In the field of industrial cleaning, pulse cleaning and continuous cleaning are the most popular choices. This guide describes technical principles, unique features, applicable materials and industries. And a buying guide is provided to help you make the most appropriate choice.
Pulse laser cleaning machines use pulse lasers. The laser emits highly concentrated laser pulses, causing the contamination layer to react, weakening its bond with the base material, and eventually being peeled off or vaporized from the base.
Continuous laser cleaning machines use continuous wave (CW) lasers that continuously emit laser beams. The principle of contaminant removal is the same as that of pulsed laser. Compared with pulse laser, the energy density of continuous laser is lower, but it can continuously act on the surface of the object and is suitable for cleaning large areas or thick contaminants.
High Energy Pulse: Utilizes short, high energy laser pulses to rapidly heat and remove surface material.
Precise control: The energy, duration and frequency of pulses can be precisely controlled to adapt to different cleaning requirements.
Minimize thermal impact: The thermal impact on surrounding materials is small, which can reduce damage to the substrate
Suitable for sensitive materials: Due to its precise and localized thermal influence, it is ideal for sensitive or fragile materials.
Efficiently removes stubborn contaminants: Especially effective at removing coatings, paint, rust and other difficult-to-remove surface contaminants.
Continuous laser output: suitable for continuous and large-area cleaning operations.
Suitable for thick pollution layers: The continuous thermal effect can penetrate into thick pollution layers and gradually peel and remove them.
Simplified operation: No need to finely control parameters, the operation is simpler.
Lower economic cost: usually lower cost and simple maintenance.
Be aware of the risk of overheating: Prolonged heat output can cause damage to sensitive materials. Laser power and working time need to be properly controlled during use.
Each of these two machines is suitable for different types of materials. This depends on the sensitivity of the material, the degree of contamination and the cleaning efficiency required. The following details the types of materials these two machines are suitable for:
Metal materials: oxide layer, rust, oil stains, etc. on the surface of stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium and other metals. Pulsed lasers can effectively remove such surface contaminants without damaging the metal itself.
Composite materials: such as carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced plastics. Pulsed lasers can precisely control energy to avoid damaging sensitive substrates.
Sensitive Materials: Includes certain plastics, woods and textiles. These materials may not withstand continuous heat loads but can be safely cleaned by adjusting pulse parameters.
Precision workpieces: such as electronic components, precision machinery and medical equipment, etc. Pulsed laser cleaning protects the functionality and precision of workpieces.
Large areas of metal: Continuous laser can efficiently clean large metal structures, such as steel components, large machinery and equipment, and ship hulls.
High-temperature-resistant materials: Such as certain industrial metals and alloys that can withstand the higher thermal loads generated by continuous lasers.
Non-metallic materials: such as stone and concrete. Continuous lasers can be used to remove dirt, mold, and other deposits from the surfaces of these materials.
Heavily soiled surfaces: Continuous lasers can clean heavy layers of paint, coatings and other difficult-to-remove coverings, provided the material can withstand the continuous thermal load.
When selecting and purchasing a cleaning machine, following a clear buying process can help you make the right decision. The following is a detailed buy process:
Here’s a streamlined and structured version of your text for purchasing a laser cleaning machine:
Material and Contaminants: Identify what materials you need to clean and the contaminants involved, such as oil, rust, or paint.
Cleaning Scope: Consider the size of the cleaning area and how frequently cleaning will occur.
Budgeting: Establish a budget that includes the buy price, operating costs (like power and maintenance), and consumables.
Supplier Comparison: Investigate various laser cleaning machine suppliers, focusing on their product range and market reputation.
Feature Comparison: Examine the features of different models, looking at laser power, operating mode (pulse or continuous), and more functionalities.
Demo Request: Ask suppliers for a product demonstration to see the equipment’s effectiveness.
Sample Testing: If possible, provide samples to the supplier to perform tests ensuring the cleaning results meet your needs.
Cost-Benefit Analysis: Determine the cost-effectiveness by comparing the buy, operational, and maintenance costs with the expected efficiency.
Investment Payback: Calculate the equipment's payback period to ensure it fits your long-term financial planning.
After-Sales Services: Verify the supplier’s after-sales service, including warranty conditions, repair services, and technical support.
Training and Installation: Ensure the supplier offers adequate training and installation support, enabling effective use of the equipment by your team.
Final Evaluation: Use the information gathered to make a comprehensive assessment.
Negotiate and Buy: Negotiate the price and service terms with the supplier and complete the buy.
