The CL 500iM is a compact, mid-power laser system designed to deliver efficient, high-performance cleaning and surface preparation in a highly mobile format. Combining 500 watts of reliable laser power with a lightweight, air-cooled design, it offers up to 30% socket efficiency while remaining easy to maneuver and simple to operate. Engineered for hand-guided applications, its soft, homogeneous beam ensures precise, controlled processing—making it an ideal solution for everything from rust removal to weld pre- and post-treatment.
The CL 500iM uses a precise, soft laser beam to remove rust, coatings, and residues without harming the underlying surface. Fully air-cooled and easy to handle, it allows continuous operation while the integrated suction nozzle captures smoke and dust. With the cleanTOUCH portal, you can monitor and control the system remotely for safe and efficient laser processing.
