From metal to non-metal products alike, the lifespan of your appliances can be impacted by the layers that coat them, and the methods used to clean them. This is especially true if you’ve been using media blasting options — such as plastic media blasting and sandblasting. That’s because abrasive cleaning methods can damage the substrate […]
If you’re familiar with using sandblasting or other media options when cleaning your products, then you know what to expect — a surface mostly void of contaminants, some slight damage creating a near-white finish, and secondary waste that you need to safely dispose of. The truth is that different media options impact your substrate and […]
Whether you need to protect your product or tool from rusting and oxides or you need to remove surface materials from composite parts before weld treatment, you need a cleaning method that does so efficiently and effectively. But, when it comes to choosing the right cleaning method for your business, there are many different options […]
As regulations for how to respond to COVID-19 change and become less restricting, the team at Adapt Laser is continuing to do everything in our power to make this time safer and more convenient for customers. In conjunction with the regulations governing our corporate headquarters, effective June 15th, our personnel will fully return back to […]
PVD coatings are physical — or plasma — vapor depositions and are commonly used on solar panels and watches to prevent scratching, but it can also be used for more industrial solutions. The military uses it to protect equipment from harsh elements, and the aerospace industry uses it on their rockets. Because PVD coatings are […]
From metallic baking trays and molds to conveyors, the food products manufacturing industry faces oil, grease, and other deposits regularly. Media blasting solutions can remove these contaminants, but they can also damage the products and — in some cases — leave a thin layer of contamination behind. This, among the long duration of use, can […]
Printing rollers can be used in a variety of ways — from the newspaper sector to the wallpaper manufacturing industry. Regardless of how they’re used, one thing remains the same: printing rollers must be cleaned, or they will underperform. But, cleaning these printing rollers isn’t always easy. They often have unique geometries that make it […]
Laser cleaning solutions are designed to safely and effectively absorb into and remove contaminants using thousands of laser pulses per second. From rust and oxides to hazardous coatings, laser systems are ideal for removing surface material from targeted areas without impacting the substrate. But, what about thick, dangerous, and hard-to-remove chemical resistant coatings? HOW DOES […]
Laser ablation is the process of removing contaminants using thousands of laser pulses per second. But, how does it work? Why pulses? Wouldn’t a steady stream of laser light work more efficiently? Understanding what causes our laser solutions to work is the key to learning how to leverage its power for your cleaning, bonding, and […]
Our laser systems have cleaned just about everything — from the pyramids to fighter jets for the US Air Force. And despite being in the business for almost two decades, we’re still learning the extent of what our lasers can clean. That’s because opportunities to push the boundaries continue to present themselves, and we learn […]
