Laser Cleaning Applications

Surface pre-treatment

Lasers are used to remove surface contaminants to ensure ideal adhesion during coating and bonding operations.

Mold cleaning & degreasing

A cost-effective alternative to traditional mold cleaning, laser cleaning removes residues without producing chemical or abrasive waste.

Pre- & post-weld cleaning

One of the most common uses of laser cleaning in advanced applications, laser cleaning is used to pre-treat surfaces prior to precision welding and to clean finished weld seams.

Restoration & conservation

Able to address both stone and metal surfaces, laser cleaning is a uniquely gentle and efficient technique for restoration and conservation.

Paint removal & decoating

Whether for rework or to eliminate time-consuming surface masking, laser cleaning quickly and efficiently removes most paints and coatings.

Structuring

The precision of laser processing enables highly controlled surface structuring to create virtually and surface geometries and roughnesses.

Benefits of Laser Cleaning

Highly selective

Lasers are extremely precise and can be fired with virtually perfect accuracy. As a result, lasers only clean the desired area regardless of size or shape.

High speed

Laser cleaning is a high-speed process that can clean up to hundreds of square inches of material per second, depending on the application.

Easy to integrate

Laser cleaning is easier to automate and integrate into production lines than traditional methods like abrasive blasting and chemical baths.

Safe

Laser cleaning is quiet and does not rely on caustic chemicals. For safe operation, handheld devices require simple PPE and enclosed systems require just fume extraction.

Efficient & sustainable

Fiber lasers are a high energy efficient tool. Additionally, laser cleaning virtually eliminates traditional cleaning waste byproducts.

Non-contact

By using remotely delivered light instead of physical cleaning media, laser cleaning tools degrade slowly and require minimal maintenance.
