Description
Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Derusting and Cleaning System
A laser deruster or laser cleaner is an advanced cleaning system that uses a concentrated laser beam to remove unwanted layers such as rust, paint, oil, dirt, oxides or other contaminants from metals and other materials. This technology provides a non-contact, precise and environmentally friendly solution for industrial cleaning and surface preparation.
Applications of a Laser Rust Remover / Laser Cleaner
- Industrial: Removing rust and paint from machines, vehicles and tools.
- Preparation: Pretreatment of surfaces for welding or coating.
- Recovery: Restoration of historical objects without damaging delicate details.
- Precision industries: Cleaning of parts in the aerospace, medical and electronics industries.

How does a laser deruster work?
The laser beam focuses on the surface and heats the unwanted layer with high intensity, loosening and vaporizing it. The basic structure of the material remains untouched, thanks to the precision and controlled operation of the laser.
Most important features
Contactless and Protective
The laser does not physically touch the material, which minimizes the risk of damage, unlike mechanical or chemical cleaning methods.
Environmentally friendly
No chemicals or abrasives are used, resulting in less waste and a cleaner working environment. Perhaps add something about an extraction system because fumes/residues are released.
Fast and Efficient
Laser cleaning is a fast method, even with thick rust layers or complex shapes. Complex shapes or geometries may be called more extensive because this is a great advantage compared to conventional techniques such as sanding or polishing.
Flexible in Application
Suitable for various materials such as steel, aluminium, copper, plastics and even delicate surfaces such as historical objects.
Easy to maintain
Laser derusters have minimal maintenance requirements compared to traditional cleaning systems.
Easy to Operate
The MetaQuip Fiber Laser Deruster/Laser Cleaner is designed for ease of use and versatility. Thanks to the built-in touchscreen you can easily set up and operate the machine. Functions such as the speed of the wire feeder, welding parameters and assist gases can be adjusted with just a few taps, allowing you to work quickly and accurately.
Why choose a laser deruster?
A laser deruster is the ideal solution for companies looking for an efficient, sustainable and high-quality cleaning method. With the versatility and precision of this technology, it becomes possible to reduce time, costs and environmental impact while increasing the quality of the end result.
A laser deruster offers a wide range of applications in various industries:
- Removing rust: Safe and effective removal of rust from metal surfaces without damaging the base material.
- Removing paint: Precise removal of old paint layers without the use of chemicals or abrasives.
- Remove oxidation: Cleaning metal parts by removing superficial oxide layers, ideal for surface preparation before welding or coating.
- Oil and grease residues: Cleaning of industrial machines and parts by removing oil, grease or other stubborn contaminants.
- Restoration: Delicate cleaning of historical objects and works of art, without damaging the original material.

Advanced Safety Sensor
Maximum Protection
Optionally available
The MetaQuip LaserCleaner / Rust Remover can be equipped with an advanced safety sensor specially designed to ensure user safety.
This intelligent sensor system continuously monitors the proximity of objects to the laser focal point. When no object is detected within the designated range, the powerful laser beam remains inactive. As a result, the system only operates when it is absolutely safe.
This feature not only prevents accidental activation, but also increases operational efficiency by minimizing risk, making the MetaQuip laser system one of the safest choices on the market for both welding and cleaning applications.
Multifunctional – Laser deruster + Laser welder
The MetaQuip LaserCleaner / Laserderuster offers more than just cleaning and derusting capabilities. It is also possible to use the same machine as laser welder. This makes it a versatile solution for both welding and cleaning metal surfaces. With this dual functionality, you get a powerful and efficient tool that can handle various tasks within your workshop.

Single or Double Wobble Laser Head
MetaQuip Laser Derusters are supplied with a single or double wobble laser head. This is particularly important for laser welding.
A single wobble is suitable for welders working with simple welds and situations where a narrow weld is sufficient, such as when joining thin metals or making decorative welds.
At a double wobble makes the laser beam make two different oscillation movements (for example both horizontal and vertical or in complex patterns). This ensures wider and deeper integrated weld seams. The wobble can be adjusted from 0.1 -5.0mm width.
Advantages of a double wobble:
- Width and depth: Can create wider weld seams, ideal for thicker materials or uneven surfaces.
- Flexibility: Suitable for more complex welds, such as uneven joints or larger tolerance differences between materials.
- Stronger connections: The double oscillation provides improved adhesion, resulting in stronger welds.
- Less distortion: The wider energy distribution reduces the risk of material deformation.
- Versatility: Applicable to a wider range of materials and welding methods, such as deep welds or complex geometries.
