When searching for a laser cleaning machine, you may have two options: continuous laser cleaning machine (CW laser cleaner) and pulse laser cleaning machine.  

Do you know how to choose the right one?

Both continuous laser cleaning machines and pulsed laser cleaning machines are effective methods for removing rust or paint from material surfaces, achieving thorough cleaning results.

However, they differ significantly in efficiency, control over heat input, and suitability for various applications.

Laser Output Method:

Continuous laser cleaning machine: The laser is output continuously, suitable for large area and long-duration cleaning tasks, allowing for rapid processing of extensive surfaces.
Pulsed laser cleaning machine: The laser is output in short pulses, suitable for small area or precise cleaning tasks, such as removing dirt and coatings.

Pulsed laser cleaning machines offer notably higher cleaning efficiency compared to continuous laser cleaning machines, when operating under similar power conditions. This heightened efficiency is primarily attributed to the pulsed laser's ability to deliver concentrated energy bursts. 

Additionally, pulsed laser cleaning machine excel in controlling heat input, crucial for preventing substrate overheating or micro-melting during the cleaning process. This characteristic makes pulsed laser cleaning machine highly effective in precision cleaning and surface processing applications.

Continuous laser cleaning machine has advantage in price, and can make up for the gap in efficiency with pulsed lasers by using high-power lasers, but high-power continuous laser cleaning machine has greater heat input and increased damage to the substrate. 
Therefore, continuous fiber laser cleaners may not be suitable for applications requiring strict control over substrate heating or where substrate damage must be minimized.

There are fundamental differences between the two in application scenarios:

For scenarios with high precision, it is necessary to strictly control the heating of the substrate, and the application scenarios that require the substrate to be non-destructive, such as molds cleaning, should choose a pulsed fiber laser cleaner.

For scenarios which requires high cleaning efficiency, such as some large steel structures, pipes, etc., due to the large volume and fast heat dissipation, the requirements for damage to the substrate are not high, and continuous fiber laser cleaner can be selected.
