Lasers can provide high-speed cleaning and surface preparation for virtually any industry. This low-maintenance, easily automated process can be used to remove oil and grease, strip paint or coatings, or modify surface texture, such as increasing roughness to improve adhesion.
- No abrasive materials are used and there are no contaminant separation and disposal issues.
- No solvents used – chemical free and environmentally friendly process
- Spatially selective – clean only the areas needed, saving time and cost by ignoring unimportant areas
- Non-contact process with no loss of quality
- Easily automated process that can reduce operating costs by eliminating labor while making results more consistent
Why are more and more manufacturers using laser cleaning for material preparation?
Laser cleaning offers several advantages over traditional methods. It does not involve solvents and there is no abrasive material to handle and dispose of. Compared to other less detailed, often manual processes, laser cleaning is controlled, can be applied to only specific areas of the part, can be easily automated to maximize productivity, and provides the guaranteed repeatability required by an increasing number of quality standards.
1.Eliminate chemical solvents
Laser cleaning eliminates the handling and disposal of hazardous chemical solvents. The reduced cost of consumable solvents and the expensive post-treatment and disposal requirements for these chemicals are not a factor in laser cleaning, making it the preferred and lowest cost solution in terms of the environment.
2.Controlled, non-destructive process
Laser cleaning offers a higher level of control than any competing process. The highly focusable and steerable laser beam can be precisely directed as needed, while the sensitive and repeatable power settings provide only the amount of energy required.The IPG fiber laser range includes pulse models specifically designed to produce optimal cleaning results with minimal heat generation.
3.Reduced scrap
Laser cleaning is a non-contact process that removes only the unwanted material. Because no abrasives or minor components are involved, laser cleaning produces less types and quantities of scrap than any other cleaning process. Less scrap means lower process costs.
