Fiber Laser Cleaning – An Entirely Chemical-Free Process

So many different cleaning techniques are limited by one of two factors; either they require harsh chemicals to work, or they require direct physical contact with the object in question. Chemical cleaning is problematic for ecological reasons, while any approach which requires direct contact can cause damage to potentially fragile materials.

In terms of alleviating both of these issues, fiber laser cleaning is the obvious choice. It is no surprise to see it being adopted to restore and maintain a wide variety of objects, from mechanical components to works of art.

So how does fiber laser cleaning work and what useful applications can it achieve that chemical equivalents cannot?

Versatile cleaning capabilities

As fiber lasers can be precisely controlled for a variety of applications, it makes sense that they are similarly adaptable for cleaning purposes.

Secondly, if a deeper clean is necessary, a fiber laser can be used to completely ablate the top layer of the material itself, exposing the untainted layer beneath.

This versatility means that it can take on cleaning duties across a wide range of materials, including those with textured surfaces which could not withstand alternative methods involving chemicals or physical contact of any kind. Add to that the other advantages such as its speed, efficiency and repeatability and it quickly becomes obvious why this is preferable in a cavalcade of industrial and manufacturing settings.
