automotive manufacturing industry
The automotive manufacturing industry faces the primary challenge of vehicle restoration, a process that requires the removal of stubborn electrophoretic coatings, body paint, and grease from engine blocks. Traditional chemical solvents are highly toxic and remove contaminants slowly. For severe oxidation layers on cast-iron engine blocks, the JCT 2000W continuous laser cleaning system can efficiently vaporize stubborn paint layers and severe oxidation layers. Meanwhile, for precision body panels on classic cars—which require higher standards and must avoid thermal deformation—our iFOA-CN50 MOPA pulsed system can precisely vaporize thermosetting coatings to achieve non-destructive surface restoration.
shipyard
For shipyards, heavy-duty anti-corrosion treatment and rust removal for ships and offshore structures are critical processes and significant challenges. The seawater environment can cause severe pitting corrosion and barnacle fouling on hulls and ballast tanks. Traditional dry-dock sandblasting is costly and harmful to the environment. JCT’s 2000W and 3000W continuous laser rust removal offer shipyards a cost-effective rust removal solution. This non-contact optical ablation technology rapidly removes large areas of antifouling paint, exposing the bare metal surface of the hull for immediate priming, without leaving abrasive particles in mechanical valves or bearings.
cleaning mold
Rubber vulcanization and plastic injection molding leave carbonized release agent residues on the cavities of precision molds.Mold how to clean has become a major concern. Traditional ultrasonic cleaning or dry ice blasting can erode the tolerances of critical parting lines over time. Using JCT’s iFOA-CN50 MOPA pulsed laser, operators can precisely vaporize chemical residues directly on the injection molding machine. Ultra-short nanosecond pulses ensure that optical energy is harmlessly reflected from the substrate. At the same time, this ultra-lightweight laser cleaning machine—weighing only 30 kg—enables non-destructive surface restoration of molds, thereby extending the service life of these expensive tools.
seam weld
High-quality metal processing always requires pre-welding pretreatment and seam weld cleaning. Before welding, cutting oils and oxide layers must be thoroughly removed to prevent porosity. After welding, stainless steel welds exhibit thermal discoloration (a phenomenon known as “sugarization”), which traditionally requires the use of toxic chemical pickling pastes to remove. This JCT 1500W continuous-wave laser rust cleaner delivers stable, continuous light energy and is specifically designed for rust removal and cleaning of weld beads. It instantly cleans joint grooves and restores the passivation layer on stainless steel welds, providing a cost-effective cleaning solution.
light rail transit
Maintenance work on high-speed light rail systems requires mandatory magnetic particle inspection of bogies and wheel sets, which first necessitates the thorough removal of hardened grease, brake dust and rust from the track surface. Traditional mechanical scraping may result in scratches on critical axle surfaces. JCT’s iFOA-CN50Plus MOPA pulsed laser safely removes grease from train axles. This is a pulsed laser cleaning machine with a power output of up to 2,000 W that does not damage the underlying substrate, preserving an optically clean, highly reflective forged steel surface—which is crucial for automatic ultrasonic crack detection sensors.
pipeline companies
For pipeline companies, every time they perform non-destructive testing (NDT) on oil pipelines, they must first remove thick polyurethane cladding, asphalt coatings, and localized corrosion zones.

This 3,000W continuous-wave laser efficiently vaporizes stubborn paint and severe oxidation layers on cylindrical pipes, quickly exposing bare carbon steel joints and significantly improving rust removal efficiency.
electronic industry supplies
Suppliers in the electronics industry often face challenges when removing protective coatings and surface oxide layers from precision printed circuit boards (PCBs), as this process must be performed without damaging the microscopic copper traces. Traditional methods, such as the use of chemical solvents, often corrode adjacent plastic components, while mechanical scraping can easily damage the fragile circuits. JCT’s iFOA-CN50 MOPA pulsed laser utilizes adjustable nanosecond pulses to selectively vaporize microscopic resin layers without generating residual heat. This provides the precision electronics industry with a highly controllable laser cleaning system that exposes pure copper pads, enabling zero-defect wire bonding and soldering.
ev battery
During the assembly of electric vehicle battery, removing the dielectric insulation and aluminum oxide from copper busbars and battery tabs is critical to achieving low-resistance electrical connections. Traditional mechanical stripping or high-temperature continuous-wave laser processing often melts or pierces the fragile conductive foil, which is only 10 μm to 20 μm thick, resulting in the immediate scrapping of the battery cells. JCT’s iFOA-CN50Plus MOPA pulsed laser is capable of precisely ablating the insulating layer while reflecting off the underlying ultra-thin foil without causing damage. This provides ev battery with a high-precision laser cleaner that ensures perfect electrical conductivity and flawless ultrasonic weldability

FAQ
Q1:What is laser cleaning？
Laser cleaning is an advanced, non-contact thermal ablation process.
Q2: How does laser cleaning work?
Laser cleaning machines focus high-energy light pulses or continuous beams onto contaminated surfaces. Contaminants—such as rust, paint, varnish and oil—immediately absorb the laser energy and vaporise (sublimate). As the underlying base metal reflects this wavelength of light and has a higher damage threshold, it remains unaffected.
Q3:How does laser rust removal work on metal surfaces?
The principle behind laser rust removal is based on the difference in laser absorption between iron oxide and the base material. When a focused laser beam scans across rusted carbon steel or cast iron, the iron oxide rapidly expands and is converted into gas or particulate debris. The underlying base metal rapidly dissipates the heat, leaving a clean, flawless surface that is ready for immediate priming.
Q4: How much does laser cleaning machine cost?
The price of a laser cleaning machine depends primarily on the laser power (1,500 W to 6,000 W continuous wave and 1,500 W–2,000 W MOPA pulsed) and the cooling architecture (standard water chiller vs. active refrigerant compressor), and automation options such as robotic integration interfaces and fibre length.
Q5: What is the difference between continuous laser cleaner and pulsed laser cleaner?
Continuous-wave laser cleaning machines (1,500 W–6,000 W) generate high continuous energy via a laser beam, enabling high-power cleaning with exceptional efficiency. As such, they are ideally suited for the rapid and thorough removal of rust and thick coatings from large steel structures, ships, pipelines, bridges, and other similar applications.
MOPA pulsed laser cleaning machines emit short nanosecond pulses to precisely control heat input, making them ideal for precision substrates with extremely strict thermal deformation requirements, such as precision molds, bearing components, thin aluminum sheets, aircraft parts, and the restoration of cultural artifacts
Q6: Can a clean laser machine remove paint, oil, and oxide layers without chemicals?
Yes.
Laser cleaning machines work by providing a 100% dry, chemical-free, non-contact cleaning method. They do not require the use of harmful solvents such as methylene chloride; instead, the high energy generated by the laser beam instantly removes grease, vulcanized rubber residues, heat discoloration (sugarization), and multiple layers of epoxy paint, thereby completely eliminating the costs associated with chemical waste disposal and the risks of environmental compliance inspections.
Q7:What consumables and maintenance does a laser rust removal machine require?
Laser cleaning machines do not require any abrasives or chemicals. The main consumable is the optical protective lens inside the spray gun head. This inexpensive component protects the internal mirrors from spatter and typically lasts 2 to 4 weeks. Maintenance is very simple; it only requires periodically checking the cooling water and cleaning the air filter.
Q8: Is it difficult for beginners to operate a handheld laser rust removal gun?
Modern laser rust removal guns are intuitive and easy to operate, requiring no special welding license. The device features a built-in touchscreen interface with dozens of preset material parameters. After just 1 to 2 hours of basic safety and operational training, operators can master the adjustment of scan speed, beam width, and power.
Q9: Does a laser rust removal machine require a carrier gas or compressed air?
Strictly speaking, a carrier gas is not required for standard rust removal operations. However, when using clean, dry compressed air for rust removal, it helps blow away vaporized particles and keeps the protective lens clean. For cleaning sensitive stainless steel or titanium materials, nitrogen can be used as a carrier gas to prevent re-oxidation from the atmosphere.
Q10:Can the JCT handheld laser cleaning machine be converted into a laser welding machine?
Yes.
The JCT continuous laser cleaning machine features a modular optical architecture. Simply replace the front-end scanning nozzle assembly and switch the operating mode on the touchscreen, and your laser cleaning machine can instantly be transformed into a professional handheld fiber laser welding and cutting machine, thereby maximizing the equipment’s versatility and enhancing your return on investment.
