Touchless Precision Cleaning

The JETLASER is ergonomically designed for handheld use but can also be integrated with a robot for automated processing. Lightweight, the JETLASER is powered by fiber-coupled, maintenance-free solid state lasers and is connected to a rugged mobile supply unit.
Cleaning with the JETLASER is an ecological and dry process and is chemical-free. It is ideal for:
- Rubber, plastics, food and composite mould cleaning
- Rust/oxide removal of metals before or after welding
- KTL paint removal to eliminate masking processes
- Devarnishing
- Surface preparation before coating or bonding operations
Super-fast Laser Cleaning
The JETLASER is available in power levels ranging from 100W to 2kW average laser power.
Using a 200W system, moulds can be cleaned at 4-5cm²/sec; paint removal at 5-7cm²/sec; rust removal at 8-10cm²/sec.
To put the speed of JETLASER into perspective, one of our customers tasked one of their apprentices to clean a mould using a well-known brand of industrial abrasive. The process took 4 weeks.
That same mould has recently been cleaned again using a JETMASTER system. The process took all of 25 minutes.
