Laser Cleaning Machines UK
ApexLase supplies professional pulsed and continuous wave fibre laser cleaning systems to businesses and workshops across the United Kingdom. From 300W handheld units for restoration work to 3000W industrial CW machines for heavy throughput, we carry a range matched to real UK applications.
Two Series. Every Application.
ApexLase machines are built around two proven laser types, each suited to a different set of cleaning challenges.
ARC Series — Pulsed
High peak pulse energy delivers concentrated ablation force without sustained heat delivery. The right choice for delicate substrates, restoration, automotive, and precision industrial work. 300W to 1000W, JPT MOPA source.
- ARC300 — 300W, 5mJ, air-cooled
- ARC500 — 500W, 15mJ, air-cooled
- ARC1000 — 1000W, water-cooled
ION Series — Continuous Wave
Constant output built for maximum cleaning throughput on heavy industrial contamination — thick rust, mill scale, pipeline scale, and structural steel prep. 1000W to 3000W+, water-cooled.
- ION1000 — 1000W CW, Raycus / NLight
- ION2000 — 2000W CW, Raycus / NLight
- ION3000 — 3000W CW, Raycus / NLight

Supply, training advice, and support orientated around UK customers, UK industries, and UK operating conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of laser cleaning machine are available in the UK?
The two main types are pulsed fibre laser cleaners and continuous wave (CW) fibre laser cleaners. Pulsed systems (such as the ApexLase ARC series) are preferred for delicate substrates, precision cleaning and restoration work. CW systems (the ION series) are built for maximum throughput on heavy industrial contamination. Both types are available from ApexLase for UK delivery.
How much does a laser cleaning machine cost in the UK?
Laser cleaning machine pricing in the UK depends on laser source, power output, cooling method, configuration, accessories, training and support requirements. Contact ApexLase for current UK supply options based on your application.
Can I get a demo before buying?
Demos are available subject to location and scheduling. Contact ApexLase to discuss a demonstration of pulsed or CW laser cleaning relevant to your application.
Do I need training to operate a laser cleaning machine?
Yes. Laser cleaning machines are Class 4 laser products. Operators require appropriate training in laser safety, PPE requirements (including OD-rated eyewear), fume extraction, and correct parameter setup. ApexLase can advise on training options as part of any purchase.
What can a laser cleaning machine remove?
Laser cleaners are effective on rust, mill scale, paint, powder coatings, epoxy, weld oxide, carbon deposits, grease residues, soot, mould release agents, and many other surface contaminations. The exact parameters depend on the contamination type and base material.
