Difference between pulse type and continuous type laser cleaning machine

Laser cleaning is currently widely used to remove paint, oil stains, stains, rust, coatings, coatings, and oxide layers on the surface of objects, covering many industries such as ships, auto repair, rubber molds, high-end machine tools, rails, and environmental protection. At present, pulse and continuous cleaning machines are very popular. Regarding the main differences and applications of these two laser cleaning machines, will give you a detailed description below.

01 Working principle

The continuous laser cleaning machine continuously irradiates the laser beam to pyrolyze and evaporate the organic matter such as dirt and oil stains on the surface of the workpiece, so as to achieve the cleaning effect. The pulse type laser cleaning machine uses intermittent laser beam irradiation to generate high-intensity heat pulses to explode and evaporate the stained surface.

02 Cleaning effect and speed

The continuous laser cleaning machine is suitable for cleaning large areas. The cleaning width is 0-300mm (adjustable). The cleaning speed is fast and cleaning effect is good. Due to the higher energy density of the laser beam, the pulse laser cleaning machine can instantly evaporate the oxides on the surface, and the cleaning effect is more gentle and basically does not damage the substrate.

03 Machine cost and service life

The service life of the laser of the pulse laser cleaning machine is relatively short, and the replacement cycle is short, while the service life of the laser of the continuous laser cleaning machine is relatively long and the cost is lower.
