Advantages of laser cleaning

Traditional cleaning methods include mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning, sandblasting and dry ice cleaning. Their applications are relatively mature, and their applications with environmental protection and high-precision requirements are greatly limited; traditional chemical cleaning methods include mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning, Ultrasonic cleaning, sandblasting and dry ice cleaning are relatively mature applications, but are greatly restricted in applications with environmental protection and high-precision requirements; chemical cleaning methods can easily cause environmental pollution, and the purity produced is also greatly limited, especially when the dirt composition is complex. , several cleaning agents must be used, and re-cleaning is required to meet the surface cleanliness requirements; relatively speaking, ultrasonic cleaning has a good cleaning effect, but is not suitable for sub-micron cleaning. For workpieces of volume and complexity, drying of cleaned workpieces is also a serious problem.

Advantages of laser cleaning technology:

Compared with traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical friction cleaning, chemical corrosion cleaning, hard particle cleaning, and high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning, laser cleaning has obvious advantages.

1. Laser cleaning is a "green" cleaning method. It does not use any chemicals or cleaning fluids. The waste after cleaning is mainly solid powder, which is small in size and easy to store and recycle. It can easily solve the chemical problem of cleaning tapes. and environmental pollution issues;

2. The traditional cleaning method is often contact cleaning, which produces mechanical effects on the surface of the cleaning object and causes damage.

Benefits of laser cleaning:

The surface of the object or the cleaning agent adheres to the surface of the object being cleaned and cannot be removed. Causes secondary pollution, laser cleaning does not require resurfacing, and non-contact solves these problems;

3. Laser can be transmitted through optical cables and interact with mechanical arms and robots. It can easily perform long-distance operations and clean parts that are difficult to reach with traditional methods to ensure the safety of personnel. In some dangerous places;

4. Laser cleaning can remove various pollutants on the surface of various materials to achieve a purity that cannot be achieved by conventional cleaning. It can also selectively clean pollutants on the surface of the material without damaging the surface of the material;

5. Laser cleaning is efficient and time-saving;

6. Although the one-time investment in purchasing a laser cleaning system is high, the cleaning system can be used stably for a long time and has low operating costs. You only need to pay electricity bills every hour.
