Sustainable technology that is light years ahead of current methods
for laser cleaning systems.
Laser cleaning has been proven to be the most environmentally friendly of all cleaning techniques.
​
Founded in 2020 by Jonathan Probert and Alain Lacroix, NIR is a proud P-Laser Ambassador.
We love to succeed in minimizing waste and improving efficiency. From chemicals and solvents to polluted water and blast media we all know our planet can do without. With very little primary waste and almost no secondary waste, Laser cleaning is constantly finding applications and revolutionizing industries and processes across the world.
At NIR our passion is taking care of our clients. From corporation’s to small business we are always happy to help. We offer the complete solution to ease the adoption of this new technology. From all necessary PPE, fume extraction, consultation, onsite training, automation pairing, first line technical support, parameter development and of course laser cleaning systems, we are a one stop shop.
We are backed by the world leader in laser cleaning systems and their engineering team. We can help develop custom solutions for hand held and automated processes.
Industrial laser cleaning , also known as laser ablation, is the process of eliminating an undesired material from a solid surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. Our laser cleaning systems use a fiber laser engine. They are pulsed lasers in the nanosecond regime. Meaning they can send pulses in lengths of billionth of a second.
A laser cleaning system is tuned with different parameters depending on the application. With the right parameters and configuration the user can remove coatings or undesirables selectively. A targeted material will absorb the energy, be heated in a fraction of a second and evaporate. This process is also known as sublimation. It can be compared to thousands of miniature explosions per second following a pre-determined pattern. By tuning the laser you can then adjust the depths to which those explosions penetrate to remove or not remove a desired material.
