Laser cleaning can effectively remove residual substances such as oil, rust, paint, oxide layer, and coating on the substrate surface, and has the advantages of green environmental protection, no damage to the substrate, no contact, simple operation, and precise control. At present, it has been widely used in fields such as molds, rail transit, automobiles, aerospace, etc.

Timely Removal of Minor Rust and Stains During Sea Voyage

When ships and boats are operating at sea, due to the influence of the salty and humid marine environment, the exposed metal parts or scratched parts are prone to rust. Due to limitations in conditions, it is often not possible to promptly treat the rusted parts. In addition, the sea voyage cycle is generally long, ranging from months to years, resulting in small rusting often turning into deep and extensive rusting during the maintenance and upkeep of the watercraft upon returning to the port, requiring a large amount of manpower and material resources to handle. In severe cases, it is even necessary to replace the rusted parts as a whole, increasing the difficulty and cycle of watercraft maintenance and upkeep.

If laser cleaning technology is used to timely clean rust on the watercraft when it is found, and then use methods such as applying rust prevention oil and painting for protection, further damage to the area can be effectively avoided.

Ship Surface Paint Peeling

Due to prolonged seawater immersion and water biological adsorption, the protective paint on the surface of watercraft requires the removal of old paint and repainting at regular intervals. At present, the process of removing old paint mostly adopts sandblasting technology, which has disadvantages such as high manual labor proportion, high labor intensity, poor working environment, and serious pollution.

By using high-power laser cleaning equipment, combined with automated designs such as climbing robots and robotic arms, the green and automated removal of paint on the surface of watercraft can be achieved. At the same time, to ensure that the cleaning quality meets the requirements, an online laser cleaning detection module can be added to monitor the surface quality of the cleaned ship in real-time.
