for the selective removal of unwanted layers. Laser ablation leaves the underlying substrate intact, which makes this method suitable for treating delicate components that abrasive cleaning may damage.
Laser cleaning is becoming more widely adopted as professionals in various industries discover the benefits of this technology. Laser Photonics designs laser cleaning tools in-house, offering its clients turnkey and custom-tailored solutions that replace outdated and harmful industrial cleaning processes.
Benefits of Laser Cleaning
Operator Safety
Laser cleaning requires neither physical strength nor heavy protective equipment such as breathing masks.
Precision
Laser cleaning is a high-precision method of contaminant and coating removal that is effective on delicate surfaces.
Automation
Industrial laser automation guarantees consistency in repetitive tasks, optimizes throughput, and saves time and labor.
Customization
Laser Photonics offers a wide range of laser cleaning tools and is always eager to provide custom solutions for the unique needs of its clients.
Non-Destructive
A non-contact process that relies on the energy of light, laser cleaning can selectively remove layers without damage to the base material.
No Secondary Waste
Laser cleaning produces minimal waste and only requires electric power to operate, making it environmentally friendly.

Safety Advantages
Laser cleaning is an innovative method of industrial surface processing that minimizes the risk of silicosis, a major cause of concern with sandblasting. We provide laser cleaning systems classified as Class I or Class IV according to the safety standards set by FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH).
Our laser cleaning systems sport extra security features including a manual reset, a key-locked power switch, and a remote interlock connector, which serve to prevent accidental exposure to laser radiation. In enclosed Class I configurations, we equip our systems with a fume extractor, a vacuum table, and safe viewing for safe observation of the surface treatment procedure.
