Laser metal cleaning
Laser metal cleaning is a technology for removing contaminants of all kinds from surfaces. The main advantages of the process and the result are considerable reliability, safety and high efficiency of the service.
The essence of laser metal cleaning technology
After the metal is placed, it is subjected to short pulses of considerable power – up to 100 kW for one billionth of a second. The energy is delivered by the unit strictly to the surface layer of contamination – this is monitored by an automatic focusing system.
The enormous concentration of energy leads to instantaneous heating of the substance and its disintegration into individual molecules and atoms. The particles change from a solid to a gaseous state and are removed by a ventilation system.
The laser method is used until the actual contamination is completely removed or the desired depth of the base metal is obtained. Laser metal cleaning process is faster for rust and organics (various rubber and polymer coatings, varnishes, paints and insulation).
The process is designed to remove layers of contaminants in any quantity. The difference of the method from other options is that there is no need for an external auxiliary substance (water, degreasers and washing agents are not needed), which positively affects both the environment and the operator of the equipment.
The laser method of cleaning is appropriate for these areas:
Removal of aged paint, oil films, polyamides, oxides, ordinary dust and soot (with laser metal cleaning you can remove almost any extraneous coating)
Processing of molds for casting, food, chemical and engineering industries
Removal of fat films (including preparing for welding)
Deburring of welded and clad seams
Neutralization of metal products from radioactive pollution
Removing insulating materials from valuable products and cable products
Allowed to clean objects made of polymers and even various rubbers

Other laser metal processing services
Laser pipe cutting
The technology allows straight and curved cutting of closed profiles of different cross-sections – in some cases this is not possible using other methods.
Laser metal welding
Very accurate geometrically and strong mechanically welds that have a pleasant appearance and often do not need post-processing.
Laser sheet metal cutting
The technology provides a huge number of options for finished products: from blanks with simple shapes to cutouts of complex openings.
Laser color metal engraving
Universal and reliable technology for engraving information on metal surfaces: from decorating lighter cases to creating name plates for the aerospace industry.
Advantages of laser metal cleaning
The technology is characterized by the absence of mechanical and chemical effects on the metal, which preserves its properties and structure. Fragile products and thin metal will remain intact after the laser. Only the laser beam touches the metal – without chemicals, sand or even dry ice.
Accuracy and full control over the beam and the amount of energy applied ensure that geometry is maintained and machining is quick. The price of the service is pleasant, our company has already seen the significant efficiency of laser cleaning equipment, relatively low energy consumption and a high level of result.
Our customers are suggested to consider this service for their products and blanks – we guarantee a noticeable and durable result at an affordable price. The whole of Europe can already appreciate this technology.
