Laser Photonics Corporation unveiled its new small form factor CleanTech Commercial Roughening Laser 3030 (CleanTech CR-3030) for cleaning, roughening and surface preparation. The CleanTech CR-3030 is the world?s most compact and portable Class IV dual axis handheld laser roughening and surface preparation system. Supplied with an air-cooling system rather than the large water chiller required by many high-powered laser cleaning units, the CleanTech CR-3030 sports a markedly smaller and lighter form factor.

In fact, the main system is nearly 85% smaller than water-chilled CleanTech 1500-CTHD and weighs nearly 70% less. The CleanTech CR-3030 features new Laser Head Overheat Protection and an upgraded Smartphone App. Overheat Protection displays the current temperature on the system monitor and halts operation should the temperature surpass 122 °F (50 °C).

The Smartphone App allows mode changing via the mobile application; the user is now able to control and change the settings of the system from a mobile device.
