Advantages

Advantages

Non-contact technology - The material to be cleaned is not subjected to mechanical, thermal or chemical attack, therefore its structure and surface are preserved, therefore this method is suitable for working with very thin or brittle materials.

Dry cleaning - Unlike sand or dry ice cleaning processes, laser cleaning does not use expensive and hazardous materials, toxic chemicals, and does not generate a large amount of waste and dust.

Accuracy

Accuracy – The clearly defined and variable cleaning line length allows this technology to be used where high accuracy is required.

Safety

Safety Only goggles are required to operate the system, and a respirator is recommended.

Cleaning Speed – Depending on the application and system power, up to 10 times faster cleaning.

Fast Setup - The system is completely ready to work in less than 5 minutes.
