Practical application of laser cleaning machine

1. Cleaning of the mold:

The laser cleaning machine connected by fiber can clean the light guide to the dead corner of the mold or the parts that are difficult to remove, and is convenient to use; the rubber is not vaporized, so no toxic gas is generated. The technology of laser cleaning tire molds has been widely used in the tire industry in Europe and the United States, and the benefits obtained in saving standby time, avoiding mold damage, working safety and saving raw materials are far greater than the initial investment cost. According to Quantel's LASERLASTE laser cleaning system, the cleaning test on the production line of Shanghai Shuangqian Heavy Duty Truck Co., Ltd. shows that it can clean the mold of a large truck tire in just 2 hours. The economic benefits are obvious compared to conventional cleaning methods.

The anti-adhesive elastic film layer on the food industry mold needs to be replaced regularly to ensure hygiene, and laser cleaning is also suitable for applications in various industries.

 

2. Cleaning of weapons and equipment:

Laser cleaning technology is widely used in weapon maintenance. The laser cleaning system can remove rust and pollutants efficiently and quickly, and can select the cleaning parts to realize the automation of cleaning. Laser cleaning is not only more clean than chemical cleaning, but also has no damage to the surface of the object.

 

3, the removal of aircraft old paint:

Laser cleaning systems in Europe have long been used in the aerospace industry. The surface of the aircraft must be repainted after a certain period of time, but the original old paint must be completely removed before painting. The traditional mechanical paint removal method is easy to cause damage to the metal surface of the aircraft, posing a hidden danger to safe flight. If multiple laser cleaning systems are used, the paint on the surface of an A320 Airbus can be completely removed within two days without damaging the metal surface.

 

4. Cleaning of the exterior wall of the building:

The laser cleaning system provides a good solution for cleaning the exterior walls of buildings through fiber optics up to 70 meters long. It can effectively clean all kinds of pollutants on various stone, metal and glass, and it is more efficient than conventional cleaning. Many times higher. It can also remove black spots and stains on various stone materials in buildings. The washing test of LASERLASTE laser cleaning system on buildings and stone monuments in Shaolin Temple of Lushan Mountain shows that the use of laser cleaning is very effective in protecting the appearance of ancient buildings.

 

5. Cleaning in the electronics industry

The electronics industry uses lasers to remove oxides: the electronics industry requires high-precision decontamination, making it ideal for laser deoxidation. Before the board is soldered, the component pins must be completely de-oxidized to ensure optimal electrical contact, and the pins must not be damaged during the decontamination process. Laser cleaning meets the requirements of use and is highly efficient, requiring only one laser to be applied to one pin.

 

6. Precise deesterification cleaning in the precision machinery industry

The precision machinery industry often needs to remove the esters and mineral oils used to lubricate and resist corrosion on the parts, usually by chemical methods, while chemical cleaning often has residues. Laser deesterification removes esters and mineral oil completely without damaging the surface of the part. The removal of contaminants is done by shock waves, and the thin gas layer of the surface of the part is explosively vaporized to form a shock wave, which leads to the removal of dirt rather than mechanical interaction. The material is completely de-esterified for the cleaning of mechanical parts in the aerospace industry. Oil ester removal in mechanical part processing can also be done by laser cleaning.

 

7. Pipe cleaning in nuclear power plant reactor

The laser cleaning system is also used for cleaning pipelines in nuclear power plant reactors. It uses optical fiber to introduce high-power laser beam into the reactor to directly remove radioactive dust, and the cleaned material is easy to clean. And because it is operated remotely, it can ensure the safety of the staff.

 

In summary, laser cleaning technology has appeared in many fields. Laser cleaning machines are used in automobile manufacturing, semiconductor wafer cleaning, precision parts processing, military equipment cleaning, building exterior cleaning, cultural relic protection, and circuit board cleaning. , precision parts processing and manufacturing, LCD display cleaning, chewing gum removal and other fields can play an important role.
