Laser cleaners have become an efficient and precise tool for cleaning injection moulds. The cleaning process consists of several steps to ensure optimum cleaning results.
First, the injection mould is inspected to determine the areas that need to be cleaned. This step is critical as it helps determine the intensity and duration of laser cleaning for different parts of the mould.
Once this is determined, the laser cleaner is set up and calibrated accordingly. The power and frequency of the laser will be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the mould. During this process, safety precautions such as wearing protective glasses are taken to ensure the safety of the operator.
Next, the laser beam is directed towards the surface of the mould, concentrating on the areas to be cleaned. The high-intensity laser beam rapidly heats up the dirt, debris and contaminants on the mould surface, causing them to evaporate and decompose. The process is fast and efficient and leaves no residue.
During the cleaning process, the operator closely monitors the mould surface to ensure that all contaminants are effectively removed. The laser cleaner can be precisely controlled, allowing the operator to target specific areas and adjust the intensity of the laser beam as required.
Once the cleaning is complete, a thorough inspection is carried out to ensure that the mould is free of any residual debris or contaminants. Any areas that require further cleaning are identified and treated accordingly.
In conclusion, cleaning injection moulds using a laser cleaner is an efficient and precise process. It allows for thorough cleaning without damaging the surface of the mould, and offers significant savings in time and manpower. As technology continues to advance, laser cleaners are becoming an indispensable tool in the mould cleaning industry.
