While there are many different types of lasers, they generally work in the same way when it comes to cleaning, although output power, pulse parameters, and wavelength can vary dramatically. The laser cleaning process works by having a laser pulse directed at the surface of a material, which blasts this layer off. The contaminants that you are trying to remove are mostly vaporised, leaving very little waste material behind. Any waste that is left is in the form of particle dust, and is easily vacuumed away with “H” class machines.
By adjusting the laser output energy, you can remove virtually anything from a surface including non-organic materials. By controlling the energy levels, various surface contaminants can be removed (e.g., organics, mineral oxides or ceramics) with no damage to the underlying substrate.It is also both a non-contact, and non-abrasive process.Undertaking surface preparation treatment for applications involving adhesive bonding or coating. Some materials must be cleaned before they can undergo certain processes, such as welding or brazing as contaminants will prevent successful completion of these tasks.
