Laser cleaning is an excellent and efficient way of removing rust and oxide layers from the surface of metals. The laser of high energy concentration interacts with certain substances. The energy generated by the conversion exceeds the bonding energy between the purified material and the substrate through light peeling, evaporation, release, plasma effect, vibration, etc.
In high-end manufacturing industries, surface dirt, grease, dust, rust, and other contaminants need to be removed to ensure the quality of industrial products during electroplating, phosphate, spraying, welding, and assembly.
With the high surface cleaning requirements of the product, laser cleaning technology has come into existence. Laser rust removal machine is considered the most reliable and effective surface treatment technology because of its cleaning properties such as no force, no chemical reaction, no thermal effect, and suitable for various materials.
How does a laser rust removal machine works?
Industrial laser cleaning – or ablation – removes unwanted material from a solid surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. By absorbing the laser beam’s energy, the target material heats up very quickly, making it evaporate or sublime. The bottom surface does not absorb any energy, so it remains untouched.
The amount of material removed by a single laser pulse can be controlled with extreme precision by using the laser flux, wavelength, and pulse length. Making laser cleaning equally useful for quick and deep rust removal, such as removing a thin layer of pigment without harming the bottom coat.
Why should you use a laser rust removal machine?
1. There is no usable and green technology
The laser rust removal machine eliminates the complementary processes that clean rust with the necessary consumables and chemicals. It is the only way that concedes with the rules of environmental protection. These laser rust removal machines consume very little energy.
Laser rust removal produces minimal amounts of dust and residue. It can be washed immediately with a dust extraction method (filtration unit with fume extraction system) which we offer and pre-configure if you need.
2. Eliminate manual labor
It is not sustainable to invest many manual workers in cleaning work. It is ineffective and can be done more efficiently with robotics. Reduce manual work through laser cleaning, a quick and ultimately semi-automatic technology.
You can cooperate with us and use our system integrator for a suitable solution for your factory.
3. Minimize maintenance work
Those who use abrasive blasting (such as sandblasting) face maintenance problems: the device has many limitations. The presence of sand, the condition of the nozzle, or its removal, requires constant inspection and service of the blasting machine.
The laser rust removal process is a non-contact method that cleans rust and lessens maintenance expenses.
4. Make a safe and secure workplace
Rust cleaning lasers in industrial environments are exceptionally safe when combined with a dust removal device (fume removal unit) and a Class-1 protective laser enclosure.
Operators next to laser marking devices do not require personal protective devices to protect the respiratory system, hearing, or body during operation. In comparison, they no longer treat dangerous products.
Conclusion
Laser cleaning or laser rust removal is a new application technology closest to the international frontier in terms of laser application technology. There is a tremendous void between households and foreign countries regarding practical application. Many reasons cause it. The tools also limit laser cleaning efficiency and precision by expanding the green laser cleaning mechanism and technology.
