1. Introduction
Laser cleaning is one of the more modern versions of the cleaning process and has rapidly replaced more traditional methods such as dry-ice blasting or media blasting due to the numerous benefits that it provides.
There are two methods of laser glue removal: one is the high temperature from laser will burn and gasify the glue coating immediately; the second is the rubber particals on aluminum plate surface will splash after the rubber deeper layer getting thermal vibration and thermal shock of laser pulse.
Laser cleaning machine offers these benefits as it works in a significantly different way to the processes that have preceded it. Furthermore, using a fiber laser as the medium also works in a much different way to other types of cleaning methods. We have explored this in more detail below and explained why laser-based cleaning is the most efficient, safe and cost-effective cleaning solution on the market.
The temperature will increase when the laser reflect on the surface of the oxide coating, the high temperature make the coating burned and gasified immediately.
Technical Advantages
- Clean or remove the surface paint layer quickly and smoothly.
- Accurate cleaning and paint removal effects;
- No damage to the substrate;
- Low cost;
- No need to sand grit or chemical;
- The equipment does not need to be set up.

3. Features
Lower Power Air Cooling Laser Cleaner is particularly suitable for gentle cleaning, pretreatment of some adhesives or high-precision processing of parts. They are maintenance-free and consist of a basic unit, optical fiber and processing head. The basic unit includes a controller, a cooling unit and a beam source. The energy requirement is extremely low. In addition, no other medium is required to process the workpiece. It has low noise, large working distance, and can be easily integrated into the production line.
