SVAN automated pulse laser cleaning systems bring the repeatability of pulsed laser ablation to production lines. Available as semi-automated cells (gantry, rotary indexer, cobot) or fully automated inline stations (6-axis robot, vision-guided pathing, conveyor feed), each system locks in focal distance, scan speed, and pulse parameters for consistent, operator-independent cleaning quality.
System Configurations
| Configuration | Best For | Typical Throughput |
|---|---|---|
| Hand-held + fixture (entry) | Small batch, complex geometry | 1 – 10 m²/h |
| Semi-automated gantry / rotary indexer | Flat plates, cylindrical parts, molds | 5 – 30 m²/h |
| Cobot cell with manual load/unload | Job-shop, high-mix low-volume | 10 – 40 m²/h |
| Fully automated robotic inline station | Low-mix high-volume production lines | 30 – 120+ m²/h |
Laser sources from 100 W to 3000 W can be matched to your contaminant type and required cycle time.
Key Features
- Programmable scan width, pulse frequency, and focal length per recipe
- Vision-guided dynamic pathing for part position/orientation variance
- PROFINET / EtherNet/IP / EtherCAT communication for PLC & MES integration
- Class 4 safety enclosure with dual-channel interlocks and light curtains
- Integrated high-vacuum fume extraction with HEPA + activated carbon filtration
- In-line cleaning: molds, dies, and conveyors processed without disassembly
Typical Applications
- Automotive: weld-seam prep, chassis bonding surfaces, stamping die maintenance
- Battery: dielectric coating removal on foils before ultrasonic welding
- Aerospace: thermal barrier coating stripping, pre-weld prep on turbine components
- Injection molding: carbon residue removal on hot molds in the press
