Robot Laser Cleaning Machine Price
With the growing adoption of laser cleaning technology in the mold industry, demand for mold cleaning machines has steadily increased. However, many companies often notice a wide price range when purchasing seemingly similar machines.
A laser cleaning system represents a deep integration of laser technology and industrial robotics. It typically includes a laser source, robotic arm, laser cleaning head, control system, chiller, and various accessories. During automated cleaning, the system enables precise and consistent operations.
1. Level of Automation
- Basic Automatic Laser Cleaning Machine: Priced around ¥10,000, suitable for small-batch cleaning where manual involvement is higher.
- Mid-Range Automatic Laser Cleaning Machine: Typically ¥20,000–30,000, meeting the daily needs of medium-capacity manufacturers.
- High-End Fully Automatic Laser Cleaning Robot: Prices range from ¥30,000–50,000, equipped with intelligent controls, robotic arms, and tracking/positioning systems. The final cost depends on the base laser system and the customization of additional modules.
Automatic Laser Cleaning Systems
Laser parameters such as power and scanning width directly affect cost. Expanding the working area requires higher investment. Additional features like automation setups and custom configurations also increase the price.
Laser cleaning machines can collaborate with robots, rotary fixtures, and clamps for fully automated cleaning. The more customized the system, the higher the investment—but it significantly reduces manual intervention, making it ideal for large-scale production.
2. Cleaning Size & Laser Power
Larger molds require bigger cleaning chambers and higher laser power, which naturally increases equipment costs. High-power laser sources and larger systems are especially necessary for large injection molds or die-casting molds.
3. Cleaning Method & Process
Different cleaning processes—such as pulsed or continuous lasers, or integration with rotary tables and robotic arms—directly affect the system structure and cost. The higher the required cleaning precision, the more complex the process configuration, and consequently, the higher the price.
4. Functional Features & Customization
Some companies require additional capabilities such as intelligent monitoring, automatic recognition, fine oxide layer removal, or weld seam treatment. While these custom features enhance cleaning efficiency and stability, they also significantly increase equipment costs.
5. Brand & After-Sales Service
Well-known brands often offer greater stability, longer laser source lifespan, and more reliable after-sales support. As a result, their prices tend to be higher. For businesses focused on long-term operating costs, brand reputation and service quality are important investment considerations.
✅ Summary
The price differences of mold cleaning machines mainly depend on factors such as cleaning requirements, equipment configuration, cleaning process, level of automation, and brand/service quality. When selecting a system, companies should not focus solely on price. Instead, they should consider their production capacity, cleaning frequency, and long-term maintenance costs to make a comprehensive evaluation and choose the most suitable solution.
Is Investing in a Robot Laser Cleaning System Worth It?
The value of investing in industrial laser cleaning equipment depends on your specific needs. If your budget allows, a fully automated laser cleaning machine is a great choice. For limited budgets, a compact, mobile laser cleaning system can be a more economical option—meeting short-term cleaning needs while leaving the option to upgrade to a larger system later.
Investing in a robot laser cleaning machine offers significant long-term benefits, including higher precision, consistent cleaning quality, and reduced labor costs. While the initial robot laser cleaning machine cost may seem substantial, the improved efficiency, minimized maintenance, and versatility across different industrial applications make it a worthwhile investment for manufacturers seeking to modernize their cleaning processes and maintain competitive production standards.
