Handheld water cooling Laser Cleaning Machine (CW Laser Source & Water Chiller)


Industrial Surface Cleaning Solution for Europe & North America

The handheld laser cleaning machine with a CW (Continuous Wave) laser source and industrial water chiller is an advanced surface treatment solution designed for modern manufacturing environments in Europe and North America. It delivers high cleaning efficiency, consistent performance, and long-term cost savings while fully supporting environmental regulations, workplace safety standards, and Industry 4.0 requirements.




1) Working Principle of the Laser Cleaning Machine

The laser cleaning machine removes surface contaminants by directing a controlled laser beam onto the target area. The laser energy is absorbed by rust, oxides, oil, grease, paint, or coatings, causing rapid thermal expansion and vaporization. The base material—steel, aluminum, stainless steel, or other metals—remains unaffected due to its different absorption characteristics.

Key technical characteristics:

Non-contact process – no mechanical stress

No consumables – no chemicals or abrasives

Highly controllable energy output for consistent results


The CW laser cleaning machine provides stable and continuous laser power, making it particularly suitable for large-area cleaning, heavy rust removal, and pre-welding surface preparation in industrial production lines.

The most common questions about  Handheld water cooling Laser Cleaning Machine


Q1: What is the Maximum Laser Power for the Handheld Laser Cleaning Machine?

Answer: As it is the water cooling laser cleaning machine, once we use a higher volume of the chiller for the enough cooling, now the tested maximum power is 6000W


Q2: What is the Maximum Cleaning Width for the Handheld laser cleaning machine?

Answer: The cleaning width is effected by the focus diameters, once the focus diameter is bigger, the cleaning width is bigger, currently the cleaning width is 500mm 


Q3: What is the obvious difference between CW laser cleaning machine & Pulse Cleaning machine 

Answer: CW is continuous Wave, high powre output, is harmful to base material, but pulse laser source is different, is high peak but short time output, which no harmful to the base material, so the final application is different, Pulse laser source is mainly for the precise cleaning, also for the wood,paper etc. 


Q4:  Is it possible to do the OEM and ODM for our products?

Answer: Yes, it is possible, thanks to the supply chains, we can offer the customization from the water cooling cabinet, machine color, controlling system, cleaning gun, laser source etc. with a good relationship with the suppliers, we can offer a good quality with attractive prices, we also welcome to your inquiries
