Working Principle of Handheld Continuous Laser Cleaning Machine

The laser generator generates a high-energy laser beam, and the optical system focuses the laser beam onto the surface of the object to form a very small cleaning spot. When the laser beam irradiates the surface of the object, dirt and impurities will absorb the laser energy, produce thermal expansion and thermal decomposition, and thus evaporate or peel off. The cleaning points move across the surface of the object, continuously removing dirt and impurities until the entire surface is cleaned. It can effectively and quickly remove attachments and excess coating from workpieces, and is considered the most effective solution for workpiece cleaning.

 

High temperature vaporization: The highly concentrated laser beam can generate very high heat energy around the spot, so dirt can be quickly vaporized or peeled off instantly;

 

Swell and fall off: The scattering of the laser beam is small and the direction is stable. We can adjust the energy density of the laser by controlling the laser beam spot with different diameters, so that the dirt is heated and then changed. When the expansion force of dirt is greater than the adsorption force of dirt to the substrate, detachment and falling will occur.

 

Shock off: The laser cleaning beam can produce a high-frequency ultrasonic wave on the solid surface, thereby causing mechanical resonance to quickly break and fall off the dirt.

What Materials Can Be Laser Cleaned

Laser metal cleaning
Laser metal cleaning is trendy in factories, workshops, and many diy projects. This method can be used for a wide range of applications. That is why it is called versatile cleaning.

 

Laser rust removal
A laser rust cleaner is a safe and reliable tool for removing rust from metal surfaces. It utilizes focused laser beams to vaporize rust without damaging the underlying metal. This non-contact process is particularly ideal for restoring machinery and vehicles.

 

Laser paint stripping
We often paint on metal, wood, or even concrete. Laser paint stripping is an excellent solution for removing these. Laser metal cleaner is used to remove paint layers from metal surfaces. This technique gives accurate results. In the case of metals, laser pain stripping is commonly used in the vehicle and aircraft industries. The use of this technology is also widely observed in marine ship restoration.

Laser cleaning wood

Laser surface cleaning is suitable for many types of wood. Hardwoods like oak and maple are typical examples. You can also clean softwoods like pine, but must ensure the correct laser settings.

Laser stone cleaning

Marble and granite are widely used in monuments and buildings. Over time, these stones can accumulate dirt and graffiti. When you need to clean them, you may need a proper solution. Sandblasting or water blasting may damage the delicate surface.

Laser cleaning plastic

Laser surface cleaning also works on various types of plastics. Suitable plastics are abs, pvc, and pet. This method is often used in industrial applications, such as cleaning molds. It can also fix up different plastic parts in electronics and cars.

Laser cleaning glass

As you know, glass is often used in many applications because it is transparent and appealing. We mainly use it in windows for buildings and vehicles. You may also find it in lenses, bottles, and storage jars. Art and decoration often use glass elements, too.

 

Major Difference Between Continuous and Pulse Laser Cleaning Machine

 

Laser source
The main difference between these two types of laser cleaning machines is the type of laser used. Pulse laser cleaning machines use pulsed laser, while continuous laser cleaning machines use continuous laser.

Cleaning principle
Secondly, the cleaning principle of the two types of machines is also different. Continuous laser cleaning machines use high-temperature burning to clean dirt, while pulse laser cleaning machines use oscillation to break down dirt. Therefore, pulse laser cleaning machines cause relatively less damage to the substrate.

Price
Additionally, the price difference is quite significant. The price of a pulse laser cleaning machine is more than 3-4 times higher than that of a continuous laser cleaning machine. This is also a factor that many customers consider when choosing a laser cleaning machine.

Cleaning results

The continuous laser cleaning machine and pulse laser cleaning machine are also different in cleaning speed and cleaning effect. The continuous laser cleaning machine is suitable for cleaning large-area, thin-thick stains, with fast cleaning speed and good effect. However, the cleaning speed of the pulse laser cleaning machine is relatively slow, and it is suitable for cleaning small areas and thick stains.

 

Which one is more suitable to clean paint?
If the material to be cleaned is paint, pulse laser cleaning machines are more suitable. Due to the strong adhesion of paint, it is more difficult to clean than rust and oil. When using a continuous laser cleaning machine to clean paint, the laser burns the surface of the material for a longer time, which may cause more damage to the substrate. If the customer requires good cleaning results and has a sufficient budget, we recommend choosing a pulse laser cleaning machine. This can improve cleaning efficiency and ensure good cleaning results.

Another thing to note is that if the dirt and the substrate material are two different substances, pulse laser cleaning machines are more suitable. Since the cleaning process of pulse laser cleaning machines uses oscillation to separate dirt, it is more conducive to separating dirt and substrate materials that are two different substances.

 

How to Choose Handheld Continuous Laser Cleaning Machine

 

 

Laser process parameters
According to control theory, a process parameter is a process component’s measured value. Usually, the operator monitors or controls these process parameters based on different circumstances. The following parameters help you choose the best laser-cleaning machine.

 

Laser power and pulse frequency
Laser machines can have two typical laser frequencies: Continuous and pulsed. Continuous laser machines produce a constant flow of energy. It means that an uninterrupted laser frequency provides high-quality and effective laser beams. Continuous laser is famous for laser cutting and welding. This type of laser machine requires high energy consumption.

 

On the other hand, pulsed laser machines produce interrupted laser frequency at regular intervals. This laser power is famous for cleaning, marking, or etching. Therefore, it is essential to check the laser power type of the machine you are choosing.

 

Laser safety
Safety has always been the primary consideration for every laser cleaning machine. Typically, a laser machine requires a class-1 safety enclosure. It makes the work safe and reliable. Every laser machine manufacturer must meet the requirements of safety regulations worldwide. However, if you see the laser machine is already equipped with a class-1 laser safety enclosure, you won’t need any ppes. In the case of a handheld laser cleaning machine, you should ensure the safety enclosure class. If it is class 4, then you may need additional ppe.

 

Cleaning speed and times
Some people may need clarification on cleaning and scanning speeds. A scanning speed refers to the galvo scanners’ working speed, producing a certain laser spot width. In this case, the laser cleaning speed is perpendicular to this laser spot. For example, in hanten cnc, different laser types offer a cleaning speed between 0.5m2/h and 15m2/h.

 

Cleaning times are another essential factor that you should consider. Cleaning times refer to the number of operations required for the desired cleaning properties. At different laser cleaning speeds, the surface roughness also changes. You may need consecutive laser cleaning operations to get the desired state.

 

Fume extraction
During laser cleaning, the process will produce lots of contaminants. In this case, laser cleaning standards require a vaporization process to convert the pollutants into dust or fumes. It is necessary to extract these contaminants from the working space. However, ensuring this feature protects workers and keeps the functional area clean and tidy.

 

First, check the fume extraction nozzle position. After that, check the safety measures of plc automated communications. Lastly, check the filter and extraction units based on the type of dust or fumes produced.

 

Overlap ratio and energy density
The overlap ratio is another fundamental part of laser cleaning. It is seen that overlap ratio and energy density change cleaning speed, pulse frequency, and power. Therefore, these two parameters change the total value of the surface roughness of the projected metal part.

 

Why is it necessary to consider this when choosing a suitable laser cleaning machine? Because it will tell you the productivity of the whole machine. You can check these properties from the lab test documents provided with the laser cleaning machine.

 

Machine and other parameters
We have learned the fundamentals of some process parameters that may help you make the right decision. This section will consider some visible machine parameters of different types. The following parameters are essential to consider if you want to ensure the highest productivity from your business.

 

Precautions of Handheld Continuous Laser Cleaning Machine
 
Follow the power-on sequence of the laser cleaning machine

When starting up, turn on the water pump (water cooler) first, then turn on the power switch, and then turn on the laser switch. When shutting down, turn off the laser switch first, then turn off the power switch, and then turn off the water pump (water cooler).

Maintenance and cleaning of the chiller

● Because the water in the chiller will become dirty, it will affect the light output, so clean the chiller of the laser machine regularly every half a month to drain the visceral water, and then fill it with new pure water or distilled water;

 

● According to the water quality, check whether the filter (laser and the filter of the water chiller) is blocked, check whether the filter element of the water cooler is polluted, and the water cooler filter element needs to be replaced once a maximum of six months.

Pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of guide rails and linear rails

During the operation of the laser cleaning machine, a large amount of corrosive dust and smoke will be generated during the processing of the processed parts. If these smoke and dust are deposited on the surface of the guide rail and linear axis for a long time, it will have a great impact on the processing accuracy of the equipment. And it will form corrosion spots on the surface of the linear axis of the guide rail, shortening the service life of the equipment. In order to make the machine work normally and stably and ensure the processing quality of the products, the daily maintenance of the guide rail and linear axis must be done carefully.

Cleaning of reflector and focusing lens

The reflector and focusing lens should be scrubbed with a special cleaning solution every 6-8 hours. When scrubbing, use a cotton swab or cotton swab dipped in the cleaning solution to scrub in a counterclockwise direction from the center to the edge of the focusing lens. At the same time, be careful not to scratch the lens.

Cleaning method of exhaust fan and smoke pipe

When there is a lot of smoke and dust during processing, it is necessary to clean the fan, remove the cover of the fan, use thin wood to scrape the dust on the fan blades and the wind channel, and then use a high-pressure gun to blow off the dust, and the method of cleaning the smoke pipe and the water cleaning method of the exhaust fan is the same.
