Laser paint removal technology has continued to emerge in recent years as it offers limitless possibilities and can be used in a myriad of applications. For example, laser marking paint removal can quickly and effectively remove layers of paint or plating from plastics, metals, and other surfaces. This process is an incredibly useful tool for those in the automotive, aerospace, agriculture, construction, and manufacturing industries. These industries use laser paint removal for a variety of parts and materials for numerous reasons.
One of the biggest advantages of using lasers for paint and surface removal is that it is fast, efficient, and cost-effective compared to traditional methods like sandblasting or chemical stripping. Since no physical contact is made with the material being removed, there is less risk of damage to surrounding areas which can save time and money in cleanup costs. This makes it an optimal choice for high-volume needs. With processes such as masking, ongoing maintenance is often required. On the other hand, laser paint removal can be fully automated, allowing for significant savings.
Additionally, since laser beams can be focused with pinpoint accuracy, they can be used to selectively remove certain areas while leaving others untouched. This accuracy is useful as it gives users greater control over their projects. Lastly, because lasers do not use any hazardous chemicals, there are no environmental hazards associated with their use.
Learn how lasers are used for paint removal and surface removal (the process that peels the film or plating from a target).
Basic Principles of Paint Peeling Using Laser Markers
Also known as laser ablation and laser coating removal, laser energy is focused on the material, and short pulses repeat. These pulses ultimately release the coating from the surface, leaving the desired marking and surface intact. In simple terms, laser removal involves removing the surface coating of plastic to expose the base material or coating underneath.
In the shift lever processing example below, the black coating on the plastic was removed to allow light to pass through to the colored material underneath. Laser-marking paint removal is useful for exposing multiple layers of plastics (such as black, red and green coatings).
