Success Stories
Adapt Laser technology is versatile and effective for countless industries, including military and defense, manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace, among others. Read below some of our success stories to see how we’ve made things easier and more cost-effective for a myriad of organizations, including the United States Air Force, as well as regular businesses across the country.
Laser Ablation Proves Effective for DOT Bridge Project
To validate advanced surface preparation technology using laser ablation coating removal (LACR) on-site as part of an innovative bridge preservation project for the Connecticut DOT. Coatings to be removed were considered to be hazardous as they may contain lead.
Laser Lead Abatement in an Occupied Hangar
Removing lead-based paint from over 25,000 spots inside the occupied Hangar 101-NAS Jacksonville was no small task. Traditional methods of lead abatement were taking too long — and putting employees at risk. See how we were able to create a customized laser cleaning solution for this project.
Nuclear Decontamination by Laser Ablation
Industry-standard methods of nuclear decontamination create a significant amount of radwaste and are taxing on operators. We tested laser ablation to see if it could be an effective alternative. The results were overwhelmingly positive.
Removing Corrosion & Coatings
A demonstration of our CL1000 lasers proved to the US Navy that our solutions are safe and effective enough for coating removal of aircraft equipment.
COMPOSITE PARTS TOOL CLEANING
We provide laser cleaning solutions to remove residue from large-scale tool manufacturing without altering the shape or size of the items cleaned.
ELECTRIC CARS WELDING
Our laser technology provides pre-welding treatment for better adhesion and a thorough joint seal to prevent moisture from seeping in.
SAFELY REMOVING LEAD/ASBESTOS CONTAINING COATINGS
Major nuclear power plant operators turn to Adapt Laser for their efficient and safe solutions. After testing our high-powered 1,000-watt solution, they deemed it a success for effectiveness, safety, and scalability.
Removing Hazardous Paint from Warships
The US Navy has adopted our laser solutions to help remove hazardous coatings and improve operational efficiencies. It all started with a demonstration on the USS Carl Vinson.
Radiology Decontamination
When our laser systems were tested for effectiveness in cleaning hazardous contaminants, this nuclear power plant discovered it’s not only faster but is also safer than traditional methods of cleaning.
Creating a New Cleaning Process for the Corvette
In order to prepare composite parts for GM’s 2020 Corvette, we created a new process using laser ablation that has been fine-tuned and proven to create a stronger bond.
Historic Restoration on the Jefferson Memorial
Laser ablation safely removes contaminants without impacting the integrity of the substrate. This is essential for historic restoration projects. When a mysterious biofilm plagued the top of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. our customer, CSI/Evergreene — alongside other laser cleaning experts — were called in to solve the problem.
USAF AGE CORROSION CONTROL
Our CL1000 lasers are used by the US Air Force as a safe and effective way to remove rust and corrosion from their aircraft.
