Here are three examples of laser cleaning metal with Laserax’s laser cleaning systems. Laser cleaning rust, Laser weld cleaning, and Laser paint removal.
In this first video, watch as Laserax’s LXQ 3D Vision removes rust from an oxidized steel pipe. The use of machine vision in this application may be overkill but it is still a very impressive demonstration of what can be achieved with an industrial laser cleaning system from Laserax.
Stainless steel welds always exhibit heat stains and other messiness, the following video shows how Laserax’s industrial laser cleaner gets rid of those stains in an automated and highly repeatable way. The result is a nice clean weld that would make the most scrutinous customer happy.
This third video demonstrates the localized paint stripping that can be easily automated thanks to Laserax’s laser cleaning. The areas depainted by the laser beam are ready for welding, touch-up and other localized post-treatments.
Here are the main advantages of Laserax laser cleaning:
Laserax Modular ApproachTM is composed of the following:
Lasers: The performance of the system is largely determined by the laser. Laserax’s primary focus is to provide lasers specifically adapted to metal processing.
Options: Laserax’s options provide the flexibility that is required for successful implementation in your factory.
Enclosures: With any one of Laserax’s Class 1 enclosure, there are no other measures required to provide a safe working environment.

When bonding, coating, painting, printing or sealing, most manufacturers eventually experience adhesion failure, corrosion protection issues, or structural weaknesses. In this article, we will explain what surface treatment is and describe its benefits for various applications. We will also guide you in choosing among today’s 10 most common surface treatment methods.
Removing surface contaminants is an essential step that directly impacts the performance and durability of materials and components. Understanding surface contamination helps compare standard decontamination methods and how laser technology differentiates from traditional approaches.
Laser surface treatments can be used on almost all types of metals, including carbon steel, cast iron, aluminum, molybdenum, and magnesium. They can remove contaminants and coatings (laser cleaning), modify the surface roughness (laser texturing), harden surfaces (laser hardening), and add materials to surfaces to improve surface properties (laser cladding).
