Laser cleaning uses a focused laser beam to lift rust, paint, oxide and other contamination off a surface. The contamination absorbs the energy and is vaporised or knocked loose, while the metal underneath is left in place.
No blast media is used, so there is nothing to sweep up afterwards and nothing to get trapped in threads, gaps or internal passages. That makes it a good choice where abrasive blasting would be too aggressive or too messy: precise areas, parts with fine detail, or components that cannot have media getting inside them.
It is also a very controlled process. Because the beam only works where it is pointed, we can clean one area of a part, such as a weld seam or a mating face, and leave the rest exactly as it was.
Set up correctly, it removes the contamination without harming the metal underneath. That control is one of the main reasons to choose it.
There is no media, so it is cleaner and more precise, and nothing gets into gaps or passages. On big, heavily rusted areas shot blasting is usually faster.
Yes. It lifts paint, rust, oxide and other surface contamination.
Yes. Laser cleaned parts can go straight on to powder coating or Cerakote.
