What kind of control system is required for laser paint removal

Laser paint removal is a new type of laser application technology that has become increasingly popular in recent years. After the highly energy intensive laser beam is irradiated on the paint surface, it can quickly evaporate and vaporize the paint layer, thereby achieving the effect of paint removal and cleaning. Laser paint removal has the advantages of high efficiency, good effect, non-contact cleaning without damaging the substrate, and is widely popular in industries such as industrial electronics, shipping, aviation, and advertising.

Laser paint removal requires the use of a laser cleaning machine, which is an intelligent modern CNC equipment. Currently, the most common is a handheld laser cleaning machine. Through the control system on the equipment, operators can quickly adjust the equipment to the desired state and immediately put it into use.

Returning to laser paint removal, generally speaking, the control systems used for laser paint removal have the following main functions:
Laser control: After receiving instructions from the control system, the laser emits corresponding laser light. Through the laser control system, we can adjust laser related parameters such as laser power, pulse frequency, pulse width, and beam focusing to adapt to different materials and cleaning needs.

Process settings: Operators can customize and write cleaning programs, including setting cleaning areas, shapes, paths, and cleaning modes (such as wiring, scanning, dot matrix, etc.). At the same time, operators can also save, load, and select different cleaning programs, making it easy to quickly switch between different projects, materials, or requirements.

Real time monitoring: The laser cleaning control system can monitor the equipment status in real-time during the paint removal process, including laser temperature, power output, motion status, etc., and can be displayed on the software interface. When abnormal situations occur, the control system will also issue an alarm and promptly stop the laser output to avoid equipment damage and ensure personal safety.

External interface: The laser cleaning control system supports communication and collaboration with other control systems or devices to form an intelligent production line, such as external cooling machines, blowers, fans, and other equipment. Through the reserved API interface, secondary development or integration with other systems can also be carried out.

Of course, when facing different processing tasks, in addition to the requirements of the control system, hardware configuration is also one of the factors that must be considered. For example, cleaning paint surfaces with high adhesion such as plastic paint requires higher power lasers (usually above 2000W). If the hardware requirements cannot be met, no matter how the control system is debugged, the processing task cannot be achieved.
