On Site CW Laser Cleaner Test and Solution for Rolling Steel Wire Mesh Rust and Oil Removal
At the customer’s invitation, our technical engineers visited the customer’s facility to conduct a sample cleaning test using a 1500W CW laser cleaner with a 500mm cleaning width handheld galvanometer. The customer needed to automatically clean the surface of approximately 560mm wide wire mesh on a conveyor belt from thin rust and residual lubricating oil.
After testing, our engineers proposed two options, one using a 3000W CW cleaner with a maximum cleaning width of 1000mm cleaning galvo with a fixed fixture, and the other using a dual laser cleaning machine with two 1500W CW lasers and two 300mm wide cleaning galvos with a fixed fixture. Since the ultra-large cleaning width requires the use of a telecentric lens, which reduces the energy density and limits the scanning speed, the customer chose the more expensive two-in-one system to ensure the quality of the cleaning.
Application Context for On Site CW Laser Cleaner Test and Solution for Rolling Steel Wire Mesh Rust and Oil Removal
Laser cleaning applications usually depend on substrate material, coating thickness, heat sensitivity and required throughput. For similar projects, CNMarking normally confirms the contaminant type, target surface quality and whether pulsed or CW laser cleaning is more suitable before recommending a machine configuration.

How to Choose a Similar Marking Setup
Before selecting a machine, prepare a short sample brief with the following information. This helps CNMarking recommend the right laser, dot peen, scribe or automation configuration instead of only matching a picture.
- Substrate material and coating thickness
- Required cleaning width, speed and repeatability
- Whether the job needs pulsed precision cleaning or high-power CW removal
- Fume extraction, enclosure and operator safety requirements

FAQ
Can CNMarking test my own samples before I choose a machine?
Yes. For most marking, cleaning and welding projects, sample testing is the fastest way to confirm contrast, depth, speed and fixture requirements before final configuration.
What information should I send for a quotation?
Please send the material, part size, marking or cleaning area, required result, production volume and any automation or traceability requirements. Photos or short videos of the current process are also helpful.
