Laser cleaning is application in industry.
Compared with traditional cleaning methods such as mechanical friction cleaning, chemical corrosion cleaning, liquid solid strong impact cleaning and high-frequency ultrasonic cleaning, laser cleaning has obvious advantages.
1.Laser cleaning is a "green" cleaning method. It does not need to use any chemical agent and cleaning solution. The waste after cleaning is basically solid powder. It is small, easy to store and recyclable. It can easily solve the problem of environmental pollution caused by chemical cleaning.
2.The traditional cleaning method is often contact cleaning, which has mechanical force on the surface of the cleaned object, damages the surface of the object or the cleaning medium is attached to the surface of the cleaned object, which can not be removed and produces secondary pollution. The non grinding and non-contact of laser cleaning can solve these problems.
3.Laser can be transmitted through optical fiber and cooperate with manipulator and robot to realize remote operation conveniently. It can clean parts that are not easy to reach by traditional methods, which can ensure personnel safety in some dangerous places.
4.Laser cleaning can remove various types of pollutants on the surface of various materials and achieve the cleanliness that conventional cleaning cannot achieve. It can also selectively clean the pollutants on the material surface without damaging the material surface.
5.Laser cleaning has high efficiency and saves time.
6.Although the one-time investment in the purchase of laser cleaning system is high in the early stage, the cleaning system can be used stably for a long time, with low operation cost and only electricity charge per hour.
In short, it is especially suitable for metals, ceramics and rubber for tires with low cost and good effect.
Cleaning of tire molds and other molds
Every year, tire manufacturers all over the world manufacture hundreds of millions of tires. The cleaning of tire molds in the production process must be rapid and reliable to save downtime. Traditional cleaning methods include sand blasting, ultrasonic or carbon dioxide cleaning, but these methods usually have to be moved to the cleaning equipment for cleaning after the high heat mold is cooled for several hours. The cleaning takes a long time and is easy to damage the accuracy of the mold. Chemical solvents and noise will also produce problems such as safety and environmental protection. Using the laser cleaning method, because the laser can be transmitted by optical fiber, it has deep elasticity in use; Because the laser cleaning method can be connected by optical fiber to guide the light to the dead corner of the mold or the part that is not easy to remove for cleaning, it is convenient to use; Since the rubber is not gasified, it will not produce toxic gas and affect the safety of the working environment. The technology of laser cleaning tire mold has been widely used in European and American tire industry. Although the initial investment cost is high, the benefits obtained in saving standby time, avoiding mold damage, working safety and saving raw materials can be quickly recovered. According to the cleaning test carried out by the laser cleaning equipment on the production line of the tire company, the mold of a set of large truck tire can be cleaned online in only 2 hours. Compared with conventional cleaning methods, the economic benefits are obvious.
