Getting the Right Laser Cleaning Solution

Nov 03, 2023

At Legent Laser, we understand the confusion you may face when choosing the right laser cleaning solution. Therefore, we will go through the following steps to help you more easily choose a laser cleaning machine solution that suits your needs:

1. Understand Cleaning Needs And Budget
Analyze the material, size and stain level of the cleaning object

Before determining the laser cleaning plan, we must first understand the basic information of the cleaning object.
Material of the cleaning object: Objects of different materials respond differently to laser cleaning. Some materials absorb laser energy, while others may reflect or scatter the laser light. Therefore, it is important to choose laser parameters suitable for a specific material. For example, transparent materials such as glass, plexiglass, etc. are not suitable for laser cleaning because they cannot absorb laser energy; reflective materials such as mirrors and metals will reflect laser energy away, resulting in poor cleaning results; heat-sensitive materials such as plastics, Wax, etc., laser cleaning may cause deformation, melting or damage.
The geometry and size of the cleaning area: Size affects the difficulty and time required for cleaning, and the laser cleaning system needs to be appropriately programmed and adjusted to accommodate the cleaning needs of different areas. Treating areas with complex geometries may require more time and technique to achieve the same cleaning results.
Stain Level: The stain level helps determine the complexity and workload of cleaning. Light stains can be easily and quickly removed with a low-power ordinary laser. However, for severe stains, it may be necessary to use a professional high-power laser cleaning machine equipped with corresponding auxiliary tools and processes to complete the cleaning. Therefore, before cleaning, it is necessary to evaluate the stain and choose a suitable cleaning machine.
Nature of dirt: Different types of dirt respond differently to laser light. Some dirt may be easier to remove with a laser, while others require higher laser powers and wavelengths to clean.

Determine the requirements and budget range for cleaning results
After understanding the basic information of the cleaning object, we can initially determine that your target can be cleaned using laser. We will further communicate with you about the cleaning effect you hope to achieve and your budget range.

4. Determine The Cleaning Plan And Process Flow
Develop preliminary laser cleaning plan and process flow
Before determining the cleaning plan and process flow, we need to first understand the basic principles and characteristics of laser cleaning. Laser cleaning is a cleaning method that uses high-energy laser beams to irradiate the surface of an object to decompose, vaporize or peel off dirt, grease, oxides and other substances on the surface of the object through the action of laser energy. It has the advantages of high efficiency, high precision, and environmental protection, and is widely used for cleaning the surfaces of various metals, non-metallic materials, electronic devices, etc.
When formulating a laser cleaning plan, we need to select the appropriate laser, cleaning head, workbench and other equipment based on the material, shape, type of contaminants and other factors of the object to be cleaned, and determine the cleaning process parameters, such as laser power, pulse width, Scan speed, etc. At the same time, we also need to consider the thermal impact, damage and other factors that may occur during the cleaning process, as well as how to carry out effective cooling, protection and other measures.
When formulating the preliminary laser cleaning plan and process flow, we need to follow the following steps:


1. Understand basic information such as the material, shape, and types of contaminants of the objects to be cleaned, as well as cleaning requirements and goals.
2. Select the appropriate laser, cleaning head, workbench and other equipment based on basic information, and determine the cleaning process parameters, such as laser power, pulse width, scanning speed, etc.
3. Conduct preliminary experimental verification to test the cleaning effect and feasibility, and make adjustments and optimizations based on the experimental results.
4. Develop detailed cleaning plans and processes, including operating steps, safety measures, precautions, etc.
5. Review and evaluate cleaning plans and processes to ensure their scientificity, rationality and feasibility.


Consider temperature, speed, angle and other factors during the laser cleaning process
In the laser cleaning process, factors such as temperature, speed, angle, etc. have an important impact on the cleaning effect and quality. Therefore, we need to fully consider and adjust these factors.


1. Temperature: During the laser cleaning process, the surface temperature of the object will increase. Excessive temperature may cause material deformation or damage. Therefore, we need to choose the appropriate cooling method and technology based on the material and shape of the object to be cleaned, and control the surface temperature of the object within an appropriate range.
2. Speed: During the laser cleaning process, the moving speed of the workbench and the laser scanning speed will affect the cleaning effect and quality. Generally speaking, the faster the speed, the higher the cleaning efficiency, but too high a speed may lead to incomplete cleaning or damage to the surface of the object. Therefore, we need to choose appropriate speed parameters according to the actual situation.
3. Angle: The angle of laser beam irradiation also has an important impact on the cleaning effect and quality. Generally speaking, a suitable angle can ensure that the laser energy acts better on the surface of the object and improve the cleaning effect and quality. Therefore, we need to choose appropriate angle parameters according to the actual situation.
