Service overview

Industrial laser cleaning service: Laser cleaning technology refers to the use of high-energy laser beams to irradiate the working surface to cause the dirt, rust spots or coatings on the surface to instantly evaporate or peel off, and to effectively remove the surface attachments or surface coatings of the cleaning object at high speed, thereby achieving Clean process.
Lasers, electron beams and ion beams are collectively called high-energy beams. Their common feature is that the beam carries high energy and is transmitted in space. By focusing, it can obtain irradiation with a power density of 104~1015W/cm² near the focus, making it the most intense heat source. . Laser has the characteristics of high brightness, high directionality, high monochromaticity and high coherence. Usually a nozzle is used to blow gas with a certain pressure into the cleaning area with the help of a small hole nozzle coaxial with the laser. The gas is provided by an auxiliary gas source. Its main function is to prevent the lens from being contaminated by spatter and smoke, purify the surface of the workpiece, and enhance the thermal effect between the laser and the material.

Laser cleaning compared with other cleaning

Laser cleaning does not use any chemical solvents or other consumables. It is environmentally friendly, safe to operate, and has obvious advantages.

technical background:

Traditional cleaning methods include mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning and ultrasonic cleaning. Their applications in environmental protection and high-precision requirements are greatly limited. In the 1980s, people discovered that focusing a high-energy laser beam on the contaminated parts of an object causes the irradiated material to undergo a series of complex physical and chemical processes such as vibration, melting, evaporation, and combustion, which can cause the pollutants to escape from the surface of the object. , to achieve the removal of surface contaminants, this is laser cleaning, which gradually replaces traditional cleaning processes in many fields with its many advantages.

Industry application system principles:

The pulse laser generates high-energy pulse laser and transmits it to the shaping module through the optical fiber. It is reflected by the single-axis or dual-axis scanning galvanometer and irradiates the dirt layer on the surface of the workpiece. It adheres to the rust, paint, oil, oxide scale, coating, etc. on the surface of the workpiece. The purpose of cleaning is achieved after the layer is vaporized, light-stripped, light-decomposed, and light-vibrated.
