Laser cleaning can replace traditional cleaning methods such as pre-treatment before welding and post welding. It can perform precise cleaning on welded or post welded metal parts of automotive components, remove paint from repair parts in the automotive aftermarket, and achieve customer satisfaction in the automotive manufacturing market.

The principle of laser cleaning is mainly to peel off the rust layer on the metal surface while the laser is irradiated on it. Our laser generates high-intensity vibrations every second, which shatters the peeled rust layer and completes the cleaning. As long as the correct parameters are adjusted, we can achieve zero damage cleaning without damaging the substrate itself.

Traditional cleaning methods such as manual cleaning, acid pickling, shot blasting, sandpaper polishing, etc. not only pollute the environment, cannot achieve automation, are labor-intensive and time-consuming, resulting in waste of human resources.

For example, key welds on painted structural parts must have their coatings removed for inspection, such as using manual or electric tools, abrasives, or chemicals, which can hide problem areas and cause further damage to the surface.

Laser cleaning has many advantages, such as non-contact, no damage to the substrate, green environmental protection, fast cleaning, and automation. When laser cleaning is used in the processing of automotive parts and vehicle manufacturing, precise positioning of the oxide skin and other surface residual pollutants before and after welding of galvanized sheet and aluminum alloy is achieved through laser light source, and thorough cleaning is carried out to obtain strong, void free, and microcrack free welding and bonding, Can effectively improve the welding quality of products.

Depending on the application, the pulse frequency, energy, and wavelength of the laser must be accurately selected to clean, polish, and ablate the target material. At the same time, it can also prevent any form of damage to the substrate material.

The application of laser cleaning machines in polishing, surface cleaning, and coating removal in the automotive industry is rapidly expanding. In addition to the automotive industry, laser cleaning is also used in industries such as mold cleaning, precision instrument cleaning, shipbuilding cleaning, and rail transportation cleaning.
