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.
The laser cleaning machine is being used in everything from the
aerospace to the food manufacturing industry. It’s used for
applications such as:
• Cleaning baking trays
• Preparing metals for welding treatment
• Removing paint from a selected area
• Removing traffic film and dirt from planes, buses, etc.
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.
