Applications and Advantages of Handheld Laser Cleaning Technology

Cleaning technology is an indispensable step in industrial production, and the use of laser cleaning technology can quickly remove contaminants such as dust, paint, oil, and rust from the surface of workpieces. The emergence of handheld laser cleaning machines has greatly improved the portability of the equipment. Today, we will discuss the advantages of handheld laser cleaning machines:

 

1. Wide Cleaning Application: Traditional laser cleaning involves fixing the workpiece on a workbench for cleaning, limiting it to small and movable workpieces. Handheld laser cleaning machines, on the other hand, can clean workpieces that are difficult to move and offer selective cleaning. 

2. Flexible Cleaning: Handheld cleaning allows for cleaning specific areas of the workpiece with the control of hand movements, including hard-to-reach corners, enabling deep cleaning.

3. Non-Destructive Cleaning: By adjusting and controlling laser process parameters, contaminants can be effectively removed without damaging the base material. It is non-contact and has no thermal effect.

4. Portability: Handheld cleaning guns are lightweight, making cleaning less strenuous. They are easy to carry and operate and suitable for various work environments.

5. High Precision and Controllable: When cleaning uneven workpieces, handheld laser cleaning heads can adjust the focus up and down to achieve uniform and high-precision cleaning results.

6. Low Maintenance Costs: Apart from the initial investment, portable laser cleaning machines have minimal consumables (only requiring electric power), making them environmentally friendly and energy-efficient. In addition, they do not require highly skilled operators, reducing labor and equipment maintenance costs.

Behind the efficient cleaning of handheld laser cleaning machines, there is also a significant challenge—temperature control. Components inside laser cleaning machines, such as laser sources and optical lenses, are highly sensitive to temperature changes. Excessive temperatures can shorten the lifespan of these components. The use of professional laser chillers helps extend the lifespan of these components and minimizes overall operation and maintenance costs. TEYU S&A Chiller Manufacturer, with 21 years of development, possesses strong R&D capabilities and advanced cooling technology, providing reliable cooling support for handheld laser cleaning machines. TEYU S&A RMFL Series is the rack mount laser chillers, dual-circuit cooling handheld laser welding and cleaning machines in the 1kW to 3kW range. Mini, compact and low noise. TEYU S&A CWFL- ANW series and CWFL- ENW series laser chillers feature a convenient all-in-one design, ideal for controlling the temperature for 1kW to 3kW handheld lasers. Lightweight, easy to carry, and space-saving.
