200W Handheld Pulse Laser Cleaning Machine
$7000 ~ $8000Is a 200 W laser cleaner enough to remove rust?
Yes, for light to medium rust on parts and tools. HeatSign’s sales engineers estimate about 2 m² an hour on medium rust with the 200 W. Heavy, pitted rust over large areas goes faster with a 300 W or 500 W.
Can the 200 W strip paint or powder coat?
It strips thin paint and varnish well. Powder coat and thick paint come off slowly with 1.5 mJ pulses; the 300 W, with 5 mJ pulses, does them in fewer passes.
Will it run on a standard 110 V outlet?
Yes. Order the 110 V version and plug it into a normal shop outlet; it draws under 600 W. We also build it for 220 V and fit the plug for your country.
Does it need compressed air or a water chiller?
No. The 200 W is air-cooled and needs no compressed air, no chiller and no water. You plug in one power cord.
Will it damage the metal underneath?
Not at the right settings. Short pulses remove rust and coatings faster than they heat the base metal, and 1.5 mJ is gentle on thin and polished parts. Test on a scrap piece first.
How heavy is it, and how far can the gun reach?
The machine weighs 22 kg in its case, and the cleaning gun weighs 0.62 kg. The gun sits on a 5 m fiber cable, so you can reach around a part without moving the machine.
Is a pulsed laser cleaner better than a continuous one?
For parts, molds and thin sheet, yes: pulsed lasers leave little heat in the part. Continuous-wave cleaners cost less and are fast on heavy rust over big steel areas, but they can discolor or warp thin metal.
What safety gear do I need?
It is a Class 4 laser. Everyone nearby needs goggles rated for 1064 nm, and US practice is to name a laser safety officer. Use a fume extractor at the gun when you clean paint, galvanized steel or old coatings.
