Which Laser Cleaning Machine is Right for You?

Pulse Laser VS Continuous Laser Cleaning Machine

Pulse Laser VS Continuous Laser Cleaning Machine

Main Differences Between the Two Laser Cleaning Machines

Pulse LaserContinuous Laser
Laser TypePulsed Laser (Q-switched)Continuous Wave (CW) Laser
Output ModeHigh-frequency, short burstsStable, continuous beam
Power Range100W-300W1500W-3000W
Peak PowerVery high (instant energy release)Relatively low (average energy output)
Heat Affected ZoneMinimal – no material damageSignificant – may affect base material
Suitable MaterialsAluminum, copper, stainless steel, molds, etc.Carbon steel, heavy rusted surfaces, large steel structures
Best ForPrecision cleaning, mold cleaning, cultural relics cleaningFast rust removal, thick coating/paint removal, industrial surfaces
Cleaning EfficiencyModerate (approx. 2–5 ㎡/h)High (approx. 6–15 ㎡/h)
Cleaning DepthSurface contamination, light rustThick rust, oxide layers, paint, grease
Base Material DamageNo, safe for precise cleaningHeat is concentrated, may damage thin materials
Power ConsumptionAround 1–2 KW5 KW or more
Machine CostHigher (due to laser source cost)Moderate (cost-effective)
Size & PortabilityCompact, portable models availableLarger, industrial-style machines
Typical Users Aerospace, Electronics, Molds, Cultural ArtifactsHeavy Industry, Shipbuilding, Automotive, Pipelines,Rail Transit
Machine weight20-30kg100-150kg
