The working principle of the CW laser cleaning machine is continuous irradiation. Heat is steadily conducted inside the material. The laser heats the area, causing contaminants to melt or burn. This enables large-area and high-speed peeling. Although this method is highly efficient, it can easily lead to micromelting and surface deformation of the metal substrate….

Before, people cleaned things the old-fashioned way, with chemicals, sandblasting, or sanding. All of these methods are pretty messy and time-consuming. You will need more hands to handle. To clean well, you need skilled hands, too. Besides, chemical cleaning poses environmental risks. Industrial laser cleaning is now being used more and more widely in modern…

The laser cleaning service cost in 2026 typically ranges from EUR 50–100 per hour in Europe, and USD 200+ per hour in the United States, depending on laser power level, project complexity, and regional labor costs. For high-power industrial applications such as heavy rust removal or large steel structure cleaning, service pricing exceeds these averages.

Rust and old paint removal is often done using chemical or mechanical methods. Although these methods are cheap, they are not as precise as laser technology. They also can not always provide perfect cleaning results. In some cases, they can damage metal parts and affect surface quality, making the rust and pain removal messy and…

Aluminum is one of the most widely used metals on Earth. Since it is lightweight, it offers the best solution for portable items. You can think of electronic housings, auto parts, kitchen appliances, aerospace components, and many more. Consequently, welding is a must when making those aluminum products. In this “How to Remove Aluminum Oxide”…

In the field of industrial cleaning, the choice of equipment is often faced with a dilemma: does the heavy-duty cleaning task of pursuing extreme efficiency and the absolute precision of the mold cleaning have to be done by two different machines? HANTENCNC’s 1000W and 2000W high-power pulsed laser cleaning machines offer a game-changer: one machine…

Does laser cleaning damage metal? First, the answer is Yes: laser cleaning can affect the metal surface, but the extent of the damage is controllable, often at a micrometer level. Laser cleaning generally falls into two categories: continuous and pulse cleaning. Continuous laser cleaning will definitely damage the metal surface, usually by tens of micrometers;…

Recently, a customer contacted HANTENCNC to inquire about purchasing a 300W laser cleaning machine for restoring old building facades, wooden doors, wooden stairs, windows, and other small objects. He is considering a 15 mJ model, but He has also been recommended a 5 MJ one. He asks us to provide guidance on choosing the right…

Rust removal is very common in metalworking, and we are very familiar with it. From maintenance work to manufacturing, you need to do it to produce better-quality parts. Traditional methods, such as sandblasting or chemical cleaning, are messy. These methods may degrade the surface. To preserve the metal surface and the part’s quality, you must…
