Why laser cleaning?

Almost all objects and machinery have an expiration date. Intensive use of industrial equipment typically shortens its life, and ornaments on buildings, tombstones and bridge sections also lose their luster from exposure to the elements. In addition, in many industries (especially where welding and adhesive work is involved) there is a need for thoroughly clean surfaces to ensure fixtures that will last for years.

There are several methods for industrial cleaning, such as chemical cleaning or sandblasting. However, these are contaminating, and in addition to the contaminant, can damage the base material.

How does laser cleaning work?

Laser cleaning uses a bundled beam of light to clean surfaces of such things as rust, oil or dirt. It does not damage the surface itself, nor does it release dirt. It is also very environmentally friendly and safe for those involved because no chemicals are used. This is in contrast to the still popular chemical cleaning of surfaces.

The laser beam works in several pulses to break down the molecular bonds between the substrate (e.g. metal or glass) and the corrosion, leaving a clean surface.

Applications

The applications of laser cleaning are broad, but the cleaning method is particularly suitable for industrial applications. It can replace sandblasting and dry ice cleaning in almost all industries where abrasive blasting is used, with the exception of highly flammable areas, where dry ice cleaning offers a solution.

Thanks to its high accuracy, it is possible to remove corrosion in the smallest corners.
Of course, it is also possible to use laser cleaning for smaller issues. For example, it is ideal for quickly and efficiently removing rust from metal surfaces, such as a barbecue, for example.
