Does Fiber Laser Cleaning Machine Clean Metal Rust?

Firstly,Old cleaning process:
Chemical corrosion cleaning, sand blasting impact cleaning, high frequency ultrasonic cleaning
Disadvantages:low efficiency,or produce a large amount of waste-water and dust,environment pollution.Not environmentally friendly.
Laser cleaning has the characteristics of no grinding, non-contact and no thermal effect, and is easy to be equipped with dust absorption and purification equipment.It is suitable for the cleaning of objects of various materials.

It is considered to be the most reliable and effective solution. Laser cleaning and rust removal uses high-frequency and high-energy laser pulse to irradiate the workpiece surface.
The coating layer can instantly absorb the focused laser energy, so that the oil stain, rust spot or coating on the surface can evaporate or peel off instantly, and the surface attachment or surface coating can be removed effectively at high speed.
The laser pulse with very short action time will not damage the metal substrate under appropriate parameters.

Secondly,New cleaning process:
Laser cleaning process.


Laser cleaning technology

1. Laser cleaning technology refers to the use of high-energy laser beams to irradiate the surface of the product‘ surface/workpiece to instantly evaporate or peel off the dirt,rust or coating on the surface,so as to cleaning process.

2. It‘s application objects involve the protection of machinery industry,microelectronics industry and artwork.

3. The principle of laser cleaning is mainly based on the fact that the contaminants on the surface of the object absorb the laser energy,or vaporize and volatilize,or instantly expand by heat to overcome the adsorption force of the particles on the surface,and make it detach from the surface of the object.

Laser cleaning uses high-frequency and high-energy laser pulses to irradiate the surface of the workpiece. 
The coating layer can instantly absorb the focused laser energy,generate shock waves,and cause the oil,rust or coating on the surface to evaporate or peel instantly,and effectively remove surface attachments or The cleaning method of the surface coating and the laser pulse with a short action time will not damage the metal substrate under the appropriate parameters. 

Laser Cleaning Future market:
The development of lasers is an important factor to promote the laser cleaning process. At present, high-frequency pulsed fiber lasers and solid-state pulsed lasers are more commonly used; secondly, the optical components of the laser cleaning head are also very important factors.

Traditional cleaning includes mechanical friction cleaning, chemical corrosion cleaning, sand blasting impact cleaning, high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning and other processes,but these processes are either inefficient or produce a large amount of wastewater and dust,which do not meet the national requirements for environmental protection and green production.

How much thickness metal rust can be clean?
From now on,fiber laser cleaning supplier from China,different power machine were produced.Such as 50w,100w,200w,500w,1000w.Maximum 2000W.
Metal rust thickness Machine power should choose
0.001mm~0.2mm 100W
0.2mm~0.8mm 200W
0.8mm~1.5mm 500W
1.5mm~2mm 1000W

But for 2KW power machine,the laser head very heavy,almost up to 8kg,so it is suitable to install on the robot,or XYZ moving table.

Manual operation holdwith so heavy scanning head,can not work long time.
