Entlacken: mit Laser Lack entfernen

Simply remove paint

When it comes to stripping surfaces, this is usually only possible with a lot of patience and caution. Whether spatula, grinding machine or with chemical agents such as strippers or paint removers – toxic fumes and fine dust are produced and we do not have to talk about the high time required and possible multiple treatments.

With laser light, paints are simply vaporized by light reflection and microexplosions and extracted as air particles. The material can be directly post-treated and repainted. And not only paint stripping is possible via laser cleaning, but even dechroming, for example, in order to be able to re-powder coat bumpers.

Paint stripping by laser: this is how it works

In order to remove varnish from objects, the setting on the laser cleaning device must be specifically selected for this application. The oscillating light waves of the laser then simply evaporate the paint on the surface. The object treated in this way can be treated directly, for example with a primer or repainting. We will be happy to show you this live – with us or with you.

Fibre lasers are characterised by their good weight-to-size ratio, small size, mobility and flexibility, and low power consumption. They are widely used for laser cleaning because they provide precise control and high energy density. This level of control is essential for removing paint effectively without damaging the underlying metal, or for achieving controlled surface texturing in preparation for recoating.

Stainless steel reacts more strongly to invasive laser pulses and shows marks earlier. If this is desired – for example, to activate the material or for deep cleaning – a high energy density can be used. If not, a gentler approach is needed, often with a Top Hat laser. Aluminium is generally less scratch-sensitive than tool steel. Here, the Gaussian pulse laser can be used invasively with high energy density, or non-invasively with low energy density. Both methods are highly effective for their intended purpose.

Different materials and corrosion types require specific laser parameters to clean effectively without damaging the substrate. This involves using pulse durations between 20–500 ns in combination with peak power to achieve the desired result. Pulse frequency indirectly affects heat input and peak power. While this allows for a wide range of adjustments, it must be set by a specially trained manufacturer and cannot be achieved through basic preset settings.
