What do I need to pay attention to?
When buying a laser cleaning machine we recommend that you pay attention to a number of the following parameters:
Pulsed and continuous cleaning
Pulsed laser cleaning machine is a cleaning method that uses a pulsed laser beam to remove contaminants or unwanted materials from a surface. The process involves applying a high intensity, short pulse duration laser beam to a surface, resulting in the removal of unwanted material through ablation.
In pulsed laser cleaning, the laser beam is usually generated by a pulsed solid state laser or fiber laser. The laser beam is focused on the surface using a lens, and laser parameters such as pulse duration, flux and repetition rate can be adjusted to meet specific cleaning requirements.
Pulsed laser cleaning is highly effective for removing persistent contaminants such as rust, paint and coatings from various surfaces including metals, plastics and ceramics. It is also a non-contact and non-abrasive cleaning method that minimizes the risk of surface damage.
One of the key advantages of pulsed laser cleaning is its precision, which allows for selective cleaning of certain areas without affecting the surrounding surface. In addition, it is an environmentally friendly cleaning method that does not produce any hazardous waste or chemical residue.
Pulsed laser cleaning machine has a wide range of applications in various industries, including aerospace, automotive, electronics and medical equipment.
One such example is the Wattsan 100W model.
The power of 100 watts is enough to do the job effectively, with the advantage of working specifically with delicate materials and surfaces, gentle cleaning and restoration.
Continuous laser cleaning is the application of a laser beam with a constant intensity to the surface, which results in the removal of unwanted material through a combination of heating and vaporization. Continuous cleaning works twice as fast as pulsed cleaning.
This type is better suited for rough industrial cleaning: paint, varnish, rust, various oxides and deposits, and fuel and lubricating fluids.
One example is the Wattsan Laser Weld 1000. This model is ideal for working on large surfaces: marine vessels, etc.
Laser cleaning transmitter power
Wattsan laser cleaning machines use JPT pulsed emitters from 100 to 500 watts. These wattages are well suited for regular cleaning of small to medium sized rooms, as well as gentle cleaning and restoration of various surfaces.
For example, the Wattsan 300W. Fast enough and easy to use. The golden mean.
I also draw your attention to the fact that the wider the frequency range of the radiator, the greater the choice of settings for working with other materials will be available to you.
