Laser Cleaning Machine

What is Laser Cleaning Machine

 

 

Laser cleaning machine is a manufacturing process that uses laser technology to remove contaminants or unwanted materials from the solid surface of an object. It is a non-contact method that involves directing a laser beam from the laser head onto the surface, which causes the contaminants to evaporate or sublimate, leaving behind a clean surface.The focused laser beam used in this process is highly focused and intense, allowing it to efficiently remove dirt, rust, paint, grease, or other unwanted substances without damaging the underlying material. The laser energy interacts with the contaminants, causing them to absorb the laser light and heat up rapidly, leading to their removal.

 

Advantages of Laser Cleaning Machine

What are the Different Types of Laser Cleaning Machines

Many different types of laser cleaning systems are available to suit various requirements. Let us discuss these types of laser cleaning machines one by one:

1

Handheld laser cleaner

A handheld laser cleaner is a small device that can be held and operated manually. The laser delivery device is connected to a control unit. The control unit is a little bulky but still portable and manageable.

2

Conveyor laser cleaner

A conveyor laser cleaning machine has a laser device mounted on conveyors. The workpiece automatically feeds to the laser and the entire surface can undergo scanning and cleaning inside the laser compartment. These machines fit well into the assembly production line where products move on conveyors. A common example is the automotive industry.

3

Robotic laser cleaner

Robotic laser cleaner has beam delivery systems mounted on the arms of robots. Another option is to use computer numerical control (cnc) to control the movement of the laser around the part.

4

Enclosed laser system

Enclosed laser system features an enclosure where the part is confined for laser cleaning. The operator cannot access the part during the cleaning operation. This increases the safety of the workforce in the process.

 

Industrial Applications of Laser Cleaners

 

Laser cleaning technology is widely in use in a number of different industries. Initially, it was majorly used in the metallic and metallic manufacturing industry. However, in recent times, with the advent of modern laser systems, the technology also finds its application in non-metallic material cleaning.

 

Surface cleaning
This type of cleaning is for the removal of rust from the top surface of the material. Usually, surface cleaning is the widest application of laser cleaning machines. Cleaning activities like paint removal, degreasing, and restoration of the material are all types of surface cleaning.


The rust removal using laser rust removing cleaners is widely found in the heavy metals manufacturing industry. De rusting or deoxidation is required very often in most of the heavy metal and manufacturing industries. Therefore, the rust cleaning laser is the ideal choice for such industries.


Another major application of surface cleaning with laser cleaning machines is laser spot repair. In this method of cleaning only spots of impurities/rust need to be removed from the surface of the material.


Cleaning of moulds
Cleaning mold is a very difficult task otherwise. However, with laser cleaning machines, you can easily reach every nook and corner of the molds and clean them of any impurities.


This type of cleaning process is widely used in the food and consumption industry. Because most of the food items need to be packaged in extra clean environments. Therefore, the ideal choice of cleaning the containers with speed and accuracy is by using the laser cleaning process.


Hence, a cleaning method is required which cleans the dirt without affecting the mold itself. Laser cleaning technologies offer the best solution for cleaning rubber molds, where no material is damaged and the chemical composition of the mold is maintained even after the cleaning.

 

Cleaning welds
Welding leaves behind surface deposits that need to be removed for the final furnishing of the product. Therefore, laser cleaning machines play an important part in the removal of weld spots for cleaning the unit.


Laser cleaning is suitable for almost all types of metallic alloys and the treatment of their welds. Therefore, it works wonderfully well with aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and other hard metal and their alloys. Thus, you can easily clean the weld spots from the surface of the materials.

 

 
How to Choose Laser Cleaning Machine
 
01/

Power of laser
The laser cleaners usually come in 3 power categories. Although the exact specifications vary from machine to machine, however, the power categorization will give you a general idea about the machine that will best suit your requirements. With the increase in power, it increases the speed of rust removal and the amount of rust.

02/

Low power cleaner
The low-power laser cleaners range from 20w to 100w power laser. This type of power is ideal for light rust removal and the speed is not of the great matter here. Furthermore, it is also ideal if you have a relatively small set-up where the batch handling is not very large.
Another benefit of using the low-power laser cleaner is the cost reduction of the machine. Thus, if you want to keep your spending low then this is the ideal machine for you.

03/

Medium power option
The medium power laser cleaners usually range from 200w to 300w. These machines are ideal for the removal of medium levels of rust/grease from the materials. However, one important thing to note is that due to the higher power of the laser, it produces more heat.

04/

High power laser cleaner
The high-power laser cleaners are for handling absolute heavy-duty metals. These machines come in the category of 350w, 500w, 1000w, or even up to 2000 w in some cases.

 

How Does Laser Cleaning Machine Work

Laser cleaning machine is a process that utilizes high-energy laser beams to remove unwanted material from surfaces. Here’s a breakdown of how it works.

LCC-1500W Handheld Cleaning Laser

High-energy lasers: The laser beam is directed toward the target surface, focusing its energy on the area to be cleaned. The process begins with the use of high-energy laser beams. These lasers emit concentrated light energy, which is crucial for effective cleaning.

 

Vaporization or ablation: Every material possesses a specific ablation threshold depending on its molecular bonds, and the threshold differs from other materials. As the laser hits the surface, its energy heats up and vaporizes or ablates the contaminants present. As the laser beam interacts with the surface, it vaporizes or ablates the unwanted material. This means that the intense heat generated by the laser causes the contaminants to either evaporate or disintegrate.

 

Conversion of light energy into thermal energy: The conversion of light energy into thermal energy plays a significant role in laser cleaning machine. This conversion results in rapid heating and expansion of the contaminants on the surface.

 

Rapid removal through shockwaves: This ablation process creates shockwaves. The sudden expansion and heating of the contaminants create shockwaves that rapidly remove them from the surface. These shockwaves act as a forceful push, effectively detaching and expelling the unwanted material.

 

After laser processing,to prevent recontamination, a vacuum system or compressed air is used to collect and dispose of the debris generated during the cleaning process.


By following the laser processes, the laser cleaning machine system achieves thorough and precise removal of various types of contaminants, such as rust, paint, grease, or debris.

 

Before initiating the laser cleaning machine process, proper preparation is crucial. Surfaces must be thoroughly inspected and prepared to ensure optimal results. This may involve removing loose particles or applying protective coatings to sensitive areas.

 

The Production Process of Laser Cleaning Machine

 

 

Pre-requisites
Before starting the laser cleaning machine process, it is important to know the laser ablation threshold of the unwanted material. The ablation threshold is the minimum energy limit of the laser over which the unwanted material will vaporize. The ablation threshold differs for individual materials like oxides, rust, paint, oils, etc. Therefore, knowing this value for the particular material you wish to remove is important.
Keeping the laser beam too far beyond the ablation threshold can harm the main workpiece. Therefore, the value of laser energy should be slightly above the ablation threshold. Additionally, the difference between the ablation thresholds of unwanted material and the underlying surface should be sufficiently large.

 

Laser setup
Every laser cleaning machine machine comes with its own setup guidelines. Read your machine's manual to know how to get it ready. It is important to have eye protection beyond this point.

 

Beam delivery
The laser beam is pointed toward the workpiece material. The beam is sent in short bursts instead of long exposure. The delivery method and movement of the laser depend on the type of laser cleaning machine system being used. Certain laser systems can scan the workpiece for areas that require cleaning. The operator can adjust the scanning speed.

 

Plume extraction
When a high amount of contaminant particles are removed, an up-flow of vapor takes place. The plume can block the path of the laser and settle on the workpiece again. Therefore, the plume extraction process takes place. A dust-blowing mechanism ensures the plume does not settle again or block the laser cleaning machine process.

 

Inspection
A workpiece inspection ensues to determine if the task has been completed successfully. If any traces of contaminant is found, the workpiece goes for a repeat cycle of laser cleaning machine.

 

Post treatment
Once cleaning is complete, the workpiece goes for secondary treatment processes. Secondary treatment is optional and depends on the requirement of the job. For instance, the workpiece should be coated with anti-corrosion layers after rust removal through laser cleaning machine. This prevents future contamination with rust.
