The main advantage of laser cleaning is its versatility. It can be used to quickly and very effectively remove rust, paint, varnish coatings, dirt, grease and discoloration, mainly from polychrome metal surfaces, but also from stone and wooden surfaces. Laser cleaning is gaining an increasing range of applications, which is why it is used in production plants, factories, workshops and generally everywhere where we care about exceptional care of surfaces (including small and delicate ones).
Until now, the most popular method for cleaning surfaces was sandblasting. However, it cannot be used in all cases, as it is not suitable for sensitive surfaces with small components that could be damaged during the cleaning process.
Laser cleaning has become an appropriate alternative to sandblasting. A laser delivers a high, concentrated energy pulse that precisely removes old paint, rust, grease spots, and other contaminants without expelling abrasive material.
Additionally, the CL4 Flat variant also allows for polishing surfaces and altering their adhesion properties.
Sandblasting did not allow for cleaning threads. Furthermore, a laser can pass through glass, enabling the cleaning of elements inside a sealed glass enclosure.
Note! The “cleaning through glass” process can only be performed by a highly skilled operator. An example of an item cleaned “through glass” is a watch or a water meter. To clean a clock face, the watch does not need to be opened. This task must be carried out only by trained and experienced individuals using special lasers, as using improper devices may cause coating rupture and injury.
