110/220V Single Phase Laser Cleaning Machine No Consumables Rust Removal Machine
How does the laser cleaning process work?
The laser cleaning process works by having a laser beam, (which using one of our products would be a fiber laser), pulsed at the surface layer of the metal. This metal may have contaminants on it such as mold, paint or rust, and the idea is to clear the surface through this process. This may be out of necessity for the next steps in the manufacturing process, or simply to make the metal more aesthetically pleasing.
The fiber laser beam, which can have both its power, duration, and wavelength controlled, is absorbed by the surface contaminants until they are vaporized, leaving the clean metal beneath. Any substrates which aren’t vaporized will be leftover as particle dust, which can be easily removed by the user.
There will be no thermal, mechanical or chemical strain or damage to your metal, leaving you with a high-quality finish.
Benefits of using fiber lasers to clean the metals
A fiber laser will offer you a great deal of control, and so the ablation depth that you wish to reach can be achieved with a high degree of accuracy. Given this high degree of accuracy, fiber lasers are the perfect process for working with micro applications, which has become more and more of a necessity in the modern climate of parts and pieces getting ever smaller.
It is also non-contact, and therefore non-abrasive, process, and so no unnecessary or unwanted damage will be caused to your metal. This is something that more traditional cleaning methods, such as media blasting, have struggled with.
The fiber lasers are highly efficient, enjoying much longer operational lives than other cleaning methods, and even other laser methods. And, with no maintenance times thanks to our ‘Fit & Forget’ technology, you are left with an efficient and cost-effective metal cleaning solution.
A demonstration of the laser cleaning of metal
If you would like to see the laser cleaning of metal using a fiber laser in action, then please refer to the two videos below, taken from our YouTube channel:
These will both give you a great visual demonstration of just how effective the laser cleaning process can be, especially when it is completed using a fiber laser.
