The laser slat cleaner is mainly used to remove the slag remaining after laser cutting metal (such as wild steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel, etc.) on the flatbed slats of the laser cutting machine. Since the market size of this machine is small and it requires very professional laser cutting expertise, there are not many manufacturers specializing in the production of laser slat cleaner on the market, and the product performance is also very different. For users who are purchasing a laser slat cleaner for the first time, it is still quite difficult to choose one that suits them. Here, combined with our professional experience in the industry for more than ten years, we will disassemble and compare the laser slat cleaner that is currently on the market in terms of product structure and performance.
We hope to provide you with more professional suggestions and references when choosing a slag removal tool.

In fact, as long as you disassemble the machine and clearly see the internal structure, you can easily judge why some slat cleaners are so cheap while others are relatively expensive. Whether the
price is cheap or expensive, you must first compare the performance. It seems cheap while low performance, but you need to buy it many times. On the contrary, if it seems a bit expensive while high performance, just buy it once!

Based on the different power transmission structures, we define the laser slat cleaner currently on the market into two types:

1. Spring vibration type (e.g. Fig. 1)
2.Gear transmission type (e.g. Fig. 2) , LISEN’s LSC 200 slat cleaner and TRUMPF’s TSC 100 slat cleaner both use this structure. The subsequent comparison will be explained with LISEN LSC 200 slat cleaner.Let us make a comparison in terms of motorperformance, power transmission method, cleaning tool type and actual slag cleaning effect.

1.     Motor performance and power transmission method

The spring vibration type laser slat cleaner uses the motor used in ordinary grinders on the market. It has only low power (usually less than 1600W), weak power and unstable power transmission. It is easy to burn the motor due to overload. With only two simple tension spring structures, the vibration amplitude is very large and difficult to operate. Springs are often prone to breakage; breakers replacement is complicated and difficult. The clamping strength is not enough, it is difficult to pull and
move, the slag cleaning is incomplete and the cleaning efficiency is low. The life of the whole machine is short.

As for the gear transmission type laser slat cleaner, the customized motor is the first one in the field of laser slat cleaner truly achieved 2300W output power. It has the characteristics of high power, high load, low speed, high torque, high reliability, etc. It is powerful and durable. With the high-precision integrated gear transmission structure, the machine body operates smoothly, the power is output smoothly, and the slag is cleaned smoothly, efficiently and cleanly. It’s easy to operate. All of these lead the slat cleaner can be available for even fiber laser cutting machines up to 20KW. In the meanwhile, maintenance costs are low due to the modular design.

2. Cleaning tool type

Compared with the commonly used alloycasting cutter of the spring vibration type , LISEN cleaning tool is made of special steel with a specific heat treatment process. The uniquely designed three-sided cutting edge has good slag cleaning effect, high efficiency, faster and easier.

3. Cleaning performance
You can see the live video of the two typesof machines on the 8KW fiber laser machine below. The performance is good or bad, very obvious.
