MAXWAVE industrial laser cleaning machines remove rust, paint, coatings, oxide and process residue from metal parts, molds and machinery. Built for fabrication plants, maintenance teams, surface preparation contractors, mold shops and OEM distributors.
The part picks the machine. Material, thickness and the layer to remove decide pulsed or continuous light, then the power level and the form factor for your workshop or job site.

The two jobs most buyers bring first. In both, the part under the layer decides which industrial laser cleaning machine fits, not the layer itself.
BeforeMachined parts, fabricated frames, beams and heavy structures. On thin sheet and finished parts, a pulsed unit removes the rust in two passes and leaves no residual powder on the surface.
BeforeAfterStripped from metal before repainting, inspection or repair. The beam scans over the coating and removes the layer with no abrasive media and no solvents.
Thin layers on finished or near-finished parts. Heat is the risk here, so the default answer is pulsed light.
On stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminum, and on joint areas before welding. Low heat input keeps the cleaned zone close to the base-metal color. Large structural welds on thick plate can go to a continuous machine.
Joint preparation and post-weld cleaningPulsed cleaning removes these with no abrasive contact on the cavity surface; scan width and power are set to the cavity detail. Oil- and grease-covered machinery can be laser cleaned too, and the deposit thickness decides the setup.
Laser mold cleaning machine setupsTwo rust jobs can look the same in a photo and still need different machines. The part under the rust makes the difference.
Below 4 mm sheet, continuous paint removal may distort the panel. A maintenance request with thin rusted guards and thick rusted frames can get both lines quoted, or one pulsed unit if the thin parts come first. Full comparison: pulsed vs CW laser cleaning machine.

Both panels are cropped from this one photo: the rusted half and the laser cleaned half of the same plate, at matching hole positions.

Both panels are cropped from this one photo: the coated half and the cleaned half of the same plate.Every comparison on this site is a real photograph of a laser cleaned part: rust, coatings, oxide, oil, molds and wheel hubs, the same surface before and after. No cleaning speed or area figures come with them, because output depends on the layer, the machine and the settings.
Seven pairs from the photo record. Tags sit on the zone they describe; every photo shows one part, cleaned on one side only.

| Line | Models | Laser | Cooling | Form | Suited to | Key specs |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Air-cooled pulsed | MW-LY100 / 200 / 300 / 400 / 500 | Pulsed fiber, 1064 nm | Air | Cabinet trolley | Thin sheet, precision parts, molds, high-value parts | Scan 100×100 mm (LY100) to 200×200 mm (LY500); 220 V |
| Water-cooled continuous | MW-LCW1000 to 3000 | Continuous / modulated fiber, 1080 nm | Water (chiller) | Cabinet | Thick plate, steel structures, large-area rust and paint, long shifts | 1500 to 3000 W; power stability <1.5% |
| Trolley-case portable | MW-LC100 / 200 / 300 | Pulsed fiber | Air | Trolley case | On-site repair, contractors | 24 V / 48 V supply; scan 0 to 100 mm |
| Backpack portable | MW-LC50 series (LC50D backpack, LC50B flight case) | Pulsed fiber | Air | Carried on the back | Work at height, tight spaces, field maintenance, thin contamination | Thin layers: light rust, oxide, residue films |
100 to 500 W average power from a pulsed fiber laser at 1064 nm, air cooled, in a cabinet on wheels. Made for thin sheet, precision parts, molds and high-value components, where every pass has to stay cool.
A continuous or modulated fiber laser at 1080 nm with a water chiller, for thick plate, steel structures and large-area rust and paint removal over long shifts.
When the part cannot come to the workshop, the laser goes to the part: by trolley case to the customer site, on the operator's back up a ladder.
Each input narrows the choice. Engineers run all five on every request before naming a line.
Buyers often ask for the highest power to be safe. Power is sized to the part instead, because every extra watt is heat delivered to the base metal.
On a thick mold block that shortens the job. On thin sheet or a precision part the same energy builds up faster than the part can shed it, and the surface can discolor or warp.
The 3000 W model is the right call for heavy structural rust over long shifts. On thin sheet, the answer is a change of laser type, not a lower setting.
Power level comes with the thickest and thinnest parts you clean, the layer and the daily area, so you can check the logic yourself.
Average power class and scan field per model; power adjustable 0 to 100% on every step.
Material, thickness, contamination and one photo. An engineer replies with line, power level and options.
Five application areas, each mapped to the lines that handle it.
Every machine in the range is a Class 4 laser product, and laser cleaning removes material as fume and particles. Four things to prepare before the machine arrives:
Installation instructions and operating tutorials cover safe setup of each machine.
The operating difference shows up in four places: what you buy, what you build around the job, what you throw away and what touches the part.
| Laser cleaning | Abrasive blasting | Chemical stripping | Grinding | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Consumables | No abrasive media, solvents or discs | Blast media | Solvents and strippers | Grinding discs |
| Site preparation | Controlled laser area and fume extraction | Media containment and recovery | Dip tanks or containment | Dust control around the operator |
| Waste | Removed layer collected by the fume extractor | Spent media to dispose of | Used chemical to dispose of | Swarf and worn discs |
| Contact with the part | None: the beam does not touch the surface | Media impact on the surface | Chemical on the surface | Disc wear on the surface |
CE (Machinery Directive) attestations list the MAXWAVE laser cleaning machine models, and production runs under an ISO 9001 quality management system. Certificates and each system in full: About Us.
A laser cleaner works as long as its optics, power supply and electrical cabinet do. Those are the parts specified with care, and tested before a machine ships.
When a handheld or cabinet unit does not fit the part or the production line, the system is built to the requirement. Custom work starts from four inputs:
Support is built around the people running the machine, and around the exact unit they run.

Before an industrial laser cleaning machine is named, the material, its thickness and the layer are checked. This is what happens to your request.
