Like any other large piece of machinery, your laser cleaning system will need routine servicing and general maintenance to ensure optimal performance. To help with this, we take our post-installation support seriously and have tailored service contracts that include guaranteed response times and critical spares on-site. Because not all companies need the same level of […]
Until recently, a broken fiber optic would mean an immediate and unavoidable cease in laser operations. Your laser cleaning system would be out of commission until one of our trained laser service technicians could perform a fiber swap. Due to the fiber optic’s fragility, a fiber swap can take upwards of 10 hours—even when done […]
Depending on your application, your laser cleaning system will operate using either a handheld or an automated optic. Both optics have their own benefits and limitations, and determining the right optic will be important to get the best treatment for your substrate. Handheld optics offer advanced mobility and allow you to adjust and maneuver around […]
To supply lasers that function in different environments and offer full mobility, we’ve worked on optimizing protective housing for internal components. This includes the umbilical housing that holds the fiber optic, coolant supply, and signal cables. Our umbilical housing has stood out over competitors because of the advanced protection it offers—most specifically for the fragile […]
Since opening our doors at our Kansas City location, we’ve invited customers to come and do an on-site visit to our applications lab as a first step to purchasing a laser cleaning system. When COVID-19 limited travel and forced many companies to close their doors to the public, we knew we had to quickly implement […]
Laser ablation is one of the best cleaning solutions for metal molds. It effectively removes sticky and thick contaminants for uniform results, time and time again. Not only can laser systems be automated to promote mass production, but they’re also quicker than some abrasive alternatives. But, are laser cleaning solutions the most practical and effective […]
Laser cleaning technology is considered one of the safest alternatives for hazardous coating removal, bonding and welding treatment, and other contaminant removal processes. That’s because laser ablation requires very little PPE and makes disposal of hazardous waste a breeze. But, what makes it so safe? And, why is it the ideal solution for most hazardous coating removal? […]
Performance and reliability are the backbone of the aerospace industry. Oftentimes, however, methods of cleaning aircraft and preparing them for coating and bonding are stuck in the past. Despite being at the cutting edge of flight technology, many aerospace companies have failed to take advantage of modern advances in parts cleaning that can save them […]
If you have a laser application — whether for cleaning or etching — you need a fume extraction filter unit. That’s because these powerful filtration systems make it safer for you to operate your laser. During the laser cleaning process, hazardous contaminants are safely absorbed and captured by the filter unit. This prevents dangerous chemicals […]
When you purchase a laser solution from Adapt Laser, you’re also offered the opportunity for remote support services. How quickly or often you get this support is based on your unique needs and is typically outlined in your contract. The more support you need, the more you’ll likely pay, but the true cost of remote […]
