Which settings on pulse laser are suitable for cleaning wood
Introduction
In a world of small companies focusing on the development of new products and innovation, the effective removal of varnish or paint from wood surfaces is crucial. One modern method for achieving this goal is the use of pulse laser. However, for optimal results it is necessary to precisely set laser parameters to ensure effective cleaning without damage to the wood.
Key parameters for cleaning wood with pulse laser
When using pulse laser to remove varnish or paint from wooden surfaces, it is important to take into account the following parameters:
- Frequency: Start with a lower frequency, between 10 kHz and 30 kHz, and gradually increase it until you achieve a uniform cleaning without visible damage to the wood.
- Pulse width (pulse width): Closer pulses, for example between 10 and 100 nanoseconds, are usually more effective for selective removal of varnish without overheating wood.
- Scan speed: Higher scanning speeds, such as a few hundred millimeters per second, can help prevent overheating of wood. Start at moderate speed, say 200-300 mm/s, and adjust it according to the results.
- Laser power: Set the laser power to a lower level and slowly increase it until the varnish starts to fold. Too high power can cause burn marks or damage wood.
Advantages of using pulse laser to clean wood
Using pulse laser to remove varnish or paint from wooden surfaces brings many advantages:
- High precision: The laser allows accurate removal of coatings without damage to the base material.
- Ecological friendliness: The procedure does not require the use of chemicals, which reduces the environmental impact.
- Minor tool wear: As it is a non-contact method, there is no mechanical wear of tools.
- Speed and efficiency: Laser allows fast and even removal of coatings, which increases productivity.
Customer experience: Successful use of pulse laser in wood cleaning
Recently, in our company, the World of Inks worked with a small company that is involved in the manufacture of unique wooden furniture. They faced the challenge of removing old polishes from their products without damaging wood. After the introduction of the pulse laser and the adaptation of the above parameters, they achieved remarkable results. Not only did they successfully remove the varnish, but they also maintained the integrity and aesthetics of wood. This experience enabled the company to renovate furniture more quickly and increase the satisfaction of their customers.
Conclusion
The correct setting of the pulse laser is essential for the effective and safe removal of varnish or paint from wooden surfaces. By adjusting frequency, pulse width, scanning speed and laser power, you can achieve optimal results without damage to wood. Are you ready to improve your wood cleaning processes using pulse laser?
