Laser ablation Solutions for the Military Industrie - Laser Ablation Solutions for the Defence Industrie
At Lasermach, we are able to provide the laser cleaning units to allow our soldiers, airmen, marines, and sailors to maintain and operate ground equipment, electronics, armored vehicles, aircraft, ships, and other items safely, effectively, and into the future.
Whether you need corrosion or coating removal, deep cleaning, or restoration, our PhotonClean laser cleaning systems are designed to reduce the painful parts of maintenance and extend the lifespan of your military assets. In addition, laser technology will, most of the time, be faster, safer, and more efficient than traditional cleaning methods.
Common Military & Defense Laser Cleaning Applications
If your group has a distinct need for laser cleanings, we are always willing to evaluate your unique application.
Laser Coating Removal
Traditional coating-removal techniques, such as sandblasting, can be cumbersome and harmful to the materials involved. Laser cleaning, however, is capable of safely removing the coatings without damage to the substrate. Furthermore, when the laser cleaning process is complete, there is no additional cleanup or bake-out process required — the cleaned surface is ready for next steps.
Nuclear Decontamination
Laser cleaning is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional blasting methods for radiological decontamination. Our TRIDENT handheld solutions can decontaminate layers of contaminant oxides from metal and concrete surfaces, removing hazardous residue without creating additional waste.
Lasermach offers blasting technology that is efficient and gentle enough to clean metals,
potentially below the contamination threshold required for recycling.
Corrosion Control - Laser Rust Removal
Oxidation occurs when atmospheric and environmental conditions interact with metal surfaces, causing the metal to corrode, or rust. This significantly hinders the lifespan and performance of parts and equipment. While traditional methods of rust removal and corrosion control involve blasting and extensive protective equipment, laser cleaning offers a better way forward.
Laser cleaning offers a safe and much faster way to remove rust from any type of metal. It fully removes corrosion to the bare metal without altering the integrity of the metal. It also eliminates the hassle of having to dispose of hazardous waste. This means that once the cleaning is done, the job is done – providing the perfect solution for aircraft, ship, and armored vehicle maintenance.
It’s fast, safe, and it cleans without the need for any harsh media or chemicals. The quick setup and teardown time also makes laser cleaning a time saver for you and your team.
Laser Welding & Bonding Treatments
An increase in metal-bonding technologies has led to a greater need for highly effective cleaning solutions. From preparing parts and equipment for joining to removing pollutants that creep in afterwards, laser cleaning offers an environmentally friendly, cost-effective solution for any bonding application.
Laser cleaning for metals removes residues such as oils, rust, oxide, and additional contaminants without damaging the integrity of the substrate layer. This creates a more effective joining process — ensuring longer-lasting joints.
Hazardous paint removal
Laser Paint Removal
Laser cleaning provides a safe and efficient way to remove the hazardous coatings from targeted areas on ships, planes, vehicles, and equipment — without having to resort to the time-consuming process of setting up environmental protections and personal protective equipment. All that is required is the laser, a good dust aspiration system, laser safety curtains, and safety glasses
