Laser Surface Treatment

Laser-based surface treatment technologies offer precise, efficient, and environmentally friendly solutions for cleaning and preparing metal surfaces. Whether removing rust and contaminants or preparing components for welding and coating, laser cleaning delivers consistent results with minimal waste and energy use. These methods are increasingly adopted in industrial environments where reliability, automation, and safety are key.

Laser cleaning is a precise and contact-free method for removing unwanted surface layers such as rust, paint, oil, oxides, and other contaminants from metal surfaces. It works by directing short, high-intensity laser pulses onto the surface, causing the unwanted material to evaporate or be ejected without damaging the underlying substrate. The process is dry, environmentally friendly, and requires no chemicals or abrasives. It offers excellent control, minimal waste, and can be fine-tuned for different material types and surface conditions. Compared to traditional methods like sandblasting, laser cleaning typically requires less energy overall and generates significantly less dust and noise, making it a safer and more efficient alternative for both operators and the environment.

The technology can be integrated into automated production lines or robotic systems for high-throughput operations. Its ability to deliver clean, repeatable results makes it a valuable tool in sectors such as shipbuilding, offshore fabrication, and structural steel manufacturing.

Handheld laser cleaning equipment is available for treatment of smaller and medium sized products.
