WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF LASER CLEANING TECHNOLOGY? While laser technology is considered one of the safer methods for cleaning metal and non-metal materials, there are ways to abuse safety regulations and cause harm to yourself or other individuals. Cleaning lasers should never be used: Without protective eyewear Directly on the skin or body In an uncontrolled environment Without designated signage to warn of laser cleaning in progress In the immediate vicinity of unprotected individuals On anything other than it’s intended purpose Without proper air filtration In addition, cleaning non-metallic products — such as wood, paper, or plastics — should be done only with the appropriate settings and in a designated optical hazard zone. If the cleaning solution is using the wrong settings, it could ignite your appliances. As with other high-voltage items, you’ll also need the proper training to avoid electrocution and learn other electrical precautions.   Laser cleaning machine WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS, QUESTT LASER HAS A SOLUTION FOR IT Questt Laser specializes in the know-how and application of laser cleaning solutions. We offer products with a range between 20 and 1,000 watts and provide training — including laser safety procedures, equipment operations, and maintenance, and troubleshooting — to ensure your employees can get the most from their laser cleaning solutions. We’ve equipped a variety of industries and companies with laser cleaning solutions and hundreds of organizations trust our state-of-the-art laser cleaning solutions.

The global market for industrial laser systems saw strong growth last year, despite the pandemic. Preliminary data based on the first three quarters show it reached a new record high of $21.3bn, up 22 per cent versus 2020. The market for industrial laser sources also reached a new record volume of $5.2bn in 2021. These findings, obtained by market research firm Optech Consulting, were shared by the firm’s general manager, Arnold Mayer, at the recent Lasers and Photonics Marketplace Seminar, held at Photonics West in San Francisco.   ‘This growth was driven mainly through the major end industries of laser materials processing, including micro-electronics, automotive and general sheet metal processing,’ Mayer told Laser Systems Europe. ‘Demand for laser processing even picked up because the pandemic increased electronic equipment sales. Demand in the automotive industry was spurred by the transition to e-mobility; applications here mainly include high-power welding and foil cutting. Also, general sheet metal cutting saw strong demand in 2021. Despite the application having been around for decades, the technologies involved continue to grow and develop.’     For this last point he shared the example of fibre lasers, which continue to deliver more power for less cost. ‘This is opening up a lot of new market opportunities in sheet metal processing,’ said Mayer. ‘Sheet metal has traditionally been cut by stamping presses for larger lot sizes, whereas for small lot sizes, laser cutting has increasingly been used. This is now changing, however, due to laser cutting increasing in power and throughput, and becoming extremely productive.’   Preliminary data shows the global market for industrial laser systems demonstrated 22 per cent growth, to $21.3bn in 2021   Consequently, laser cutting can now compete with stamping presses and take market share for processing medium lot sizes, according to Mayer. ‘This is an ongoing process,’ he remarked. ‘There is still a lot of additional potential in sheet metal cutting that can be unlocked by lasers. This is also true for thick sheet metal, where laser cutting competes with plasma cutting.’ China continues to stimulate market growth In terms of region, China is playing an extraordinary role in stimulating the growth of the laser system market, having contributed a very high share towards global industrial manufacturing. ‘The country has now adopted laser technology to the same extent as Europe and the US, meaning it is by far the largest market for industrial laser systems,’ said Mayer. ‘This is driven in particular by sheet metal cutting, which has shown significant growth in the region in recent years, but also microelectronics manufacturing, a lot of which is now located in China.’ Lasers have become an enabling technology in the production of many microelectronic products – for example semiconductors, displays and printed circuit boards. ‘A lot of consumer electronics firms in the west have their products manufactured in China, while an increasing number of local (Chinese) firms are also having their products manufactured there,’ Mayer explained. ‘So that has opened a lot of opportunities for certain laser applications – for example, micro processing using short- and ultra-short-pulsed (USP) lasers.’ The technology proportions of the $5.2bn 2021 global market for industrial lasers, based on preliminary data     The pandemic is also a contributing factor to increased electronics manufacturing in China. According to Mayer, increased demand for home office equipment and electronic devices in general caused a surge in sales. This followed a lull in the market in 2019, when smartphone sales had previously decreased. ‘The natural bounce back of the industry following the lull, combined with increased demand during the pandemic, led to a surge in sales, which in turn launched a new investment cycle for electronics manufacturing equipment,’ Mayer remarked. One thing he did note about China though, is it isn’t competing as well in the production of high-spec lasers – these still come mostly out of Europe and the US. ‘Using USP and UV lasers as an example, those made in China usually result in a trade off between higher power and quality, whereas in Europe and the USA we see continually increasing average power, high-quality USP and UV lasers emerging,’ said Mayer. ‘Chinese laser manufacturers will undoubtedly catch up at some point, however, this will be an ongoing development process that will take time.’ Future growth segments and market forecast From past experience several lessons have been learned, according to Mayer. ‘One lesson is about where new laser processing applications will likely emerge,’ he said. ‘Two major end industries for industrial lasers are the electronics and the automotive industry. In the past, new developments in these sectors were crucial for new and extended laser applications, such as for e-mobility, handheld electronic devices and their components. This is only expected to continue. New developments in displays, for example, repeatedly occur and are expected to continue to offer new laser applications. ‘Another lesson is about which laser types are needed for new applications. Often, several laser types compete and the application selects the laser, and suppliers therefore need a portfolio of products to be well positioned to serve these new applications.’ As for how the laser systems market could develop in the future, Mayer first noted it has grown at an average annual rate of 9 per cent over the last 15 years, and that this growth trend does not show saturation. The global laser systems for material processing market, compared with the global machine tool market     ‘For the next five years, I expect continued high, single-digit market growth rates,’ he said. ‘There is plenty of application potential in the major end industries mentioned earlier: automotive, electronics and general sheet metal manufacturing. In addition, it is always worthy to observe megatrends that have an impact on industrial manufacturing, also in other industries.’ A continued high, single-digit growth rate would lift the laser systems market to a volume above $30bn within five years, corresponding to more than 30 per cent of today’s machine tool market. ‘However, I always add a cautionary footnote to this forecast,’ Mayer remarked. ‘The demand for industrial laser systems has a history of being highly susceptible to macro-economic ups and downs, similar to the demand for machine tools or semiconductor equipment. In 2009, for example, the demand for industrial laser systems decreased by more than 40 per cent, and it took several years for the market to return to its long-term growth line. Fortunately, there has been no comparable downturn for more than 10 years, but we cannot exclude that for the future.

Laser cleaning is an eco-friendly process used to remove rust, paint, oxide and other contaminants from metal surfaces. Because of its efficiency, it is being used in an increasing number of applications. Laser cleaning requires a pulsed fiber laser (typically 50 watts or more). Traditional industrial cleaning methods are often seen as tedious (and for good reasons). Rust removal can be time and labor consuming. Oxide removal may involve hazardous chemicals specific to each material that needs to be removed. In some cases, paint removal by sandblasting can damage the metal underneath. Dealing with these problems usually comes at a significant cost, but laser cleaning is changing this: it is a cost-effective solution that reduces cleaning times and maintenance. If you are skeptical about these claims regarding laser technical terms, you can imagine that the layer to be removed is simply vaporized by the laser beam.   1. All Materials Have an Ablation Threshold Laser ablation occurs when a material layer or a coating is removed with a laser beam. This is the process behind all laser cleaning applications. Take laser rust removal on steel. When the beam hits the surface, molecular bonds in the dust or rust layer are broken and ejected from the substrate. In less technical terms, you can imagine that the layer to be removed is simply vaporized by the laser beam.   Laser Ablation:     A simple way to grasp the importance of the ablation threshold is to compare it to throwing a ball over a wall. If you don't throw it high enough, it will never make it over to the other side. Even if you throw the ball a thousand times, you will always fail. The same applies to laser derusting. You can shoot the laser beam a thousand times but as long as the energy is below the ablation threshold of the material you’re working with, nothing will ever be removed. Now, every material has different properties and thus different molecular bonds. In other words, each material has a specific ablation threshold. To successfully remove a layer from a given material, the energy transferred by the laser beam must be above the ablation threshold of that particular material. 2. It is Possible to Remove a Material in a Highly Selective Way Let's continue with our analogy. Imagine there was a second, higher wall behind the first one and that a ball was thrown with just enough energy to make it over the first wall, but not enough to make it over the second. The ball would bounce off the second wall and fall in between the two walls. Once again, no matter how many times you throw the ball, you will always get the same result. You will make it past the first wall but never the second. Since there is an ablation threshold for each material, laser cleaning can discriminate between two or more materials when trying to remove an undesired layer from an object. Given a sufficiently large ablation threshold difference between the materials, it is possible to select a material to be removed (i.e., the one with the lower ablation threshold) while leaving the other material untouched. For example, the rust ablation threshold is much lower than the threshold for common metals like steel and aluminum. The same goes for paint and oil. This vast gap between two values allows contaminants and coatings to be completely vaporized without any risk of damaging the base material underneath. There's just not enough energy for damage to happen. 3. A Strong and Short Power Burst Means Faster Removal You can think of laser ablation as similar to carving stone with a hammer and a chisel. You can use a small hammer and do many small hits on your chisel. Or, you could just as well use a bigger hammer to leverage more power, hence reducing the required number of hits and increasing the removal speed. The idea is the same with laser cleaning, except that you only want to remove a layer of material: the contaminant. Fiber laser cleaning systems can remove any given layer using two different methods. Either the laser beam is a continuous wave of light, or it is pulsed at a given repetition rate. Even if the result is pretty much the same, the removal speed varies a lot according to the method. Removal Speed: Continuous vs. Pulsed Lasers   For a given surface area, putting the same energy within a short pulse increases the power. It’s like using the bigger hammer. A pulsed laser beam is more efficient and provides a faster removal speed than a continuous beam. And while short laser pulses clean surfaces faster, they also ensure that the underlying material does not heat up too much.   4. It is Consumable-Free and Environmentally Friendly As this cleaning method only uses a laser beam to vaporize the layer to be removed, there are literally no consumables with it. This is the beauty of lasers, which only need a power plug to be set and ready to go. On top of this, lasers use no chemical products or solvents. This makes laser surface cleaning one of the safest solutions when it comes to rust and coating removal. Not only is there no chemical waste to take care of, but employees are totally safe when working near laser cleaning machines, which are designed to meet international laser safety standards. Employees won't need personal protective equipment and won't have to handle those pesky chemicals. That being said, since laser cleaning vaporizes materials into fumes, you should have a fume extraction system near the laser to ensure that no paint, oil or dust particles are released into the air.   5. Laser Cleaning is of Interest for Various Industrial Applications Removing the burnt rubber residue from tire molds; giving a new life to old pipelines; cleaning pipes in nuclear power plants; and even larger projects such as removing paint from a rusty bridge and preparing welding surfaces are all projects that can benefit from industrial laser cleaning. This non-contact cleaning technique can be used in countless industrial applications. The only limit is the capacity to discriminate between the material to be removed and the one to be protected. At the moment, the most common laser cleaning applications include: Welding pre-treatments to remove rust and other contaminants from welding areas Welding post-treatments to remove aluminum and stainless-steel oxides Laser surface preparation to maximize paint adhesion Laser oxide removal from specialty alloy ingots Coating removal just after the coating process to replace part masking in production lines Depainting parts that would otherwise be scrapped due to paint defects Laser ablation is not only used for cleaning, it's also widely used for other industrial applications.   In Summary Laser cleaning solutions can overcome many of the problems faced with rust removal and other industrial cleaning applications. By selecting a specific material to be removed, fiber lasers offer a fast, as well as a set-and-forget solution for many industries.

The increasing awareness of environmental protection has brought enormous challenges to the development of cleaning industry around the world. Responding to this situation, various cleaning technologies that are conducive to environmental protection have emerged, among which laser cleaning machine is becoming more and more popular for industrial sectors. The so-called laser cleaning technology refers to the use of a high-energy laser beam to illuminate the surface of the workpiece, so that the dirt, rust or coating on the surfaces is instantaneously evaporated or peeled off. Laser cleaning is a new technology based on the interaction between laser and materials. Unlike traditional mechanical cleaning, chemical cleaning or ultrasonic cleaning (wet cleaning process), laser cleaning machine does not require any CFC-based organic solvents that can destroy the ozone layer and damage the environment. Laser rust removal tool provides a green cleaning method with no noise, harmless to the human body and the environment.   Compared with traditional cleaning methods, laser cleaning has distinct advantages: It is efficient, fastand cost-effective with low heat load and mechanical load on the substrate. The whole cleaning process won’t damage the original material, only contamination or rust is removed from material surface; It is safe and reliableas it won’t damage the health of operators; It can remove various coatings of different thicknesses and ingredients; The cleaning process is easy to be automatically controlled.

Advantages of using laser cleaners in your industry There are multiple benefits of using laser machines for rust removal from your products. This will not only help you in speeding up your process of production/repair but also will give you a cost-effective solution. Here are a few other benefits of the laser cleaners for metallic rust and non-metallic substrates: The method of laser rust cleaning is largely automated and easily controllable from a remote location. Furthermore, the automation and integration with the existing systems provide an easy and tech-savvy investment for businesses. The laser cleaning process is chemical-free. This makes laser cleaning methods as much safer to use in the foods and medicine industry. The chemical composition of the material does not change with laser cleaning. This makes laser cleaning technology the first choice for cleaning chemically safe containers. There is no need for the application of high-pressure blasting mechanisms to rub out the rust. The final product after laser cleaning is much finer than other methods of cleaning. Total manpower and working time are reduced manifolds. Thus, saving you time and money at the same time. Precise and spot cleaning is easier with laser cleaning methods Moreover, with laser cleaning it is easier to reach the corners and nooks of complicated design objects. It is easier to manage the laser cleaning machines than the conventional methods of cleaning.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is in full swing. During the opening ceremony and the preparations for the Winter Olympics, many places have laser applications. Let’s see which links have laser applications? 1. The Five Rings of Ice and Snow In the opening ceremony, one of the shocking images was that the "Ice Cube" was "carved" into five rings, 24 laser cutters were projected from a height, and the carving was reversed. The ice hockey player hit the "ball" with a swing, and the "ice cube" gradually shattered, and the huge five rings of ice and snow revealed their true appearance, slowly rising, and the five rings broke out of the ice. From the Water Cube to the Ice Cube, under the use of 24 "laser knives" surrounding the audience, the crystal clear Olympic rings were carved out. The 24 laser-engraved ice cubes representing the 24th Winter Olympics mean "engraving history, engraving time". The host cities of the past 23 Winter Olympics appeared one after another, and the final format was "Beijing, China 2022".   2. Winter Olympic torch The 1268 decorative patterns in the "Feiyang" torch of the Winter Olympics are engraved by laser. The "Feiyang" torch is mainly divided into three parts: the outer streamer, the inner streamer and the hydrogen burning device. It is the first time in the world that the outer shell adopts carbon fiber composite material, and it is manufactured by the country's first and world-leading three-dimensional weaving device. The woven coat is just the soft "skeleton" of the torch, and then special resin is injected into it, and it becomes a solid shell after curing and molding. Then grind, spray, and then use laser engraving to engrave 1268 patterns on the torch body, and finally complete the overall assembly. 3. Writing on the cloud On the evening of February 4, 2022, the Shenzhen branch of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics used a laser to write on the cloud and type "five rings" as a gift for the Winter Olympics. Under the blessing of Appotronics ALPD laser technology, four dazzling laser beams rushed into the sky. For the first time in the world, lasers were used to write the four characters "One World, One Family" on the cloud, and the "Five Rings" logo was printed on the cloud. Winter Olympics cheers. 4. Snow screen In the China National Ski Jumping Center known as "Xue Ruyi", there is a high-tech "snow screen", which is a full-color laser projection jointly developed by Hefei Panchromatic Light Display Technology Co., Ltd. and the University of Science and Technology of China. machine.
