With the fast development of laser cleaning technology it has been popularized in various industries in industrial applications:

• Microelectronics field: semiconductor components, microelectronics devices, memory templates, etc.;

• Cultural relics protection: stone carvings, bronzes, glass and murals, etc.;

• Abrasive cleaning: rubber abrasives, composite abrasives, metal molds, etc.;

• Surface treatment: hydrophilic treatment, surface roughening, pre-welding treatment, etc.;

• Paint and rust removal: aircraft, ships, weaponry, bridges, etc.; aircraft parts, electrical product parts, etc.;

• A clean, even surface – this is the basic requirement for successful and durable welding and adhesive connections.

• Others: urban graffiti, printing rollers, building exterior walls, nuclear industry, etc.

It has been problematic over the years to environment and health especially in noise, dust and effluent that the sandblast or the chemical are utilized to remove the paint from the steel of the construct. 

The laser provides a remedy for this: the non-contact tool frees components of dirt and oxidation/functional layers within seconds. The newly developed removal method is to evaporate the surface material by irradiating non-contact laser toward the target, thus being able to propose optimized ways to surface processing works on all metalls, cement, etc. And it does this only in areas where joining is meant to take place, for example, or where the functional layer is no longer needed.

Here's how it works: pulses with high peak pulse power evaporate the wafer-thin layers, without affecting the component. Subsequent processes such as joining can then be carried out faster, more homogenously, and are entirely reproducible. The connections are clean and last longer. Joining preparation work using light as a tool can also integrate seamlessly into industrial series production, due to the fact that data can easily be transferred via interfaces.
