After reading this article, you will have a general understanding!
First of all, a clear concept is that the laser cleaning machine is difficult to have a fixed price, and there will only be a general price range. This is because laser cleaning machines are generally customized.
The same is 200W air-cooled handheld laser washing machine, some manufacturers used to remove rust and paint the tire mold to remove carbon deposits, Some manufacturers to chip PCB circuit board coating, the former may need more fast and efficient, control system will require the installation of PIC, the latter hope to real-time monitoring of relevant data, will require the installation of PLC; Gaussian or flat-top light, pulse or continuous, QCS or QBH, all to be specific.
And in order to achieve the best cleaning effect of the corresponding substrate to be cleaned, it is usually necessary to adjust the corresponding parameters such as fiber length, field mirror depth of focus, output power, pulse width and scanning speed according to the characteristics of different substrates.
The price of the same type of laser cleaner in the small power segment is often slightly different, not to mention the laser cleaner in the ultra-high power segment: it is used for aerospace, Ship high-speed rail and other large equipment paint more than 8000W composite laser cleaning machine, generally according to the customer's equipment site, the use of the environment and other conditions to re-design and manufacture, the price is often measured after the field to determine.
It can be said that the laser cleaning machines purchased by different customers will not be exactly the same. That's why they don't have accurate pricing.
Even so, the cleaning equipment of the same power segment still has a general price range in the market, such as 100 ~ 300W laser cleaning machine, and now the market price is generally between 150-400 thousand; The price of 1000W washing machine is between 1-1.2 million. According to the technical process of each manufacturer, the degree of professionalism and so on fluctuate.
So still need to communicate according to their own needs, do not be too obsessed with fixed prices.
So what are the advantages and disadvantages of laser cleaning compared to other cleaning methods?
The advantage is that it is superior to all traditional industrial cleaning methods in terms of cleaning ability technology and process;
The disadvantage is that the development time is too short and the development speed is not fast enough. At present, the full range of industrial cleaning has not been covered.
Traditional industrial cleaning has various drawbacks:
Sandblasting cleaning will cause damage to the substrate, resulting in a large amount of dust pollution, if the small power sandblasting pollution in the closed box is relatively small, in the open space for high-power sandblasting, will bring huge dust problems;
Wet chemical cleaning will have cleaning agent residue, cleaning efficiency is not high enough, it will affect the base material acidity and hydrophobicity of the surface, and will cause environmental pollution.
Dry ice cleaning costs are high, for example, the tire factory ranked around 20-30 in the country, the use of dry ice cleaning process for a year of supplies costs close to 80-1.2 million. And the secondary waste generated by it is inconvenient to recycle;
Ultrasonic cleaning can not remove the coating, can not clean soft materials, and the sub-micron particle pollution is powerless;
In general, these cleaning processes have various inconveniences and cannot meet the requirements of environmental protection or efficiency in the manufacturing cleaning process.
The advantage of laser cleaning is that it is non-contact, more accurate and clean at the technical level, can be remotely controlled, selectively removed, and can achieve semi-automated or fully automated unmanned workshops. For example, in the application of selective removal of the paint layer, laser cleaning can be accurately removed to a certain layer of the micron level, and the surface quality after removal reaches the Sa3 level (the highest level), surface hardness, roughness, hydrophobicity, etc. can be preserved to the maximum extent.
At the same time, unit cost, energy consumption, efficiency and other aspects are better than other cleaning methods. For the environment, it is possible to achieve industrial level zero pollution.
As for the disadvantages, the disadvantage of laser cleaning machine is that the development speed is not fast enough. At present, it has not yet covered the full range of industrial cleaning, and the industrial fields of large-scale applications are basically concentrated in the end markets such as molds and metal materials. In the high-end cleaning market, such as ship overhaul paint removal work, also began to try to use laser cleaning equipment instead of traditional cleaning, in terms of efficiency compared to chemical cleaning, high-pressure water cleaning and other traditional methods, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
