Laser cleaning
One of the promising areas of application of RTС is laser cleaning of treated surfaces.
RTK components that provide laser action were developed jointly by NTO IRE-Polus (IPG PHOTONICS) and ATEKO-TM.
NTO IRE-Polus (IPG PHOTONICS) (laser sources) is a recognized world leader in the laser technology market.
ATECO-TM (galvanometric scanning heads) is the only company in the world that produces laser equipment entirely consists of components of its own production.
Application features:
- No Consumables;
- No surface damage – laser cleaning does not contact the surface and does not damage the surface;
- Working with complex surfaces – cleaning of places inaccessible to traditional cleaning methods;
- Allows to combine mechanical cleaning, degreasing, dust removal and desalination in one technological process – saving time due to a reduction in the number of technological cycles;
- The treated surface has increased adhesion characteristics.
Processing:
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metals;
- Stone, concrete, bricks;
- Flat and curved surfaces;
- Surfaces with large differences in height;
- Hard-to-reach cavities and recesses.
Removable coatings:
- Rust;
- Scale;
- Thin oxide films;
- Paints and varnishes;
- Galvanizing;
- An. ox;
- Polymers;
- Soot, grease;
- Oils, preservatives;
- Organic contaminants.

Laser surface structuring
Nano- and microstructuring makes it possible to create periodic structures with a certain morphology and topology on surfaces. It is possible to obtain surfaces with unique properties: increased hydrophobicity, high conductivity, altered reflection coefficient, etc.
