IPG Photonics YLC-series 1000W class Laser Cleaning Parameters
Sourcehttps://www.ipgphotonics.com/solutions/laser-materials-processing/laser-cleaning
Deployed as an OEM source module, the YLC-1000 arms integrators building cells for nuclear component decontamination and food-line conveyor sanitation—markets where sustained continuous-wave throughput beats pulsed surface selectivity. Its 1064 nm, 1000 W CW beam drives thermal-shock cleaning of coatings and mill-scale, water-cooled for duty. Unlike the Q-switched YLP, it favors melt-vaporization throughput; below the YLC-2000, it holds gentler heat input on thinner substrates.
