Against the backdrop of the global manufacturing industry's accelerated transformation towards green and intelligent development, Shenzhen Horizon Laser Technology Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "Horizon Laser") has officially launched its new generation of laser cleaning system, bringing more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions to the industrial cleaning field with its revolutionary non-contact cleaning technology.

The pain points of traditional cleaning have given rise to technological innovation

In traditional manufacturing industries, processes such as sandblasting, chemical solvent cleaning, and dry ice cleaning have long been plagued by environmental pollution, low efficiency, and damage to substrates. Take the cleaning of car wheel hubs as an example. The traditional method not only generates a large amount of waste residue and wastewater, but also requires subsequent treatment procedures, resulting in a high overall cost.

"Laser cleaning achieves micron-level precise cleaning by instantly vaporizing contaminants with high-energy lasers," said the technical director of Horizon Laser. "Our test data shows that in mold cleaning scenarios, laser technology can reduce consumable costs by 90% and increase operation efficiency by more than three times."

Three major technological breakthroughs of Horizon Laser

The newly released new-generation cleaning system has achieved key technological upgrades:

Intelligent adaptive system: Equipped with AI visual recognition, it automatically matches the cleaning parameters for different materials (metal/composite materials/surface of cultural relics)

Modular design: The weight of portable devices is reduced by 40%, and industrial-grade models support quick assembly of robots or gantry frames

Zero pollution throughout the process: Certified by German TUV, the cleaning process contains no chemical agents and no secondary waste

Typical application cases

A certain new energy vehicle enterprise has adopted Horizon's G series gantry cleaning machines to achieve full automation in the pre-welding treatment of battery trays, increasing the yield rate to 99.6%

A provincial museum has successfully removed the thousand-year-old oxides on the surface of bronze wares using P series portable devices, pioneering a new paradigm for non-destructive restoration of cultural relics

Industry response and market prospects

According to the "2023 China Laser Industry Development Report", the compound annual growth rate of the laser cleaning market has reached 28.7%, among which the demand in the new energy and rail transit sectors accounts for more than 45%. Horizon Laser has reached strategic cooperation with many leading enterprises. Its online cleaning system for tire molds has been repurchased by international tire giants for three consecutive years.

"We are developing a combination of laser cleaning and digital twin technology," the company's CEO disclosed. "We expect to launch an Industry 4.0 solution that can monitor cleanliness in real time and optimize it independently in 2024."

Expert Comment

The Laser Processing Specialized Committee of the Chinese Optical Society pointed out that Horizon Laser's technical route precisely aligns with the "dual carbon" goals. Its equipment can reduce approximately 12 tons of carbon emissions per unit throughout its entire life cycle, providing key technical support for the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.
