Allied Scientific Pro (ASP) has developed and manufactured a laser cleaning system for the conservation market. Offering full control over a wide range of parameters allows for precise cleaning with the ability to retain patinas.

With a long legacy of expertise in laser nano and micro machining process, ASP is capable of offering a state of the art laser system to address the needs of the conservators. Our laser system is compact, robust and has a long lifetime with low or no maintenance for years. We are using the latest laser and scanner technology to offer high quality performance and speed efficient cleaning without causing damage to the object.

ASP laser laboratory services can  assist conservators by establishing optimal parameters from samples provided if required.

• 100 Watt output laser from the laser head
• 5 meters or more optical fiber delivery for remote access
  
• Short pulse with no thermal effect
• Long lifetime with the latest laser technology made in the USA
• Low cost of operation 
• Air Cooled, no need for water cooled which helps preserve the building 
• One worker operation
• Laser safety glasses included
• 1 year warranty

Applications:

• Building restoration: Stone, Metals, Wood 
• Art and sculpture  
• Antique cars, boats and machinery
• Graffiti removal 
• Industrial cleaning
• Critical concrete infrastructure, dam, highway overpass  
  
• Clean environment applications
• Lead-based paint removal
• Art conservation
• Painting conservation
• Paper conservation
• Artifact conservation
• Wood conservation
• Textile conservation;  leather 
• Archaeological material
• Welding preparation of surfaces
• Insert moulding cleaning
• Rust and oxidation cleaning
• Surface smoothing 
• Varnish and paint removal
• Nuclear reactor contamination cleaning
• Anilox roller for printing machine
  

Key advantages:

• Reduce total effective cost per sq/ft by 40% to 60% depending on the material

• Reduce labor cost: only 1 operator
  

• Avoid to damage the material base substrate
  

• No need for water, avoid water infiltration

• No need for chemical 

• Reduce 90% of toxic waste disposal cost : solvent, media blasting, liquid waste 

• Reduce risk of injury at work

• Environmental friendly

• Reduction in injury rate

• Reduce cost of protective clothing

• Increase lifetime of the substrate your are trying to conserve

• Zero consumables

• Zero preparation cost

• Easy on scheduling

Notes:

Effective cost includes; labor, preparation time, damage prevention, power consumed, amortized equipment cost, consumable material costs and residue disposition costs.
