Focus 2018. The unveiling ceremony of Laser Application Demonstration Center was held in Suzhou, China, in August 2018. In order to further strengthen the construction of China's laser cleaning technology platform and promote the development of intelligent manufacturing and high-end equipment industry, led by Academician Yao Jianquan of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the leading group of Wuzhong Science and Technology Town in Suzhou City, the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Suzhou University, Beijing University of Science and Technology, Jiangsu University and other universities were jointly organized, and the Science and Technology Innovation Association of Suzhou City and the Science and Technology Enterprises in Wuzhong District of Suzhou City were also Association, and wisdom of Suzhou Melcovy Laser Robot Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Huize Laser Technology Co., Ltd., Qingdao Free Trade Laser Technology Co., Ltd., Jiangmen Zhuxi Laser Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., Shandong Haifu Photonic Technology Co., Ltd., Suzhou Jisi Precision Technology Co., Ltd., Suzhou Beiyamin Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd., Shanghai Runqian Electronics Technology Co., Ltd. We can manufacture and manufacture laser complete sets of equipment, and strive to build China Laser Cleaning Application Demonstration (Suzhou) Center.

This conference is of great significance to the technological development of laser cleaning applications. The China Laser Cleaning Application Demonstration Center was officially established at the event. In-depth discussions were held on the future development of laser cleaning technology, with the focus placed on research into laser cleaning mechanisms and cleaning processes. It will advance technical research and equipment R&D in areas such as surface condition evaluation and detection after cleaning, on-line monitoring of the cleaning process, and standardized assessment of cleaning effects, facilitate the formulation of laser cleaning standards, and prioritize solving practical engineering application problems of laser cleaning equipment. It will also boost the application of laser cleaning equipment in the environmental protection sector and build a domestically advanced platform for laser cleaning research and application.

As the conference proceeded, Mr. Li Yongjian, representative of our company and Shanghai Runqia Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., delivered a speech on the current market situation of the laser cleaning industry. In recent years, with the rapid advancement of laser cleaning technology, its application scope has been expanding day by day, gradually penetrating all segments of the manufacturing industry. The annual growth rate of the laser cleaning machine market has reached approximately 200% over the past three years. In 2018, the annual market sales volume of laser cleaning equipment was expected to reach 400 to 500 units, mainly used for rust removal and grease elimination in the processing of mechanical and electronic parts, as well as rapid deburring of mechanical workpieces. Laser cleaning is set to gradually replace traditional cleaning methods and is expected to become the mainstream cleaning and processing technology in the foreseeable future. Compared with traditional industrial cleaning methods, laser cleaning features no abrasion, non-contact operation, low thermal effect, almost no need for chemical agents, and compatibility with a wide range of materials. It is recognized as the most environmentally friendly, reliable and effective industrial cleaning solution available today.

Based on research into laser cleaning mechanisms, technologies and processes, the Center focuses on the R&D and application of complete laser cleaning equipment and its key components. It aims to further promote the popularization and application of intelligent laser cleaning, drive the transformation and upgrading of the industrial cleaning industry, and advance Suzhou’s industrial economy toward an environmentally friendly, energy-saving and high-efficiency development path.
