Paired with high performance German made lasers, our pulse-by-pulse closed-loop control technologies remove coatings quickly and safely. Our color-selective workheads and cleanliness detection methods allow stripping directly to the substrate or to intermediate layers such as a primer layer. Unlike other laser ablation systems on the market that use flawed post-ablation examination methods such as camera imaging, our surface recognition analyzes the surface before and after each laser pulse, or 10 thousand times per second, offering superior real-time protection and pinpoint accuracy. |

Benefits of Lasertronics’ Unique Ablation System
- Safe for Any Substrate: Absolutely safe for any substrate – Eliminates risk of damage from scraping, sanding, solvents, or media blast. Prevents overheating by open-loop lasers.
- Complete: Cleans any visible surface, regardless of complexity, with zero residue.
- Unprecedented Control: Selectively removes specific layers from multi-layer coatings, leaving the rest undisturbed.
- Fast: Replaces manual labor with 10X faster process.
- Savings: Significant reduction in labor, out-of-service time, and disposal costs.
- Easy Access: Flexible work head allows easy access to cramped spaces. Optional video camera enables remote use in inaccessible or dangerous areas.
- Reduce Injuries: Eliminates repetitive-stress manual labor.
- Portable and Flexible: Small, lightweight, portable unit runs on standard shop power.
- Adaptable: System accommodates manual or robotic applications.
- Green: Captures stripped toxic material in HEPA paper filter for easy control and inexpensive disposal, keeping it away from air, water, and humans.
- Clean: Dramatically reduces waste stream.
Applications
- Aircraft Maintenance – Fixed Wing & Rotary: Strip corrosion, paints and sealants; repair multi-layer surfaces including low observables.
- Ship Maintenance – Surface & Submarine: Strip corrosion, paints and adhesives from any surface; prepare weldments for NDI.
- Composite Manufacturing: Prepare composite surfaces to accept coatings and enhance bonding without use of abrasives, peel-ply or solvents.
- Radioactive Decontamination: Decontaminate to free release.
