Laser cleaning machines

Speed and cost efficiency

• Faster, cleaner workSeveral times faster than manual grinding. No lengthy preparation, masking or subsequent clean-up is required, unlike with sandblasting or abrasive blasting. The cleaned surface is immediately ready for further processing.

• Zero consumables costsUnlike abrasive processes, which require a continuous supply of abrasives, sand or steel shot, laser cleaning requires only electricity and compressed air.

• Environmentally friendly processNo hazardous secondary waste (such as chemicals or sand contaminated with heavy metals) or airborne dust. The minimal amount of contamination removed from the surface can be extracted locally and immediately.

Quality and appearance

• Non-destructive cleaningUnlike grinding and blasting, the base material is not damaged, thinned or scratched. The laser selectively evaporates only the contamination or coating, without damaging the metal.

• Minimal heat inputThanks to the short laser pulses and concentrated energy beam, there is no warping or permanent thermal distortion of the workpiece, and the metal's microstructure remains intact.

• Perfect surface preparationLeaves a spotless, clean metal surface. No microparticles are embedded in the material, as can happen with sandblasting, ensuring maximum quality and adhesion for subsequent welds or coatings.

Versatile applications

• Even for complex geometriesThe non-contact process makes it easy to clean hard-to-reach corners, holes and recesses that an angle grinder or wire brush cannot access at all.

• For every taskRapid removal of rust, oxide layers, thick paint, oil, grease and welding discolouration from steel, stainless steel, aluminium and other alloys.

• Easy integration and mobilityThe handheld cleaning head enables immediate, flexible operation on site, while the technology can also be integrated seamlessly into automated series production by mounting it on a robotic arm or linear axis.
