Continuous laser VS pulsed laser, how to choose a laser cleaning Machine ?

For emerging laser cleaning applications, there are different voices about whether to use continuous laser or pulsed laser.

Both continuous lasers and pulsed lasers can remove paint on the surface of materials to achieve the effect of cleaning. But where are their differences?

1.)

Under the same power conditions, the cleaning efficiency of pulsed laser is much higher than that of continuous laser.

2.) At the same time, pulsed laser can better control the heat input to prevent the substrate temperature from being too high or micro-melting,whilehigh-power continuous lasers have greater heat input and increased damage to the substrate.

3.)Pulsed laser machine price is much more higher than continuous type laser cleaning machine.

Therefore, if your project needs to be strictly controlled the heating of the substrate, and the application scenarios that require the substrate to be non-destructive, such as molds, car, high valued items should choose a pulsed laser.

For some large steel structures, pipes, etc., due to the large volume and fast heat dissipation,and lower requirements for damage to the substrate, lower budget on financial could select the continuous type laser cleaner.
