Effortless Mold Cleaning with SFX Laser AGC/APC: Rust and Coating Removal Made Easy

In the precision manufacturing industry, mold maintenance plays a critical role in ensuring consistent product quality and minimizing downtime. Rust, oxidation, and unwanted coatings can build up over time, leading to defects and inefficiencies. The SFX Laser AGC/APC series cleaning machines offer a modern, non-contact solution for these persistent problems.

How It Works

The SFX AGC/APC series utilizes fiber laser cleaning technology, which emits high-energy laser pulses that react with surface contaminants. These pulses rapidly heat and vaporize rust, oxides, and coatings without damaging the base material. The cleaning process is controlled by precise software parameters, ensuring uniform results across complex surfaces.

Unlike traditional cleaning methods—such as sandblasting or chemical washing—laser cleaning is dry, contactless, and eco-friendly. The AGC/APC laser machines allow for adjustable power, frequency, and scan patterns, which can be tailored to the specific needs of each mold.

Key Advantages

【Non-Damaging to Molds】: Laser cleaning preserves the integrity of precision mold surfaces. There is no abrasion, chemical corrosion, or thermal distortion.

【Minimal Maintenance】: The AGC/APC series is designed with stable fiber laser sources that require little upkeep, ensuring long-term reliability.

【High Precision & Control】: Operators can fine-tune laser parameters for different materials and contaminant layers, achieving selective cleaning where needed.

【Portable & Compact Design】: Especially in the APC series, compact models make it possible to bring the machine directly to the workpiece, increasing flexibility in production environments.

【Environmentally Friendly】: No need for consumables like sand, water, or chemicals—just clean, safe laser energy.

Case Study: Automotive Mold Cleaning

One notable case study involves an automotive parts manufacturer that faced severe issues with rust and coating buildup on their high-precision injection molds. The company had previously relied on abrasive methods, which caused wear and tear on the delicate mold surfaces, leading to additional maintenance costs and production downtime.

After adopting the SFX Laser AGC series cleaning system, the company saw a dramatic reduction in mold wear and tear. The laser cleaning process effectively removed the rust and coatings without damaging the mold’s intricate features. As a result, the company reported a 20% increase in mold lifespan and a 15% reduction in overall maintenance costs. The time saved during cleaning also resulted in faster production turnaround, improving the company’s efficiency.

Ideal Applications

The SFX AGC/APC laser cleaners are especially suitable for:

Injection molds with fine details

Die-casting molds with accumulated oxidation

Press molds affected by lubricant and coating buildup

Industrial components with rust, oil stains, or old coatings

Whether in automotive, electronics, plastic manufacturing, or aerospace industries, these machines provide an adaptable and effective tool for mold maintenance.

Reflection and Conclusion

SFX Laser cleaning technology represents a shift toward more sustainable and precise manufacturing practices. For companies seeking to reduce downtime, extend mold life, and improve product quality, the SFX Laser AGC/APC series offers a compelling solution.

It is not just a cleaning machine—it is a productivity booster and cost saver. As laser technology continues to evolve, its role in industrial maintenance is becoming increasingly indispensable.
