Overview

The MW-LCW is our high-power continuous-wave (CW) laser cleaner. A fiber laser of 1500, 2000 or 3000 W sends a constant beam through a 15 m cable to a handheld cleaning head. The head scans the beam across the surface. Rust, paint and scale absorb the energy and lift off, so no blasting media, solvents or chemicals are used.

CW cleaning trades fine surface control for speed. It is the right tool when you need to clear large steel areas of heavy rust or thick paint. For delicate parts, choose one of our pulsed cleaners instead.

Configuration

Laser source: continuous-wave fiber laser, 1080 ± 10 nm, power adjustable from 10 to 100 %. It can also run in modulated mode.
Cleaning head: handheld head with a cleaning width of 10–300 mm. When not in use, it docks on a hook on the side of the cabinet.
Cable: 15 m with QBH beam delivery, stored on a hexagonal reel on the side of the cabinet.
Cooling: built-in 3.8 kW water-cooling unit with dual heat dissipation, temperature and water-level display, and alarm codes.
Controls: touchscreen on the top panel, emergency stop, and separate switches for the chiller and the laser.
Cabinet: black steel housing on castors. Net weight is 240 kg.

Typical applications

Heavy rust and mill scale on steel plate, beams and castings
Paint and coating removal before repainting or welding
Cleaning weld seams before and after welding
Maintenance work on ships, tanks, pipelines and steel structures

Options and customization

Power: 1500, 2000 or 3000 W. The 3000 W model runs on 380 V; the 1500 and 2000 W models run on 220 V, 50/60 Hz.
Cable and beam delivery: custom cable lengths and connectors on request.
Branding: the front logo plate can carry your company logo.
Electrical: we adapt plugs and voltage to your country.

Every machine has a 2-year whole-machine warranty, and we train your operators for free at our Wuhan factory.

FAQ

About this machine

Should I choose 1500, 2000 or 3000 W?

All three share the same cabinet, cable and cleaning width. Higher power removes thick rust and paint faster per pass, so 3000 W fits large areas and heavy layers. Note that the 3000 W model needs a 380 V supply, while 1500 and 2000 W run on 220 V.

Is a continuous-wave cleaner safe on thin sheet or moulds?

A continuous-wave beam puts more heat into the part than a pulsed laser. On thin sheet, precision moulds or aluminium where the surface must not change, a pulsed cleaner is the better choice. We can test your part before you order.

What cooling does it need?

Cooling is built into the cabinet: a 3.8 kW water-cooling unit with temperature and water-level display and alarm codes. Ask us which coolant and water quality to use in your climate.

How is it shipped?

It ships in a wooden crate. Packed weight is 260 kg and net weight is 240 kg. Ask us for crate dimensions for your freight quote.

Can the cable length or logo be customized?

Yes. The standard cable is 15 m and other lengths are available. The front logo plate can carry your own brand, and we can adapt plugs to your country.
