Rocklin Manufacturing introduces the MobiLase laser cleaner, a portable fiber laser cleaner housed in an all-in-one, 60-lb rolling suitcase. The 100-watt fiber laser rapidly removes rust, paint, oil, grease, dirt and more by cleaning the material or coating while not disrupting the part itself.

Unlike less efficient cleaning alternatives, there is no need for grinding, blasting, solvents, water or chemicals via the MobiLase dry laser cleaning process. Simply point the 1.4-lb handheld applicator at the surface and move the laser where a clean surface is wanted. The short pulse duration combined with a small output beam diameter delivers precise surface-level cleaning.

There are few settings on the accompanying wireless device, enabling simple programming either wirelessly or offline as desired. The cleaning process is started by double clicking a trigger on the handheld applicator, while laser glasses, gloves and fume extraction options are available for added safety protection. The fiber laser source is rated for up to 100,000 hours of use with minimal maintenance required, and the MobiLase is fully supported out of Sioux City, Iowa.
