Introduction to Laser Paint Removal
Laser paint removal has revolutionized the surface preparation industry, offering a precise, non-contact, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional paint stripping methods. Among the various laser technologies available, short-pulsed fiber lasers have emerged as a standout solution, particularly for delicate surfaces such as wood. Jez Trolley, an expert in laser technology, has leveraged the capabilities of short-pulsed fiber lasers to create the Trolley laser cleaning machine, a groundbreaking tool for flawless paint stripping on wooden parts.
The Science Behind Short-Pulsed Fiber Lasers
How They Work
Short-pulsed fiber lasers operate by emitting brief, intense bursts of light energy. These pulses are highly controlled in duration and power, allowing for precise interaction with the target material without causing collateral damage. The laser energy is absorbed by the paint layer, causing it to vaporize or peel off the surface, leaving the underlying substrate intact and unharmed.
Advantages for Paint Removal
The primary advantage of short-pulsed fiber lasers for paint removal is their precision. The rapid pulse duration minimizes heat accumulation in the surrounding material, reducing the risk of burns, cracks, or discoloration. This makes them ideal for delicate surfaces like wood, where even minor damage can compromise the aesthetic and structural integrity.

Real-Time Monitoring and Alarm System
Real-time alarm feedback and laser shutdown features guarantee safer operation. If any abnormal conditions are detected, the machine will immediately shut down the laser to prevent damage to both the machine and the workpiece.
Global Compatibility and Integrated Shielding Gas
The Trolley laser cleaning machine is compatible with global 1-phase 100-240V / 50-60 Hz voltage and can be powered by a portable power bank, making it versatile for use in various locations. An integrated shielding gas function extends the service life of the lens and enhances working efficiency by protecting it from contaminants.
F-Theta Focus Lens for Uniform Cleaning
The F-theta focus lens mode ensures better uniform energy distribution on the surface, leading to improved cleaning quality. This feature is particularly beneficial for large or irregularly shaped wooden parts, where maintaining consistent cleaning results can be challenging.
Easier Clean Mode for Efficiency
The Trolley laser cleaning machine offers an easier clean mode, making the process more efficient and labor-saving. Operators can quickly adjust settings to optimize cleaning performance for different types of paint and wood surfaces.
Application Scenarios of the Trolley Laser Cleaning Machine
Metal Surface Texturing Treatment
While the focus here is on wood, it’s worth noting that the Trolley laser cleaning machine is also effective for metal surface texturing treatment. Its precision and non-contact nature make it ideal for creating intricate patterns and textures on metal surfaces without damaging the underlying material.
Maintenance of Stone Artworks and Cultural Relics
For stone artworks, cultural relics, and sculptures, the Trolley laser cleaning machine offers non-damage and non-contact cleaning. This is crucial for preserving the integrity of fragile artifacts, removing dirt, grime, and even previous restoration layers without risk of harm.
Mold Cleaning and Maintenance
In the manufacturing industry, shoe molds, injection molds, and bottle molds require regular cleaning and maintenance. The Trolley laser cleaning machine provides non-destructive, non-contact cleaning that removes built-up residue and grease without damaging the mold’s surface.
