Applications
Pre-Weld Cleaning
Remove oxides, oils, and contaminants for critical aerospace welds with superior penetration.
Coating Removal
Strip paint, primers, and protective coatings without damaging precision surfaces.
Oxidation Treatment
Remove surface oxidation from aluminum and titanium components.
Tool & Die Maintenance
Extend tool life and maintain precision with regular laser cleaning.
Corrosion Removal
Eliminate corrosion while preserving critical dimensions and tolerances.
Surface Preparation
Prepare surfaces for bonding, coating, or non-destructive testing.
Why Aerospace Companies Choose Laser Cleaning
- No Dimensional Changes: Maintain critical tolerances to aerospace specifications
- Non-Abrasive Process: No media blasting or chemical damage to precision surfaces
