Laser cleaning is a more modern one in the cleaning process, and due to the numerous advantages it offers, it quickly replaces traditional methods such as dry ice blasting or medium blasting.
It provides this convenience because it works very different from previous processes.Furthermore, the use of fiber lasers as a medium works very different from other types of cleaning methods.We explore this in more detail below, and explain why laser cleaning is the most effective, safe, and cost-effective cleaning solution on the market.
How does the laser cleaning work?
The purpose of this process is simple: to clean the surface of the material (such as metal).
This is done for many reasons, such as making molds or preparing surface treatments.Surfaces during production can easily produce contaminants including carbon, rust and rubber, and laser cleaning provides an efficient and environmentally friendly way to remove them.
So how does the process actually work?
The laser beam produces a pulse on the surface of the material that irradiates and shocks the layer of material until the desired cleaning depth is reached.
The output power and wavelength of the pulse can be controlled, and when it comes to the high precision of the cleaning material surface, the user has the purpose of not damaging the substrate.
How does the laser cleaning work?
contaminants on the surface of the material, such as rubber or paint, absorb the beam as it hits its surface.The energy of the beam quickly hits the material.
Why is this process better than the traditional method?
A key question we are often asked is ” How does laser cleaning work differently from other, more traditional methods?”.Laser helps to solve some key issues.
First, the traditional approach is contact processes, which means that they are wear, corrosive and cause damage to the material they are working on.Media blasting, for example, works essentially like a pressure washer, but uses pressurized air to fry the material until clean.It can complete the task, but it usually affects the material that you don’t want to damage!
On the other hand, laser cleaning is non-contact and non-abrasive and therefore only radiates the material you want to remove.
The laser washer can accurately control the cleaning area and depth, which means you can reach the depth you need.Also, you can illuminate the entire surface layer of a material, or more locally, such as the paint finish, but not the primer below.It is difficult to enjoy such a high level of control if traditional cleaning techniques are used.
A major advantage of the way laser cleaning works is that there is not much waste during the cleaning; basically evaporation rather than as waste.Most of the remaining waste is dust particles, which are easily collected and removed by the user.
Traditional processes have left behind large amounts of waste that must be removed.Not only is this expensive in terms of time efficiency, but most waste is dangerous, and users are often required to wear protective gear.This danger to worker safety has been eliminated by lasers.
Therefore, the laser cleaning process differs from traditional methods in that:
1. This is a safer process
2, higher efficiency
3. It provides users with higher accuracy and control level.
4. Pay more attention to higher-quality end results
