    Backpack Pulsed Laser Cleaning Machine

    Rust does not wait in a clean workshop. It forms on bridge cables, high scaffolding, tank exteriors and deep inside engine bays, where no trolley can follow. This wearable system puts MOPA M7 laser technology into a 12 to 16 kg harness with a gun under 700 g, so the operator climbs to the work and cleans it there. An optional lithium module removes the need for mains power altogether, and the nanosecond pulse keeps the substrate cold and undamaged.

    Weight Where It Can Be Carried

    Portability is not a smaller machine on a trolley. It is a load distribution problem, and this system solves it where it matters.

    Load-Bearing Harness

    A dedicated harness transfers about 70 percent of the weight to the hips rather than the shoulders, reducing fatigue across long shifts.

    B

    Sub-700 g Gun

    The cleaning head is light enough to use one-handed for hours without wrist strain, even on overhead work.

    C

    Smart Air Cooling

    No water chiller means it runs in freezing or arid climates and weighs far less than a liquid-cooled equivalent.

    Off the Grid

    Cut Free From the Workshop and the Socket

    Industrial maintenance is rarely convenient. Rust forms on cable stays, in high scaffolding and deep inside engine compartments, and the choice used to be between aggressive blasting and a fixed laser cabinet that cannot reach the site.

    Laser Technology

    What MOPA M7 Brings to the Surface

    The source is the heart of the machine, and MOPA architecture is why the same gun can clean a stubborn rust patch and a delicate timber panel.

    Adjustable Pulse Width

    Pulse width can be tuned to match the job, cleaning anything from stubborn rust to a thin film of oil.

    10 kW Peak Power

    Single-pulse power up to 10 kW delivers the energy density to break contamination off the surface without harming the metal.

    8+ Smart Scan Modes

    Multiple scan patterns prevent cleaning stripes and keep the surface finish even and presentable.

    10–120 mm Scan Width

    Narrow enough for seam preparation and wide enough for stripping a broad surface in overlapping passes.

    Asset Protection

    Cold Working, Not Hot Working

    Continuous-wave beams are excellent on thick structural steel, but they heat the part while they work. The nanosecond pulse in this machine vaporizes contamination before heat can conduct into the material, which is why it protects what it cleans.

    • Zero heat-affected zoneEnergy removes the rust before heat reaches the substrate, so there is no softening or distortion.
    • Substrate integrity preservedLaser-cut stainless and precision aluminium keep the surface profile they left the cutter with.
    • No micro-meltingEssential for high-precision molds and aerospace components, where any structural change is unacceptable.
    • Magnet safeLow thermal input means high-performance magnets such as N54 are not demagnetized during cleaning.

    Operating Routine

    Four Steps on Site

    The system is carried, not transported. Setting up takes minutes and there is nothing to fill or connect.

    01

    Fit the Harness

    Adjust the load-bearing straps so the weight sits on the hips, then connect the gun and power source.

    02

    Select the Setting

    Choose the pulse parameters and scan mode for the surface, from a light oil film to heavy corrosion.

    03

    Clean the Surface

    Sweep the gun across the work area, adjusting as you move; the wrist display keeps control to hand.

    04

    Inspect and Move

    Check the finish, then move to the next position; there is no media to reload and no water to change.

    Applications

    Where Wearable Cleaning Changes the Job

    The benefit is access: work that used to need scaffolding for a machine, or a media supply chain to the site, is done by one operator.

    FAQ

    Backpack Laser Cleaning Questions

    Think of a continuous-wave laser as a torch: effective on thick rust on heavy steel, but it generates high temperature. A pulsed laser works like a scalpel, using nanosecond bursts of high energy to vaporize contamination. Because the interaction is so short, heat does not have time to conduct into the substrate, so cleaning is genuinely non-destructive.

    Yes. MOPA M7 technology lets you control pulse width and frequency precisely. On organic materials such as timber you can set ultra-short pulses that strip paint or carbon deposits from the surface before the fibers burn or char, a level of control that blasting or chemical stripping cannot achieve.

    The pulsed fiber source has a very high electro-optical conversion efficiency and concentrates heat in micro-pulses, so an optimized airflow is enough to keep it cool. Removing the water circuit takes more than 40 kg out of the system, which is what makes true backpack portability possible.

    The wearable body weighs between 12 kg and 16 kg depending on configuration. A purpose-built harness transfers about 70 percent of that weight to the hips rather than the shoulders, and the cleaning gun weighs less than 700 g, so the operator can work for hours without wrist or shoulder fatigue.

    Yes. An optional high-capacity lithium module provides the mobility needed for remote sites, such as bridge cables, offshore structures and elevated scaffolding, where running a power lead is impractical or unsafe.

    The operator does not need to return to the unit to change settings. Parameters can be adjusted from a smart trigger or a wrist-mounted display, and the laser parameter system supports multiple national languages.

    The machine is covered by a manufacturer warranty with free replacement of failed parts during the warranty period, and lifetime technical support is provided by email, messaging apps and remote assistance.
