Laser Cleaning & Rust Removal Machines

Laser Cleaning Machines Overview

Laser cleaning machines are a revolutionary new technology that uses a focused beam of light to remove dirt, rust, and other contaminants from a wide range of surfaces. These machines are non-contact, which means they do not physically touch the surface being cleaned, reducing the risk of damage or wear. They are also eco-friendly, using no chemicals or abrasives, making them a smart choice for industrial and commercial applications such as automotive, electronics, and medical device manufacturing. Our collection of laser cleaning machines are highly efficient, cost-effective and versatile. They can be used on metal, plastic, glass, and ceramics, quickly and efficiently removing contaminants, saving time and labor compared to traditional cleaning methods

What is laser cleaning?

Laser cleaning refers to surface cleaning using a fiber optic laser. It is based on the same fiber optic laser sources used in laser metal cutters, laser markers, and engravers. Thus, a laser-cleaning machine is suitable for removing rust from metal surfaces.

The technical parameters of laser cleaning machines guarantee excellent results. When choosing equipment, consider your tasks and budget.

A galvanometric scanner is an essential component of laser cleaning equipment. Usually, it's a handheld gun that an operator holds with one or two hands, pointing it to the surface. The scanner helps focus the laser beam on the material surface, widen the laser beam, and give the light spot the desired shape.

A system of mirrors inside the scanner collects the rays of light and distributes them over the surface of the treated product. This technology allows you to clean relief surfaces and other complex shapes.

The laser-cleaning machine comes with an air or water cooling system. It is necessary to prevent a laser source and a scanner (if it is a water-cooled type) from overheating during operation.

Advantages of Laser Cleaning

The main advantage of laser cleaning is that it is non-contact. The nozzle does not touch the treated surface. Thus, the processed material is not damaged. The laser beam evaporates contaminants only.

The main difference between laser and mechanical cleaning is non-contact treatment. Traditional cleaning methods can damage the product by sandblasting media or chemical solvents.

Let us specify the advantages of laser cleaning:

• No contact with the processed material;

• Waste-free operation, compared to sandblasting that loses abrasive media during the process;

• Low operating costs due to minimal consumables and almost no maintenance.

• Environment-friendly and safe. Laser cleaning doesn't produce any toxins or dangerous substances;

• Quiet operation. The laser does not create noise;

• It can clean various materials and combinations of different materials.

• User-friendly and easy-to-use interface. The system comes with preset parameters.

• High productivity operation thanks to high speed and excellent cleaning quality.

What materials laser can clean?

The main application of laser cleaning equipment is to remove contaminants from metal surfaces. This method removes rust, varnish, paint, organic substances, oils, soot, and other pollutants. The technology is also successfully used to clean plastic, stone, ceramic, and concrete.

With a laser-cleaning machine, you can process:

• Small items: terminal, connectors, boards, wires, anilox. The laser is capable of removing an insulative layer up to 1 mm;

• precious items: jewelry, precious stones, coins, archaeological artifacts; 

• automobile parts: engines, body;

• large parts of various equipment, such as planes, rockets, military equipment, oil production, and refinery equipment.

How Much is a Laser Cleaning Machine?

The price for a laser cleaning machine depends on the machine's functionality, model, and components. The price for a laser cleaning machine is $13,000-$18,000 on our website.
