It can remove rust, oil, paint, and other substances without damaging the base material.
**What is Laser Cleaning?**
Laser cleaning is a new cleaning method that involves irradiating a target object with laser light, utilizing the evaporation of contaminants and shock pressure to detach them from the material. By directing the laser at the area to be cleaned, the contaminants are evaporated through energy absorption, while simultaneously, plasma is rapidly generated on the irradiated surface, causing the target contaminants to be removed from the base material due to the shockwave and thermal expansion pressure.
**Advantages of Laser Cleaners**
1. **Almost Zero Damage to Materials**
As a non-contact cleaning method, it allows for the removal of contaminants with very minimal damage to the base material. There is no concern about scratches or dents on the surface.
2. **Almost No Running Costs**
Since there are hardly any consumable replacements needed, the running costs are primarily just electricity. Additionally, there is minimal maintenance required for the laser head, reducing maintenance burdens.
3. **Precision Application**
There is no need for preliminary processes such as masking, allowing for cleaning to be performed only on the desired areas, thereby improving productivity.
4. **No Chemicals Required, Minimal Waste Generation**
No chemicals or consumables are needed during the cleaning process. Furthermore, the generation of waste is very minimal, making it an environmentally friendly technology.
