4 Reasons Our Laser Solutions are Right for Your Industry: As Told by Our Chief Technical Officer

We live and breathe laser cleaning solutions, but the businesses that need our services don’t even know we exist because all they’ve ever known are media blasting options. Slowly we’ve been helping businesses in almost every industry use our solutions to safely and effectively clean their products. From navy warships and fighter jets to historic buildings and manufacturing tire molds, we’ve just about seen it all. But, the reason our industry needs our laser solution boils down to four things.

1. OUR LASER SOLUTIONS ARE NON-DAMAGING

If you already have a cleaning solution such as sandblasting, dry ice blasting, plasma treatment, acid dip tanks, or others, then you’ve likely seen the effects these methods can have on your products. They’re dangerous, not only to the application you’re cleaning but potentially to the operators using them.

Our laser solutions work differently. Because unlike media blasting options, they don’t require a secondary cleaning process and produce little to no additional waste. So when you have hazardous coatings, you can trust that they’ll be safely removed. By using thousands of pulses per second to absorb and remove contaminants, you can get a pristine clean without impacting the integrity of your substrate — which can lead to a more reliable surface clean for welding and bonding and extends the lifespan of your product.

2. OUR LASER SOLUTIONS ARE IDEAL FOR CONFINED SPACES

If you’ve worked in the automotive manufacturing industry, then you know that an acid drip tank can take up a lot of space, and requires cleaning more surface areas than what is needed. We understand that not every product is easy to move, turn, and twist for the best angle, which is why our laser solutions don’t confine you to a stationary setup.

We provide a variety of manual and automated laser solutions that can be handheld or robotic attachments. This gives your team the flexibility they need to clean particular areas of your product or get the proper angle on a low corner. Our laser solutions work great for targeting small areas within line-of-sight. You can focus on areas that are particularly difficult to clean and remove contaminants quickly to lessen downtime.

3. OUR LASER SOLUTIONS COME WITH POST-INSTALLATION SUPPORT

Our sales process is designed to help you find the exact laser solution for your needs — accounting for all the environmental and technical aspects that can impact its performance. This process includes:

  • Bringing in your product for application testing
  • Analyzing which laser solution works best for your product
  • Coming up with a laser solution based on operational and technical specifications

When you buy a laser solution from Adapt Laser, our interactions don’t end after the purchase. Our team of experts becomes your greatest asset. We provide a full array of post-installation support — from training your team on how to properly use your laser to maintaining your product so that it works optimally every time.

4. OUR LASERS SOLUTIONS SUPPORT 24/7 MANUFACTURING

When you work in the manufacturing industry — downtime can be a production killer. That’s why products with rust, oxides, and other contaminants can create pockets of inefficiencies in your performance. They slow down your operations and can completely throw off the timing needed to streamline operations. And, cleaning your products can add to your downtime if you have to disassemble your equipment.

While laser solutions aren’t the least expensive cleaning option, they often return their revenue within the first year of use — costing less than $1 per use and reducing production downtime by being 15x faster than sandblasting. Not only are they faster, but you won’t have to disassemble products to move to a cleaning location because laser solutions are quiet and safer than media blasting alternatives. What’s why you can use our laser solutions to streamline your manufacturing for 24/7 production.
