Laser Applications
Laser cleaning is an excellent method for cleaning a wide variety of materials and part types. Laser cleaning is used in a range of applications and at various stages of production, including as a step before or after another process in a production line or for restoration of existing parts.
Laser Rust Removal
Laser rust removal, also known as laser cleaning, offers a highly efficient solution for cleansing metal components. By utilizing a fiber laser cleaning system, the technique can swiftly eradicate rust and other impurities without causing harm to the underlying metal.
Laser rust removal offers a superior alternative to traditional methods of cleaning rust. Not only does it provide more precise results, but it also reduces recurring expenses. Additionally, it helps minimize your environmental footprint.
Laser Metal Cleaning
Prior to welding and various other surface treatments, it is imperative that metal surfaces are free of oxides and thoroughly cleaned. Laser technology offers a solution for eliminating these impurities without introducing any additional substances into the base metal. With its precise micron capabilities, the laser can precisely remove oxides in a controlled manner and from pre-designated sections.
When it comes to removing oxides from both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, fiber laser cleaning systems are a superior choice over chemical treatments, mechanical brushes, and other commonly used methods.
Laser Paint Removal
The environmentally friendly technique of laser paint removal is used to remove layers of paint from metallic surfaces without causing harm to the base material. One advantage of this method is its precision in targeting specific areas for coating removal.
`Often referred to as laser paint stripping or laser coating removal, it is suitable for all types of metals, with steel, aluminum, and copper being the most commonly treated. Various coatings, such as paint, powder coating, e-coating, phosphate coating, and insulating coating can be effectively removed using this process.
Laser Ablation for Aviation
Laser ablation is an FAA-accepted process when performed in accordance with approved data and procedures. This includes applications specified by OEM maintenance manuals (AMM), FAA-approved repairs or alterations (including Form 337 with approved data), Repair Station OpSpecs, DER-approved engineering, or Supplemental Type Certificates (STCs).
This technology is widely used across the aviation and defense industries—including organizations such as the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, and NASA—for critical applications such as corrosion removal, coating and paint stripping, surface preparation prior to bonding, and restoration of aluminum and composite structures.
Surface Preparation
Laser cleaning can be used to prepare concrete, metal, and other surfaces for epoxy coatings, paint, welding, bonding, and other applications by removing contaminants, oxides, and residues that could interfere with adhesion or performance. This process helps create a cleaner, more consistent surface for proper application.
Non-Ferrous Metal Cleaning
Laser cleaning is highly effective for restoring and maintaining non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze. Unlike abrasive or chemical methods, the laser process removes oxides, coatings, and contaminants without altering the base material or causing surface damage.
Non Destructive Testing
NDT with our laser technology allows for the evaluation of materials, components, and systems without causing harm or disruption. maintaining safety, reliability, and efficiency. Laser NDT offers unmatched capabilities in detecting subsurface defects such as disbonds, delaminations, and voids across a wide range of materials and structures.
