Laser cleaning is an innovative process that uses a laser beam to specifically remove dirt, rust, paint and other deposits from surfaces. The laser cleaner uses high-energy laser beams to remove these materials precisely and efficiently without damaging the base material. The laser cleaning process is explained in detail here.
Laser cleaning process with the Lasercleaner
Preparation of the surface: Firstly, the surface to be cleaned is prepared. The laser cleaner is set so that it directs the laser beam precisely onto the surface to be treated. This can be done over a large area or in fine detail, depending on the cleaning requirements.
Laser radiation and material vaporisation: The laser cleaner generates a high-energy laser beam that hits the surface. The laser heats the dirt or rust on the surface, vaporising or removing these materials. The process is very precise and can be applied to small, targeted areas without affecting the underlying material.
Removal of residues: The loosened dirt particles, rust or paint are immediately extracted by a vacuum or air flow. This leaves the surface clean and free of residue. In some cases, a special waste collector can also be used to collect the removed particles. Completion of cleaning: After cleaning, the surface is free of rust, dirt or paint. As the laser cleaning process does not involve any mechanical stress on the surface, the structure of the material remains intact. The treated parts can be used immediately without the need for additional post-treatment.
Advantages of the laser cleaner:
Precise and selective: the laser cleaner enables targeted and precise cleaning, ideal for delicate parts and sensitive materials. Gentle on the material: In contrast to abrasive cleaning processes, the base material is not damaged or removed.
Environmentally friendly: No chemicals, solvents or abrasive materials are required, making the process particularly environmentally friendly.
Speed and efficiency: The laser cleaner works quickly and effectively, minimising downtime.
Application areas of the laser cleaner
Industry: Rust removal, cleaning of machines and tools Automotive and aircraft industry: rust protection and cleaning of vehicle components Restoration: Gentle cleaning of works of art and monuments Production: cleaning of welding seams or soldered joints before further processing
With the Lasercleaner, cleaning surfaces becomes a precise, fast and environmentally friendly process that is suitable for many industrial and manual applications.
