OUR LASER OXIDE REMOVAL SOLUTIONS

Laser, plasma, or oxyfuel cutting causes oxide layers to form on the surface and edges of the parts, recognizable by their shiny blue/gray appearance. Before any coating, welding, or other surface treatment, it is essential that the part be clean and free of this oxide layer. This is crucial to guarantee the final product quality, durability, and compatibility with other manufacturing processes.
Special brushes are used to remove this oxide layer from the entire surface, including the inner and outer edges, without damaging the part.

Frequently Asked Questions about Laser Oxide Removal

During laser, plasma , oroxy-fuel, a shiny blue/grey oxide layer forms on the surface and edges of the parts. This oxide is deposited naturally during the thermal reaction of the metal.

Before any coating, welding, or surface treatment operation, it is essential to completely remove this layer. A clean, oxide-free part ensures:
■ Improved finish quality
■ Optimal coating adhesion
■ Increased durability of the final product
■ Compatibility with subsequent manufacturing steps

The oxide layer can be scraped off manually, but this is a slow and tedious method. For more efficient cleaning, machines equipped with special brushes that can clean the entire surface of the part, including the inner and outer edges, without damaging the material. These brushes ensure uniform, fast, and reliable work, even on large production runs.

Our deburring and finishing machines are designed to efficiently process a wide variety of metals and sheet metal. The most commonly deburred materials are mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
However, our equipment is also capable of working on other metals and finishes, including copper, zinc-coated sheets, Zintec, galvanized sheets, and plated parts.
Thanks to the use of a wet extraction unit, it is even possible to safely process highly flammable metals.
When only steel is being processed, a less maintenance-intensive dry dust extractor can be used. The machine also performs an automatic cleaning cycle every 4 hours to ensure optimal operation.
Note: To prevent cross-contamination when processing different metals, most of our customers use several pairs of dedicated brushes.
