de-painting of helicopter rotor blades

The Principles, the Advantages

The pre-treatment of various surfaces in preparation for painting, gluing or welding is becoming increasingly popular as a standard application in many industrial branches. Only a few laser pulses are necessary to condition the surface for the desired follow-up treatment such as adhesion or the conduction of electricity.

The advantages of the process:

• clean treatment, no additional media necessary
• locally direct application, no masking of surrounding area
• follow-up treatments can be done immediately
• increase in quality
• decrease in costs

Applications:

The Preparation of surfaces for:

• painting
• gluing
• welding
• bonding, electrical conduction
• etc.
