Composite Mold Cleaning

Composite Mold Cleaning

It can be difficult to remove stubborn mold-release agents, product residues — such as oxides and grease — without damaging the substrate of your product. But, failing to remove these contaminants can cause your disruptions to your process and create pockets of inefficiencies — or worse — incorrect part geometries. That’s why you need a media cleaning option that’s both tough on contaminants, but gentle on your product.

Laser cleaning not only removes your contaminants, but it also preserves the integrity of your product — expanding its lifespan in the process. Laser ablation uses thousands of focused laser pulses per second to absorb and remove surface contaminants safely. Each laser is designed for continuous duty and high-reliability with technology that is virtually maintenance-free. Plus, our systems are constructed using a modular design — enabling optimal configuration to meet each one of your specific requirements.

BENEFITS OF LASER CLEANING

Not only is laser cleaning safer for your composite part molds, but it’s also safer for your operators and the environment. Unlike media blasting options, laser cleaning requires minimal safety precautions. Proper training, protective eyewear, and a designated hazard zone are all that’s needed to prevent the majority of — if not all — risks. Plus, laser cleaning produces no additional waste and doesn’t require secondary cleanup, making it a more environmentally-conscious option. Our laser solutions are also:
