Traditional cleaning methods use chemical or contact cleaning, which have major problems, such as negative environmental impact and wear on the object being cleaned: the sandblasting system produces a large amount of waste and can damage the fine surface of the workpiece; Chemical solvent cleaning creates potentially hazardous vapor and liquid waste.

The lack of traditional cleaning methods has led to the application of laser technology in the field of surface cleaning. At this stage, it has become the most effective way to remove surface impurities from materials.

Currently, pulsed laser cleaning and decoating systems are used in a wide variety of applications, from ablation to remove vulcanized residues from tire molds and engraved surfaces, to stripping insulation from wires, and removing coatings from fine surfaces.

The main advantages of using lasers in surface cleaning applications include:

•Automatic cleaning method

• Reduce the amount of waste

• Improve safety

• No chemicals or sand blasting required

• Non-wear and non-contact cleaning processes
