1000W CW Laser Cleaning Machine
The ApexLase ION1000 is the entry point into serious continuous wave industrial laser cleaning. At 1000W continuous output with a Raycus or NLight laser source, it delivers substantially higher cleaning throughput on heavy contamination than any pulsed equivalent at the same average power. The choice for structural steel maintenance, heavy rust removal, and industrial surface preparation.
ION1000 Applications
Structural steel surface prep
Removes mill scale, rust, and surface contamination from structural sections prior to coating or welding — faster than pulsed systems on comparable area.
Pipeline maintenance
External pipeline cleaning for corrosion removal and surface prep for recoating. CW output handles pipeline scale effectively.
Heavy rust removal
Where rust is thick and throughput matters, 1000W CW outperforms equivalent pulsed power significantly on robustly substrated components.
Industrial maintenance
Batch cleaning of industrial components, maintenance of structural plant, and surface preparation in manufacturing environments.
Is 1000W CW right for you, or do you need more power?
The ION1000 is the right starting point for most industrial CW applications. If you need higher throughput for large-area shipyard work, very heavy scale, or production-line cleaning, the ION2000 or ION3000 will be faster. Contact ApexLase to discuss your specific throughput target and we'll confirm whether 1000W meets it or whether you need a higher-power system.
