    Understanding Laser Cleaners: Revolutionizing Surface Cleaning

    Laser cleaning operates on the principle of laser ablation, a process where high-intensity laser beams are directed onto a surface to remove contaminants or undesired material. The interaction between the laser and the surface generates heat, causing the contaminants to vaporize or sublimate, leaving the substrate clean and undamaged.
