At present, widely used methods in the rod removal industry include mechanical polishing, chemical rust removal method, and ultrasonic rust removal method. Compared with these traditional rust removal processes, laser rust removal has certain advantages in terms of environmental protection and high precision. Then Will laser rust removal fully replace traditional craftsmanship and become the mainstream rust removal method?
Let's take a look at the advantages of laser rust removal. Compared with the traditional rust removal process, the main advantages are in the following aspects:
1. Automated assembly line: Laser rust removal machines can be integrated with CNC machine tools or robots to implement remote control rust removal, which can realize the automation of equipment to form product assembly line operations and intelligent operations.
2. Precise positioning: Use optical fiber transmission to guide laser to make it flexible, and control the optical spots through the built -in scan and vibration mirror to perform high -speed movement, which is convenient for non -contact parts such as alien parts, holes, grooves and other traditional rust removal methods that are difficult to reach. Ground laser rust removal treatment.
3. No damage: The short -term impact does not warm the metal surface and no damage to the substrate.
4. Good stability: The pulse laser used by the laser rust removal machine has a long service life. Usually the service life can reach up to 100,000 hours, the quality is stable, and the reliability is good.
5. No environmental pollution: No chemical rust removal pharmaceutical does not produce rust removal waste liquids. Pollutant particles and gases generated during the laser rust removal process can simply collect and purify the waste materials through portable air exhaust machines to avoid environmental pollution.
6. Low maintenance costs: There is no consumable consumption during the use of laser rust removal machines, and the operating cost is low. In the later period, it only needs to be regularly removed or replaced by the lens. The maintenance cost is low, which is close to maintenance.
There are also many disadvantages of laser rust removal, mainly in the following aspects?
1. The laser radiated by the laser rust removal directly illuminates the eyes and will cause irreparable damage to the retinal and cornea.
2. Laser rust removal cost is large for the first time, and the price of laser rust removal machines ranges from 30,000 to 300,000, which is large than the first investment cost of sandblasting rust and removing rust.
3. Laser rust removal volume is large and difficult to move. For example, Don Lei's hand -held laser rust removal machine weighs about 150 kg. Equipped with a 10 -meter optical fiber line, the rust removal range is only 10 meters away from the host, and the elevator needs to be used at high altitude operations, which is relatively inconvenient.
4. The width of laser rust removal scanning is about 10-20 cm, and the rust removal efficiency is one square meter per minute. This rust removal efficiency is not high, but it is just a little higher than the sandblasting efficiency. But in terms of effect, laser removal is much better.
Can laser rust removal become the mainstream rust removal process? I think it is okay. Because all the advantages of laser rust removal can be expanded, all disadvantages can be reduced. Laser is one of the fastest development industries in the 21st century. Laser rust removal machines have increased from 200 watts to 2000 watts in just 4 years. The rust removal efficiency is also growing in index type. Falling, once a critical point is surpassed, laser rust removal will explode, becoming the most popular rust removal process.
