On Site CW Laser Cleaner Test and Solution for Rolling Steel Wire Mesh Rust and Oil Removal

At the customer’s invitation, our technical engineers visited the customer’s facility to conduct a sample cleaning test using a 1500W CW laser cleaner with a 500mm cleaning width handheld galvanometer. The customer needed to automatically clean the surface of approximately 560mm wide wire mesh on a conveyor belt from thin rust and residual lubricating oil.

After testing, our engineers proposed two options, one using a 3000W CW cleaner with a maximum cleaning width of 1000mm cleaning galvo with a fixed fixture, and the other using a dual laser cleaning machine with two 1500W CW lasers and two 300mm wide cleaning galvos with a fixed fixture. Since the ultra-large cleaning width requires the use of a telecentric lens, which reduces the energy density and limits the scanning speed, the customer chose the more expensive two-in-one system to ensure the quality of the cleaning.
