In the field of industrial production, ensuring the cleanliness of various workpieces and components is an essential task in the production process. In the braking system of a car, brake pads are the most critical safety component, and the quality of all braking effects is determined by the brake pads. Therefore, good brake pads are the protector of people and cars.

During the production process of brake pads, a large amount of impurities will be generated. After completion of production, various colloids or materials will also adhere to the surface. Cleaning the brake pads is also a part of the production process. In the existing technology, the cleaning of brake pads is mainly done through soaking and manual rubbing, which is inefficient, costly, and greatly affected by environmental factors. Even adhesion may occur between brake pads, making it impossible to clean them properly. The residual impurities on the surface of brake pads can affect their function and create safety hazards.

Due to the strict government regulations on environmental protection, traditional cleaning methods are no longer suitable for industrial cleaning due to their high labor intensity, low efficiency, low safety factor, and high cost. From the perspective of industry development, it is necessary to develop more environmentally friendly, effective, and cost-effective cleaning technologies. Laser cleaning has advantages such as low energy consumption, heavy environmental protection, and high efficiency.

The laser cleaning equipment launched by Shanghai Chengjing Laser is a high-tech product for the new generation of surface cleaning. With 15 years of industry experience, it has obtained 53 national patent technologies. It has the advantages of easy operation, easy automation integration, no need for chemical reagents, can adhere to curved surface cleaning, high cleaning cleanliness, and high accuracy, and can solve various problems that traditional cleaning cannot solve. Laser cleaning differs from traditional cleaning principles, processes, and uses. For precision components such as brake pads, laser cleaning is required. Compared to traditional cleaning, laser cleaning can improve the level of precision by many levels. Laser cleaning machines are easy to automate, have no consumables, and are environmentally friendly with high precision, which traditional cleaning cannot match.

The advantages of laser cleaning in cleaning brake pads:

1. More environmentally friendly: No need to use any chemical agents or cleaning liquids, the cleaned waste is basically solid powder, small in size, easy to store, recyclable, non photochemical reaction, and does not produce pollution.

2. Good effect: Laser cleaning is non abrasive, non-contact, and has no thermal effect. It does not generate mechanical forces on the cleaned object, does not damage the surface of the object, does not damage the substrate, and does not produce secondary pollution.

3. Easy to control: Laser can be transmitted through optical fibers and paired with robots to achieve long-distance operation. It can clean complex structural parts that are not easily accessible by traditional methods. This characteristic also ensures the safety of operators in some dangerous places.

4. Widely applicable: Laser cleaning can remove various types of pollutants from the surface of various materials, achieving cleanliness levels that conventional cleaning cannot achieve. And it can also selectively clean the pollutants on the material surface without damaging it.

5. Low cost: The laser cleaning system has a relatively high initial investment, but can be used stably for a long time, with a service life of up to 10 years. It has low operating costs, fast speed, high efficiency, saves time, and can quickly obtain investment returns. In the long run, the cost is lower than traditional cleaning methods.

Laser cleaning has technological advantages such as intelligent and controllable cleaning process, precise consistency, no damage to substrate, and convenient operation. At the same time, it also has economic and social advantages such as green environmental protection, maintenance free, low operating costs, improved working environment, and labor saving. It has advantages that other industries lack. Nowadays, laser cleaning has become the mainstream cleaning method.
