How Laser Cleaning Technology Works

Decoding Fiber Laser Cleaning:

Fiber laser cleaning harnesses powerful laser pulses to strip away contaminants such as rust, paint, oil and other unwanted coatings from a surface without harming the material beneath. Through laser ablation, a concentrated beam targets the surface and the absorbed energy causes the contaminants to vaporize or separate. Because this method requires no chemicals, abrasives or water it offers a clean, precise, environmentally friendly alternative to conventional cleaning & stripping techniques.

THE TECHNOLOGY

The Technology Behind Fiber Laser Cleaning

The innovation centers on the fiber laser, which produces a tightly focused light beam using optical fibers infused with rare-earth elements like ytterbium. Compared to CO₂ or Nd:YAG lasers, fiber lasers offer higher efficiency, extended lifespans, and minimal maintenance. Their fiber-based delivery system ensures precise control, allowing operators to clean fine details without excessive heat buildup that could harm the material.

The Laser Cleaning Process

Harnessing concentrated laser beams, laser cleaning innovatively removes unwanted deposits from solid surfaces. The laser’s energy causes contaminants to vaporize or detach through precise ablation, all while leaving the underlying material untouched and restored to its pristine state. Additionally, laser systems offer rapid setup, safe and silent operation, and entirely chemical-free cleaning. With no residual waste to manage, they deliver low operating costs, minimal upkeep, and a truly eco-friendly solution.

Our Process

First Steps:

Step-01

Material Assessment

We meet with you to review your company’s need for service, evaluate the surface material to determine the best laser solution & cleaning technique. We tailor a solution specific to your needs.

Step-02

Service Application

High precision lasers target the unwanted contaminates, effectively removing them without damaging the underlying surface. This leaves the substrate clean down to the molecule and ready for immediate coating or painting. There is virtually no clean up.

Step-03

Walk-thru Inspection

Post-service, our team will conduct thorough inspections to all treated areas to ensure quality, that all items listed in the work detail have been completed to specifications and that customer satisfaction has been achieved.
