Laser Applications

When it comes to laser cleaning, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Equipment, armored vehicles, and aircraft are all made of different components that require different levels of care. To achieve the best results possible, it’s crucial to take into account the asset material type, the contaminant layer type and the size of the area to be cleaned. In addition, some operations or components are better suited for automated lasers, while in other instances handheld lasers are ideal. Finally, more laser power does not always mean better results – same for lower power.

Laser cleaning can also be used to remove layers of paint, oxides, mold release agents, and almost anything that will absorb the light our equipment emits. To narrow down the best solution for your operation or assets, we have a multi-million dollar laboratory to test and determine which technology solution will work best for you.

LASER CLEANING FOR ALMOST ANY APPLICATION

From cleaning tire molds to nuclear-contaminated surfaces, our lasers can be used for a variety of applications. Our expert team will guide you through the process of selecting the right cleaning laser for your needs. Common laser-cleaning applications include:

WE PROVIDE INDUSTRY-SPECIFIC LASER CLEANING TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS

We tailor our recommendations to the individual characteristics of each industry.

DEFENSE & MILITARY SOLUTIONS

Military equipment is designed for and exposed to harsh elements and warfare, making caring for it a challenging task; however, our laser technology is specifically designed to successfully clean armored vehicles, aircraft, and ships without damaging the structural integrity of warfighters’ equipment.

AEROSPACE SOLUTIONS

Our aerospace solutions are ideal for mold cleaning, coating removal and bonding preparation. While traditional methods of media blasting or abrasives have been used forever and known to damage, laser technology can be used all over the aircraft without impacting the life of the aircraft.

POWER GENERATION SOLUTIONS

Laser cleaning enables the outage time to be minimized, since it requires no cleanup. Also, cleaning without causing defects to be hidden means NDI finds issues before they cause a problem. In addition, removing nuclear contamination means your facility can get an even greater return.

INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONS

Adapt Laser’s surface preparation technology provides non-abrasive cleaning methods to maintain, extend the lifespan, and enhance safety for roads, bridges, and railroads. Our laser ablation method efficiently removes contaminants like rust and paint, ensuring structural integrity and reducing the need for frequent repairs in the infrastructure industry.

MANUFACTURING SOLUTIONS

Our surface preparation solutions for the manufacturing industry handle weld porosity and coating removal with efficiency. The laser ablation technology we use enhances weld quality, cleans oxidation, and integrates smoothly with automated systems, ensuring high-quality finishes and streamlined production processes.

AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS

Our laser systems are designed to clean with the highest quality for the process needs of the automotive industry. Cleaning metal surfaces, for instance, prior to welding results in far less porosity welds and allows for the use of higher power laser welders.

OTHER SOLUTIONS FOR UNIQUE NEEDS

If your company or organization has a distinct need where laser cleaning can potentially help, we are here to assist you. Since we have an on-site lab, we can test different types of lasers and optics to find the right solution for you.
