Thermography in control efficiency and safety of laser cleaning

Inovativna tehnologija laserskog čišćenja različitih površina u industriji, uključuje integrisani pristup kontrole procesa interakcije laser-materijal i ispitivanja rezultata laserskog delovanja. Lasersko čišćenje ima značajne prednosti u odnosu na klasične metode čišćenja: ima veliku selektivnost, preciznost, efikasnost i pouzdanost u primeni kod različitih vrsta materijala. Termalna priroda procesa laserskog čišćenja unosi određeni rizik po predmete čišćenja, te su istraživanja optimizacije procesa u fokusu interesovanja velikog broja naučnika. U radu su prikazani rezultati laserskog čišćenja boje na bakarnoj površini i zaštitnog sloja na štampanoj pločici. Kontrola procesa laserskog čišćenja u realnom vremenu je vršena pomoću infracrvene kamere. Mikromorfološke promene čišćene površine su ispitivani optičkom mikroskopijom.Innovative laser cleaning technology for various surfaces in the industry, includes an integrated approach to controlling the process of laser-material interaction and testing laser treatment results. Laser cleaning has significant advantages over conventional cleaning methods: it has high selectivity, precision, efficiency and reliability in an application for different types of materials. The thermal nature of the laser cleaning process brings a certain risk for cleaning objects, and the process optimization research is in the focus of interest of a large number of scientists. This paper presents the results of laser paint, on the copper surface, and the protective layer, on the printed circuit board, cleaning. The control of the real-time laser cleaning process was carried out using an infrared camera. The micromorphological characteristics of the cleaned surface were examined by optical microscop
