Lasersko Paint and varnish layers

Laser removal of surface layers of paint and varnish coatings utilizes advanced laser technology for effective and precise removal of coatings, paint, and deposits. This innovative method offers a non-abrasive alternative to traditional removal techniques such as sandblasting and chemical treatments, while preserving the integrity of the underlying material. Laser beams rapidly heat the paint layer, causing it to vaporize, while the substrate remains cool due to its higher ablation temperature. This precision allows careful paint removal around edges and in hard-to-reach areas. Additionally, lasers can efficiently strip multiple layers of paint, outperforming manual methods.

The laser selectively heats and removes only the painted top layers without affecting the underlying material.

Laser cleaning devices are ideal for various applications, and our laser systems ensure a residue-free surface ready for the next stage.

Laser cleanining - FAQ

The goal of laser cleaning is to remove surface material without damaging the underlying substrate. While lasers are capable of cutting through several inches of steel, cleaning requires a much gentler approach and an understanding of ablation thresholds. Each material has an ablation threshold that effectively defines the energy required to vaporize it. Stay below the threshold, and the bulk material remains unharmed. However, exceed the threshold even once, and it will affect the bulk material.

Ablation in the context of laser cleaning refers to the process of removing unwanted layers, such as dirt, oxides, or coatings, from the surface of a material using laser energy. Laser ablation enables precise and controlled cleaning without damaging the underlying material. This method is often used in industries for cleaning metals, stone, and other sensitive surfaces.

Fortunately, most contaminants, such as rust, oil, and coatings, have lower ablation thresholds than metals, stone, wood, and similar materials. However, avoiding damage to the substrate requires careful adjustment of laser parameters, such as wavelength and pulse energy. Precise control of spot size and shape further enhances the efficiency of laser cleaning by minimizing overlap as the beam scans across the surface.

The needs of your company will determine the cost of a customized laser cleaning service. Factors such as location, facility capabilities, and the amount of required labor will influence the overall cost. We will guide you through the process and help you determine the appropriate level of service for your requirements.

The laser diode module typically lasts between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, and sometimes up to 100,000 hours. The long-term performance of laser cleaning machines depends on strictly adhering to recommended best practices and maintaining optimal working environment conditions.

The power requirements of laser cleaning machines are often lower than those of a fan heater or air conditioning system, which makes sense given that many users are concerned about how the laser will affect their electricity bill. Lasers consume varying amounts of energy depending on the size and power of the laser.
