The Science Behind Jez Air Cooling Trolley Laser Cleaning Machine
Short Pulsed Fiber Laser Source
At the heart of Jez Trolley’s laser cleaning machine lies a short pulsed fiber laser source. This technology is particularly suited for paint removal from wooden parts due to its ability to deliver precise, controlled bursts of energy. The short pulses ensure that the paint layer is targeted without causing significant damage to the underlying wood grain.
Precision and Efficiency in Paint Removal
The laser’s precision allows for meticulous removal of paint layers, down to the finest details. This is particularly critical in art restoration, where preserving the original texture and patina of the wood is essential. The easier clean mode further enhances efficiency, making the process more labor-saving and suitable for large-scale restoration projects.
Non-Destructive and Non-Contact Cleaning
The non-destructive and non-contact nature of laser cleaning is a game-changer in art restoration. Unlike traditional methods that can scratch or abrade the surface, laser cleaning gently vaporizes the paint layer, leaving the wood underneath intact. This makes it ideal for delicate antique woods, which require utmost care during restoration.
