Two configurations: 500 W air-cooled (MW-LC500D) or 1000 W water-cooled (MW-LC1000D)
15 m fiber cable to reach around large workpieces
Single-axis scan of 5–120 mm, or dual-axis scan of at least 120 × 60 mm
1.9 kg handheld cleaning head with a control panel on the gun
Handheld use or automated operation on a fixture or robot

Overview

This is our mid-power laser rust remover for workshops that clean large parts. The laser beam travels through a 15 m fiber to a handheld head. A scanner in the head sweeps the beam across the surface. Rust, paint, oxide and residue absorb the energy and are removed, while the metal underneath stays intact when the settings are right. No abrasive, solvent or water is used, so there is no media to clean up afterwards.

A 500 W or 1000 W laser covers the middle ground between our compact pulsed units and the 1500–3000 W MW-LCW cleaners.

Configuration

Laser: 500 W (MW-LC500D, air-cooled) or 1000 W (MW-LC1000D, water-cooled). Power is adjustable from 10 to 100 %.
Cleaning head: about 1.9 kg including the isolator. The gun has its own control panel and a trigger that releases the laser.
Scanning: single-axis scan line of 5–120 mm, or dual-axis area scan of at least 120 × 60 mm. Scanning frequency is 10–300 Hz.
Optics: 160 mm field lens as standard. Lenses from 160 to 500 mm are available to change the working distance and spot size.
Cabinet: 1300 × 750 × 1200 mm on wheels. It weighs about 240 kg (500 W) or 280 kg (1000 W).

Typical applications

Removing rust and old paint from steel frames, beams and machine bases
Stripping coatings, oil residue and oxide before welding or repainting
Automated cleaning stations, with the head mounted on a robot or fixture

Options and customization

Field lenses from 160 to 500 mm focal length
110 V, 50 Hz power supply on request, with plugs to suit your country

FAQ

About this machine

What is the difference between the MW-LC500D and the MW-LC1000D?

The MW-LC500D has 500 W of laser power and is air-cooled. It draws up to 4000 W and weighs about 240 kg. The MW-LC1000D has 1000 W and is water-cooled. It draws up to 8000 W and weighs about 280 kg. Both use the same 15 m fiber, cleaning head and cabinet size.

How wide is the cleaning line?

In single-axis mode the scan line is adjustable from 5 to 120 mm. In dual-axis mode the head scans an area of at least 120 × 60 mm, and you can set the length and width separately.

What power supply does it need?

It runs on single-phase 220 V ±10 %, 50/60 Hz. A 110 V, 50 Hz version is available. Plan for up to 4000 W (500 W model) or 8000 W (1000 W model) at the socket.

Will it mark or overheat thin parts?

A high-power beam puts heat into the part. On thin sheet, precision moulds or aluminium, start at low power and test first, or choose a pulsed cleaner. Send us a sample and we will run a test.

Can it be automated?

Yes. Both models can run handheld or automated, with the head mounted on a fixture or robot. Tell us about your parts and line, and we will confirm the setup.
