Laser cleaning machines can be divided into two categories at present, one is continuous laser cleaning machines, and the other is pulsed laser cleaning machines.
The main difference between the two is the difference in laser sources. Continuous laser cleaning machines use continuous lasers, such as 1500w, 2000w, etc.; pulsed cleaning machines use pulsed lasers, such as 50w, 100w, 200w, 300w, etc.
They also have an important difference. After cleaning the dirt, the pulsed cleaning machine can achieve zero damage to the substrate, which is suitable for mold cleaning and other products that have high requirements on the surface of the substrate; the continuous cleaning machine cleans the dirt, which will burn the substrate at high temperature and even cause material deformation. It is used for large-area raw material cleaning, such as rust removal and paint removal of raw materials.
Pulsed laser cleaners can also clean dirt from non-metallic surfaces like wood, stone, statues, etc. Even it can clean highly reflective materials like copper for rust and paint removal. These are things that continuous laser cleaning machines cannot do.
