Although abrasive blasting goes by other names—such as sandblasting, media blasting, and grit blasting—all of them refer to the process that involves forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface to clean or modify its properties. This method has been used for many years and works with a variety of applications including surface […]
THE CL2000 “A LASER CLEANING SYSTEM FOR INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS” Our CL2000 is a versatile, industrial laser cleaning system that’s the culmination of 20+ years of laser cleaning expertise between us and our German-based partners at cleanLASER. With an almost identical design to the CL1000, it includes many of the same key features that has made […]
Although specific benefits vary by process, PVD coatings are growing more popular in aerospace, military, automotive, energy, food processing, and other large manufacturing industries where there is a big emphasis on durability and longevity. With heat-resistant and friction reducing capabilities, PVD coatings are ideal for high-end products, decorative finishes, semi-conductors, and medical devices. WHAT IS […]
Our variety of powerful, highly dynamic optics all come integrated with scanning systems that allow for both handheld and automated applications. Because the optics ablate by distributing thousands of powerful pulses onto the substrate’s surface to sublimate the contaminant(s), it’s extremely important to use the correct optic for an effective clean as well as to […]
WNE 2021 DETAILS: WHAT: World Nuclear Exhibition | 550 Exhibitors | 18,000+ Participants | 55 Countries WHERE: Paris, France—Paris Nord Villepinte – Hall 7 – Booth B68 WHEN: November 30th-December 2nd 2021 WHO: Join us and our partners cleanLASER, Meliad, and Loop We’re excited to be attending our first major tradeshow since the beginning of […]
Last year we were contacted by engineers at Fleet Readiness Center East who have been working to bring laser ablation technology into their facility for some time now. Their Advanced Technology and Innovation Team and Materials Engineering Division have been specifically looking for a faster, safer, and more cost-effective approach to the media blasting processes […]
The optic is the end effector of the laser and is what is used to transmit and manipulate the laser beam. Using the right optic is important, as having the wrong one or using it improperly can result in an inefficient clean and can be harmful to the substrate, the operator, and the environment. Our […]
NEWEST HANDHELD OPTIC: The effiSCAN Along with our partners at cleanLASER, we’re continuously using customer feedback and advances in technology to update our laser cleaning systems to make them more operator-friendly and versatile. This extends to our optics, where one area of focus surrounded the size of the optic head itself, and how easy it […]
Whether it’s your first time working with one of our laser cleaning systems or you’ve had one in operation for years, we highly recommend having your operators attend our laser certification training. Led by one of our laser professionals, this training takes place on-site at the customer’s facility and typically spans 2-3 days. A tailored […]
During the laser cleaning process, the material you’re ablating will become airborne contaminants—allowing microbes and other dangerous particles to escape into the surrounding environment. In order to properly catch, store, and dispose of these particles and fumes, you’ll need a high-quality fume extraction system. Our partnership with TEKA grants us access to the best fume […]
