Laser cleaning allows non-contact removal of contaminants without damaging the surface or thermally affecting the base materials. The process is also environmentally friendly and moves companies towards CO2 neutrality.
Laser cleaning
The production of electric vehicles requires high-quality and reliable sealing of parts by bonding. Laser cleaning is an ideal solution in this respect. One example is the laser removal of the plastic overlays on the electric motor shaft before sealing against lubricant leaks, which you can see in the picture on the right.
Laser cleaning as a substitute for masking
The figure on the left shows the defined removal of the KTL paint without damaging the protective zinc layer against corrosion. Laser cleaning can thus perfectly replace the time-consuming masking process and prepare battery covers for further processing where a highly conductive joint is required.
