Laser rust removal is a non-contact process, during which we do not have to worry about damaging the material. It can be fully automated and combined with other technologies, e.g. robotics. The other option is the 1D laser cleaner, which can even be used with manual control.
The laser process does not require physical contact with the material, which reduces the risk of damage or deformation of the surface. Since no mechanical tools are used, the laser method also minimizes the wear on the surface and, as a result, tool wear does not occur, as with traditional physical cleaning.
Traditional rust removal often requires chemicals that can damage the environment and be dangerous for people, on the other hand, laser technology is completely chemical-free, so it provides users with an environmentally friendly solution. Due to increasingly strict environmental protection rules, it is advisable to think about the technologies we use, since laser technology not only provides the above, but also consumes little energy, which contributes to cost reduction and protects human health and the environment.
The laser cleaning processes themselves have many advantages, among them the laser beams are extremely precise and easily follow the topology of the metal surface, be it smooth or complex. This allows rust to be removed even from small, hard-to-reach areas. After laser cleaning, the surface is metallic clean, ready for any further processing such as painting, coating or welding. Thanks to our development, our tools are multifunctional, which means that after cleaning, we can also ensure better adhesion of the coatings with one surface treatment. Therefore, there is no need for further post-processing, which would be essential after traditional methods.
Laser technology can be used perfectly in metalworking, industrial maintenance, the automotive industry and many other areas where a fast, efficient and environmentally friendly solution is needed for cleaning metal surfaces, but of course it can also be used on other surfaces.
