In our daily consultations, we receive many questions from customers about laser cleaning machines. Today, we’ve compiled a comprehensive FAQ to help you quickly and thoroughly understand this high-energy cleaning solution!

Q1: What is the principle of laser cleaning? Will it damage the substrate?

A: Laser cleaning is a high-tech cleaning method that combines light, heat, and vibration. The laser beam is absorbed by contaminants (such as rust, paint, oil), causing them to instantly vaporize or vibrate off.

Its core advantage is "non-destructive cleaning." By precisely controlling laser parameters, energy acts only on surface contaminants without damaging metal or other substrates—ideal for high-demand scenarios like precision mold cleaning and cultural relic restoration.

Q2: How do I choose between your Pull-Rod and Cabinet laser cleaning machines?

A: This is a common question! The two models serve different purposes to meet varied customer needs:

Pull-Rod Pulsed Laser Cleaning Machine

Features: Lightweight and mobile (approx. 25kg), plug-and-play, air-cooled.

Power: 200W / 300W

Ideal for: On-site and mobile operations, small-to-medium area cleaning—such as auto repair shops, mold maintenance, and construction weld cleaning.

Cabinet Laser Cleaning Machine

Features: Higher power (300W / 500W / 1000W), water-cooled for stable operation, supports automation integration.

Ideal for: Large-scale, high-precision, automated cleaning—such as aerospace, rail transportation, shipbuilding, and large components. Can connect to robotic arms for unmanned operation.

In short: Small jobs and mobility? Choose Pull-Rod. Large-scale, precision, or automated tasks? Choose Cabinet.

Q3: Is the laser cleaning machine complicated to operate? Does it require specialized technicians?

A: Not at all! Our machines feature an intelligent LCD touch screen with a user-friendly interface and clear parameter settings. Multiple preset scanning modes (up to 8) are available—users simply select the mode matching the material and contaminant type.

With our training, beginners can typically start operating within five minutes, significantly lowering the skill barrier.

Q4: What consumables are needed? Are operating costs high?

A: This is a major highlight of laser cleaning machines—almost no consumables! The process requires no chemical cleaners, abrasives, or sand. The only consumption is electricity. This not only greatly reduces long-term operating costs but is also extremely safe and eco-friendly. Residue can be directly recycled with no secondary pollution.

Q5: What is the lifespan of core components (e.g., the laser)? Is maintenance complicated?

A: We use high-quality pulsed lasers with a design life of up to 100,000 hours—durable and long-lasting. The machine structure is stable with simple maintenance. For cabinet models, the water-cooling system requires periodic coolant checks. We provide detailed maintenance guidelines and full technical support to ensure long-term, stable operation.

Q6: What safety precautions should be taken?

A: Safety first! When operating:

Always wear professional laser safety goggles.

Ensure proper grounding and operate within suitable temperature and humidity ranges (operating temperature: 0–40°C).

Some dust may be generated during cleaning. Operate in a ventilated area or wear a dust mask.

Use the auxiliary focusing device to maintain correct focal distance, ensuring optimal cleaning results and operational safety.
