Laser cutting is one of the most advanced and precise manufacturing methods used today. You might be familiar with laser cutting flat surfaces, such as metal sheets. But when it comes to cutting a cylinder like a pipe or tube, many get confused and ask: How to laser cut a cylinder? Actually, cylindrical surfaces have…
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…
Laser marking is a modern technique that uses high-power laser light to produce a permanent mark. The laser directly interacts with the material, changing its texture or appearance. There are various types of laser marking machines that are suited to specific applications. None of them requires any physical parts or inks to create marks. Where…

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…
A laser welding machine is widely used across various regions. Nowadays, it is widely used to make many modern parts and components. The aerospace, automotive, electronics, and medical sectors widely use it. When you are considering switching to laser, understanding the laser welding machine components is necessary. A laser welding machine works on both thin…
Welding is a common method for joining metal parts and is widely used in metal fabrication industries. In real production, metal parts come in many shapes, sizes, and angles. So, the weld seam is rarely the same. It may be flat, overhead, horizontal, or mixed. Because of these variants, it’s not practical to use the…
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;…
