4 features of laser cleaning machines

What is laser cleaning?

Laser cleaning technology is a cleaning solution that uses a high frequency short pulse laser as the working medium. The high-energy beam of a specific wavelength is absorbed by the rust layer, paint layer, and pollution layer, forming a rapidly expanding plasma, and at the same time, a shock wave is generated, and the shock wave causes the pollutants to be broken into pieces and removed. The substrate also does not absorb energy, damage the surface of the object being cleaned, or degrade its surface finish.

Compared with ordinary chemical cleaning methods and mechanical cleaning methods, G-CUT laser cleaning has the following characteristics:

1. It is a complete dry cleaning process that does not require the use of cleaning fluids or other chemical solutions. It is a “green” cleaning process, and its cleanliness is much higher than that of chemical cleaning processes.

2. A wide range of objects to be cleaned. This method can be used to clean from large lumpy dirt (such as fingerprints, rust, oil, paint) to small fine particles (such as metal ultrafine particles, dust).

3. Laser cleaning is suitable for almost all solid substrates, and in many cases can only remove dirt without damaging the substrate.

4. Laser cleaning can easily realize automatic operation, and optical fiber can also be used to introduce the laser into the polluted area. The operator only needs to operate remotely from a distance, which is very safe and convenient. This is suitable for some special applications, such as rust removal of condenser tubes of nuclear reactors, etc. of great significance.

G-CUT LASER laser cleaning machines adopt new laser cleaning process, green cleaning technology and laser rust removal. By selecting appropriate process parameters, the substrate surface can be slightly melted while removing rust, forming a corrosion resistant layer with uniform and dense structure, so that rust removal and corrosion prevention can be achieved in one step. The equipment has been widely used in the shipbuilding industry, auto parts, rubber molds, high-end machine tools, tire molds, rails, and environmental protection industries.
