Laser Cleaning: Say Goodbye to Rail Rust!
Surveys show that my country's railways mainly use seamless rails, with a coverage rate as high as 70%. The key process in seamless rail production is rail welding, and rail cleaning technology has a crucial impact on the welding effect.
Traditional polishing faces many problems
1. Deep grinding ensures cleanliness, but destroys the curved track surface and affects passenger comfort.
2. The amount of sanding is reduced to ensure the curved surface shape, but it causes serious rust residue and creates a huge safety hazard.
3. The consumption of grinding wheel consumables is large, expensive, serious environmental pollution, and serious harm to workers' health.
4. The work efficiency is low and the cleaning cycle is long, which virtually increases labor costs.
The benefits of modern laser cleaning
1. The cleaning light source can adapt to the curved shape of the guide rail and minimize damage to the substrate.
2. Laser cleaning can achieve selective removal of contaminants, improve cleanliness, and protect the substrate.
3. The consumables do not use green cleaning technology, which eliminates dust pollution and greatly reduces cleaning costs.
4. This clean light source can use the flexible transmission of optical fibers to cooperate with robot integration work and improve work efficiency.
Railway maintenance and repair tasks are arduous. As a high-tech cleaning technology in the new era, laser cleaning is crucial to solving problems such as high scrap rate, high cost, and large environmental pollution. Not only that, but also related industries. Scientific research and technological progress can bring huge economic and social benefits!
