Q. What materials can the fiber laser cleaning machine clean?
Our fiber laser cleaning machines are suitable for cleaning rust, paint, oil, oxides, and coatings from surfaces like metal (steel, aluminum, copper), stone, concrete, and some plastics.
Q. Will laser cleaning damage the base material?
No. When set correctly, laser cleaning is non-contact and does not damage the underlying material. Parameters like power, frequency, and scanning speed can be adjusted to ensure safe cleaning.
Q. What laser power should I choose: 1500W, 2000W, or 3000W?
It depends on your cleaning needs:
1500W: Suitable for light rust, paint, and oil removal.
2000W–3000W: Ideal for heavy-duty industrial cleaning (thick rust, large-area paint).
Q. Does the machine require consumables?
No, laser cleaning does not use chemicals or blasting media. The main consumables are protective lenses, laser head lenses, and optical components, which require periodic replacement depending on usage.
Q. What's the lifespan of the laser source?
The fiber laser source (e.g., MAX, Raycus, IPG) usually lasts 50,000 to 100,000 hours, depending on usage and environment.
Q. Can I use the machine outdoors?
It is possible with proper protection against dust and moisture, but the machine works best in a dry, clean, and stable indoor environment.
Q. How deep can the laser clean?
Laser cleaning is mainly for surface treatment, typically removing a few microns to a few hundred microns depending on the power and material.
Q. What's the cleaning speed?
It depends on the laser power and material. For example, a 1500W laser can clean rust at speeds of 8–15 m²/h, and 3000W can be significantly faster.
Q. Can the machine clean irregular or curved surfaces?
Yes, laser cleaning can follow uneven and curved surfaces. The handheld laser head offers flexibility for different geometries.
