In the field of industrial production, it is essential to ensure the cleanliness of various workpieces and parts in the production process. Brake pads are the most critical safety parts in a car's braking system. The quality of all brakes is determined by the quality of the brake pads. Therefore, a good brake pad is the protector of people and cars.
Brake pads will generate a large amount of impurities during the production process. After the production is completed, a variety of colloids or materials will be attached to their surface. Cleaning the brake pads is also a part of the production of brake pads. In the existing technology, the cleaning of the brake pads is mainly in the form of soaking and manual hand rubbing, which is inefficient, has high labor costs, and is greatly affected by environmental factors. Even the bonding between the brake pads and the brake pads may occur, making the cleaning impossible. It is impossible to ensure that the brake pads are cleaned in place. Impurities remaining on the surface of the brake pads affect the function of the brake pads and pose a safety hazard.
Due to the government's stricter approach to environmental protection, traditional cleaning methods are no longer suitable for industrial cleaning due to their high labor intensity, low efficiency, low safety factor, and high cost. From the perspective of industry development, more environmentally friendly, effective, and cost-saving cleaning technologies need to be developed. Laser cleaning has the advantages of "low energy consumption, environmental protection, and high efficiency."
The laser cleaning equipment launched by Shengtong Intelligent Laser is a new generation of high-tech products for surface cleaning. It has 15 years of industry experience and has obtained 53 national patent technologies. It has the advantages of easy control, easy automation integration, no need for chemical reagents, can fit curved surface cleaning, high cleaning cleanliness, and high precision. It can solve a variety of problems that traditional cleaning cannot solve. Laser cleaning is different from traditional cleaning principles, different processes, and different uses. For precision parts such as brake pads, laser cleaning is required. Compared with traditional cleaning, the degree of refinement of laser cleaning can be improved by many grades. Laser cleaning machines are easy to automate, have no consumables, and are environmentally friendly and high-precision, which is beyond the reach of traditional cleaning.
Application advantages of laser cleaning on brake pads:
1. More environmentally friendly: without the use of any chemicals or cleaning liquids, the cleaned waste is basically solid powder, which is small in size, easy to store, recyclable, has no light chemical reaction, and does not generate pollution.
2. Good results: laser cleaning is non-abrasive, non-contact, and has no thermal effect. It does not generate mechanical force on the object to be cleaned, does not damage the surface of the object, does not damage the substrate, and does not produce secondary pollution.
3. Easy to control: Lasers can be transmitted through optical fibers to cooperate with robots to achieve long-distance operation, and can clean complex parts of structures that are not easily accessible by traditional methods. This feature also makes the safety of operators in some dangerous places more secure.
4. Wide range of uses: Laser cleaning can remove various types of contaminants on the surface of various materials, achieving cleanliness that cannot be achieved by conventional cleaning. And it can also selectively clean the contaminants on the surface of the material without damaging the surface of the material.
5. Low cost: The laser cleaning system has a high initial investment, but it can be used stably for a long time, with a service life of up to 10 years. It has low operating costs, high speed, high efficiency, and saves time. It can quickly achieve a return on investment. In the long run, the cost is lower than that of traditional cleaning methods.
Laser cleaning has the technical advantages of intelligent and controllable cleaning process, accurate and consistent, no damage to the substrate, and convenient operation. It also has economic and social advantages such as green environmental protection, maintenance-free, low operating costs, improved working environment, and labor savings. It has advantages that other industries lack. Nowadays, laser cleaning has become the mainstream cleaning method.
