With the development of science and technology, hand held laser cleaning machines, as an emerging cleaning technology, are gradually changing this situation. This article will explore in depth the principles, advantages, application scenarios and future development prospects of handheld laser cleaning machines.

1. Working principle of hand held laser cleaning machine

Handheld laser cleaning machines rely on the characteristics of light pulses generated by lasers, based on the photophysical reaction caused by the interaction between high-intensity beams, short-pulse lasers and contamination layers.
Its principles can be summarized as follows:

  • The beam emitted by the laser is absorbed by the contamination layer on the surface of the workpiece to be processed;
  • The fast and concentrated pulse impacts the residue on the surface of the workpiece with great power, gasifying the residue on the surface of the workpiece. The high-power beam emitted by the laser makes the surface of the workpiece absorb higher energy, thereby forming a rapidly expanding plasma (highly ionized unstable gas), generating shock waves, and turning the contaminants on the surface of the workpiece into fragments and removing them.

2. Advantages of hand held laser cleaning machines

  • Simple operation, all-round application, easy handheld operation, and the surface or interior of the product can be cleaned wherever the laser can reach.
  • High cleaning efficiency. After simple learning, novices can quickly get into work, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and reduce subsequent processing work. Depending on the size of the machine model, 15~45㎡ can be cleaned per hour.
  • Fewer consumables and cost-saving. Only electricity and gas are needed, and the demand for consumables is small; compared with traditional cleaning methods, one machine can save 3~6 labor costs a year, reducing corporate costs.

3. Application scenarios of hand held laser cleaning machines

As a modern green cleaning technology, laser cleaning technology is a product of industrial development in the new era and is widely used in industrial production.
It is mainly used for laser cleaning and surface laser pretreatment of metal surfaces such as molds, metal products, ships, automobiles, medical equipment, sheet metal/spraying. Laser cleaning of oil stains and oxide layers on the surface of metal materials before welding can significantly improve welding quality and weld firmness.

4. UMW product parameters
