Laser Cleaning

Vaporize thin layers of unwanted coatings from metal, such as rust, deteriorating paint, thin films and contaminates with the power of hot light.

Thin Layer Ablation

Laser energy is focused onto the part and steered through the cleaning area using a galvanometer. The high energy density beam reacts with the surface to remove the unwanted coating or layer.

Laser cleaning is important to many industries, including aerospace, automotive, medical—and more. Applications include:
• Rust removal
• Mold cleaning
• Paint stripping
• Baking plate cleaning
• Heat seal die cleaning
• Art or antique restoration

From Galvanized Steel to Coating Synthetics, We Can Clean It.

Advantages of Laser Cleaning

  • Precise cleaning areas. Due to the laser’s small spot size, you can precisely control cleaning locations.
  • Non-contact. Lasers make no mechanical contact with parts, which can cause unnecessary wear.
  • No consumables. Laser cleaning eliminates chemicals and replacement cleaning tools.
  • Flexible integration. Laser cleaning systems work as standalone machines, or you can integrate them into production lines.
