At CLIIN Robotics, we are always pleased to see our Magnetic Universal Crawler (MUC) used for a variety of cleaning and inspection tasks in hard-to-reach areas, extending beyond our typical applications such as cargo hold cleaning, hull cleaning, and storage tank cleaning. We were therefore delighted when Laser-Clean DK selected our MUC for their exploratory test of their innovative laser cleaning technology.
Laser-Clean DK brought their state-of-the-art handheld laser device to our headquarters in Søborg, where they integrated it with our MUC for this preliminary trial. Thanks to the robot's efficient mounting system, the laser was quickly installed and aligned to the robot. Once the optimal distance between the lens and the surface was set, Laser-Clean DK tested the laser on our test wall coated with thick layers of paint and rust. With the main focus on cleaning rust, the initial results were promising, indicating that this technology could significantly enhance cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.
Laser-Clean DK builds customized lasers for cleaning, making them a perfect match for our customizable MUC. For this test, they used their 3 kW laser, which can clean a width of 170 mm. The aim is to develop a laser that can cover the entire width of the robot (600 mm+). . For more information about Laser-Clean DK and their advanced laser cleaning technology, visit their homepage.
The combination of Laser-Clean DK’s precise laser technology and the MUC’s capability to access challenging areas offers a glimpse into the future of industrial cleaning. While this was an initial trial rather than a full-scale collaboration, it highlighted the potential benefits of integrating our technologies. We are enthusiastic about the future possibilities this innovative approach presents and look forward to further exploration.
