LASER CLEANING TECHNOLOGY

Industrial laser cleaning – or ablation
– is the process of clearing away
undesired material from a solid surface
by irradiating it with a laser beam.
By absorbing the energy of the laser
beam, the targeted material is heated
very quickly, making it evaporate or
sublimate. As the surface below does not
absorb any energy, it stays untouched.
By adjusting the pulse power, scanning
speed and cleaning pattern, the amount
of material that is being removed by a
single laser pulse can be controlled with
extreme precision.
