What Is Laser Paint Stripping?

Laser paint stripping is a high-precision, eco-friendly technology that uses concentrated laser beams to remove coatings, paint, and contaminants from surfaces without damaging the base material. Unlike traditional abrasive blasting or chemical stripping methods, laser paint removal is non-contact, selective, and minimal waste, making it ideal for industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and manufacturing.

Why Laser Paint Stripping is Redefining Surface Preparation

Key Advantages:

• Non-Abrasive Process: Protects substrates like aluminum, carbon fiber, and steel.

• Zero Consumables: No need for sand, water, or chemicals.

• Eco-Friendly: Emits no secondary pollutants, safe for both operators and the environment.

• Selective Removal: Targets specific layers with micron-level precision.

• Automatable: Perfectly integrates into robotic arms or CNC systems for smart manufacturing.

Applications Across Industries

How Does Laser Paint Stripping Work?

The system emits a pulsed fiber laser beam tuned to a wavelength that targets the paint or coating. The energy is absorbed by the top layer, causing it to vaporize or ablate, leaving the base material intact. LaserChina’s machines, especially their handheld laser cleaning systems, deliver instantaneous feedback through sensors, enabling precision control.

Step-by-step Process:

1. Beam Calibration: Determines energy density based on coating type.

2. Targeted Irradiation: Pulsed beam is directed over the surface.

3. Layer Ablation: Coating is vaporized, exposing bare material.

4. Real-Time Monitoring: Smart sensors ensure uniform removal.
