Robotic Laser Cleaning System

LoopCLEAN is a robotic laser cleaning system that cleans complex components, industrial equipment and surfaces. It provides groundbreaking levels of speed, precision and safety compared to handheld laser cleaning and other traditional methods such as media blasting.

Using laser ablation, material is removed from the component’s surface without causing damage to the underlying substrate.

Applications:

  • Nuclear decommissioning and decontamination
  • Cleaning of industrial equipment such as mould tools
  • Removal of grease and oxide layers prior to welding
  • Preparation of surfaces prior to adhesive bonding or painting
Key capabilities
ENERGY EFFICIENT

Uses 80-85% less energy than typical abrasive blasting technologies.

NO CHEMICALS

No abrasive materials and no consumables.

LOW COST

Low cost of running and ownership compared to other methods.

NO DAMAGE

Laser ablation means no damage to underlying substrate.

LoopCLEAN

Our standard offering provides automated laser cleaning whilst retaining human operation over the generation of robot and cleaning programs. The operator programs the robot and controls its range of motion via the robot pendant. This is ideal for performing simple and repetitive tasks without the need for complex programming software.

LoopCLEAN Pro

LoopCLEAN with RobotMaster provides a higher level of precision and automation. A CAD model of the tool to be cleaned is imported into RobotMaster software where the cleaning paths are simulated and refined. The code is transferred to the robot and the equipment is laser cleaned.

LoopCLEAN Auto

LoopCLEAN Auto is cutting-edge automated robot path generation combined with state-of-the-art laser technology. It uses RealPATH, our pioneering software, to fully automate the cleaning process. By leveraging 3D imaging with singularity and collision avoidance algorithms to generate the robot and cleaning programs, it removes the need for component CAD and offline programming.
