Typical areas of application

Technology & process details

Our systems utilise depending on the application:

The power, pulse rate and focus diameter of our laser systems are precisely adapted to the material, paint quality and coating thickness - to achieve optimum cleaning quality without damaging the substrate.

A particularly demanding area of application for laser paint stripping is the preparation of contact surfaces for electrical connections. In many industrial applications - for example in automotive engineering, power electronics or mechanical and plant engineering - certain areas of a component must be free of the cathodic dip coating to ensure reliable electrical conductivity. Cathodic dip-paint coatings have an insulating effect and prevent the safe flow of current or the formation of permanent contact connections, e.g. for earthing points, earthing rails or screw connections with a conductive function. With laser technology, these contact surfaces can be stripped with high precision, reproducibly and without damaging the base material. The laser specifically removes only the coating, while the underlying metal surface is cleanly exposed. This is crucial for the quality and long-term stability of the electrical connection. Thanks to the non-contact processing, even sensitive or complex geometries are easily achieved - without any masking or post-processing. The process parameters can be precisely customised to the respective material combination, which guarantees controlled and reliable exposure. In this way, laser-based paint stripping not only ensures optimum electrical contacts, but also makes a significant contribution to process reliability and quality in series production.
