Portable Laser Cleans Parts
January 2, 2024Comments
Rocklin Mfg. has introduced the MobiLase laser cleaner, a portable fiber laser cleaner housed in an all-in-one, 60-lb. rolling suitcase. The 100-W fiber laser rapidly removes rust, paint, oil, grease, dirt and more by cleaning the material or coating while not disrupting the part itself.
Unlike other cleaning alternatives, there is no need for grinding, blasting, solvents, water or chemicals via the MobiLase dry laser-cleaning process. Simply point the 1.4-lb., handheld applicator at the surface and move the laser to where a clean surface is desired. The short pulse duration combined with a small output beam diameter delivers precise surface-level cleaning wherever it’s needed, according to company officials.
Few settings on the accompanying wireless device enable simple programming either wirelessly or offline as desired. The cleaning process begins by double-clicking a trigger on the handheld applicator, while laser glasses, gloves and fume-extraction options are available for added safety protection. The fiber laser source is rated to 100,000 hr. of use with minimal maintenance required.
