How Laser Cleaning Works

What is Laser Cleaning?

what-is-laser-cleaning-laser-rust-remover-diagram
The energy of a focused laser beam is used to ablate – break molecular bonds and vaporize – unwanted material, be it contaminants or coatings on a surface. The technology can effectively remove corrosion, residue, paint, and other substances without damaging the underlying substrate.

This process is non-contact, controlled, and precise, allowing for the selective removal of unwanted layers.

Laser cleaning is becoming more widely adopted in various industries due to its precision, efficiency, eco-friendliness, and the minimal damage it causes to the surface being cleaned.

Benefits of Laser Cleaning

Operator Safety

Laser cleaning eliminates the need for hazardous consumables that harm the health of operator.

Precision

Laser cleaning is precise and accurate, allowing for the effective treatment of targeted surfaces.

Automation

The technology can be automated, further enhancing efficiency while reducing the need for manual labor.

Customization

Laser cleaning technology can be tailored to fit the unique needs of operators regardless of the industry or application.

Non-Destructive

The process is non-contact, preventing physical damage to worked-on 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 that are certified by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH). Several of our cutting-edge products meet the full requirements for a stand-alone laser system as defined by 21 CFR 1040.10 under the Radiation Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968.

Our laser cleaning systems sport extra security features including a manual reset, a key-locked laser power switch, and a remote interlock connector, which serve to prevent accidental exposure to laser radiation. Other features include an exhaust outlet for fume extraction and a Class I viewing port in enclosed laser systems for easy installation and safe observation of the cleaning process.
