Pulse Laser Cleaner Specifications, Explained
What each number means for your work, and how the five models compare.
Each line below shows the range across this collection and what that number changes in your work.
| Parameter | Range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Type | MOPA pulsed fiber | Pulse width can be tuned independently, which is what makes selective cleaning possible. |
| Wavelength | 1064 nm | Well absorbed by metals and most coatings. |
| Average Power | 100-2,000 W | Sets how fast you clean, not whether you can. |
| Max. Single Pulse Energy | 0.8-15 mJ | Decides whether a thick layer breaks in one pass or several. |
| Pulse Width | 2-500 ns | Controls heat input. Short pulses protect thin substrates. |
| Frequency | 1-4,000 kHz | Governs pulse overlap and how even the finished surface looks. |
| Peak Power | up to 90 kW | The real measure of instant stripping force. |
| Max. Scanning Size | 65×65 to 100×100 mm | Sets the width covered in a single pass. |
| Max. Scanning Speed | up to 30,000 mm/s | Affects the time spent per square metre. |
| Source Lifespan | 100,000 h | The largest single variable in long-term ownership. |
| Machine Weight | from 14 kg | Decides whether on-site work is practical. |
Exact values vary by model. See each product page for its own parameter table.
Specifications in plain language
MOPA
MOPA stands for master oscillator power amplifier. In a cleaning laser it means pulse width and frequency can be set separately. That freedom is what lets one machine be gentle on a thin part and aggressive on thick oxide.
Pulse width
How long each pulse lasts, here 2-500 ns. Shorter pulses put less heat into the part and suit thin or heat-sensitive work. Longer pulses carry more heat and suit thicker, tougher layers.
Frequency
How many pulses fire each second, here 1-4,000 kHz. With the scan speed, it sets how much neighbouring pulses overlap, and so how even the cleaned surface looks.
Peak power vs average power
Average power is the energy delivered over time and mostly sets speed. Peak power is the force inside a single pulse, up to 90 kW here, and is what breaks the contaminant loose. Two machines with the same average power can behave very differently.
Single pulse energy
The energy in one pulse, 0.8-15 mJ at maximum. Higher energy helps a thick layer break in fewer passes. Too much on a delicate surface can damage it, so match it to the layer.
Scan size and speed
The scan head sweeps the beam into a line or pattern, 65×65 to 100×100 mm wide at up to 30,000 mm/s. A wider scan covers more per pass, but fine work often uses a narrow one.
Power-class model comparison
Five models, one MOPA pulsed fibre platform. The facts below are what differs between them; exact parameter values are on each product page.
| Model | Power | Format and weight | Cooling | Features |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Portable Handheld | 100-500 W | Carry-case design, from 15 kg | See product page | 6-in-1 multi-function laser; precise, selective positioning on target areas |
| Suitcase-Type Handheld | 100-500 W | Suitcase mobile design, from 33 kg | Air-cooled, maintenance-free | 2-500 ns pulse width, 1-4,000 kHz frequency |
| Mobile Handheld | 100-500 W | Trolley mobile design, from 36 kg | Air-cooled, maintenance-free | Air purification with lens air-knife protection |
| High Power Handheld | 300-2000 W | Full mobility at 300 W to 2,000 W | Water-cooled, -20°C to 50°C, 24-hour non-stop work | Voltage safeguard and lens air-knife protection |
How to read a datasheet without being misled
Look past average power
Ask for pulse energy and peak power as well. They describe how the machine cleans, not just how fast.
Check what can be adjusted
Independent pulse width and frequency control is the difference between selective cleaning and plain stripping.
Ask for a test on your material
No datasheet replaces a sample test. Ours takes about 10 minutes remotely.
Specification questions
Does a higher wattage always clean better?
No. Higher power cleans faster, but quality comes from matching pulse width, energy and frequency to the layer. A high-power machine used carelessly can damage a delicate part.
Why is the wavelength 1064 nm?
Metals and most coatings absorb it well. It also means eyewear must be rated for 1064 nm, and the laser is Class 4.
Are all values the same on every model?
No. The table shows the range across the collection. Exact values vary by model, so check the product page.
