Allied Scientific Pro (ASP) has developed and manufactured a laser cleaning system to replace traditional blast media methods, sand, glass beads, or dryice. Offering full control over a wide range of parameters allows for precise cleaning with the ability to retain patinas or industrial parts intact.
With a long legacy of expertise in laser nano and micro machining processes, ASP is capable of offering a state of the art laser system to address the needs of industrial applications. Our laser system is compact, robust, and has a long lifetime with low or no maintenance for years. We are using the latest laser and scanner technology to offer high-quality performance and speed efficient cleaning without causing damage to the object.
ASP laser laboratory services can assist by establishing optimal parameters for your application.
- 5 meters or more optical fiber delivery for remote access
- Short pulse with no thermal effect
- Low cost of operation
- Water-cooled, which helps preserve the building
- One worker's operation
Application
- Black steel A106 Grade B for pipeline ( see video section)
- Welding preparation of surfaces
- Rust and oxidation cleaning
- Surface smoothing varnish
- Surface texturing for paint adhesion
- Turbo engineer combustion chamber cleaning for a power plant
- Radioactive surface cleaning for a nuclear plant
- Part grease cleaning
- Coating removal
- Corrosion treatment
Key advantages:
- Reduce total effective cost per sq/ft by 40% to 60%, depending on the material
- Reduce labor cost: only 1 operator
- Avoid damaging the material base substrate
- No need for water, avoid water infiltration
- No need for chemical
- Reduce 90% of toxic waste disposal cost: solvent, media blasting, liquid waste
- Reduce risk of injury at work
- Environmental friendly
- Reduction in injury rate
- Reduce the cost of protective clothing
- Increase the lifetime of the substrate you are trying to conserve
- Zero consumables
- Zero preparation cost
- Easy on scheduling
Note: Effective cost includes: labor, preparation time, damage prevention, power consumed, amortized equipment cost, consumable material costs, and residue disposition costs.
