Watch the videoOur laser process relies on targeted energy delivery through high-power diode lasers to powder coated surfaces. The emitted laser light penetrates the powder coat layer, activating the chemical structure of the coating material and initiating a rapid coating curing process. Unlike conventional ovens or the convection oven process, this method requires significantly less energy consumption and achieves faster curing time. Controlled laser exposure ensures a uniform layer and consistent mechanical properties, resulting in a smooth surface with excellent corrosion resistance and scratch resistance. The outcome is durable, energy-efficient, and ideal for modern industrial equipment applications.

One of the notable advantages of laser curing is precise control. Our technology enables accurate process control of the coating curing process, ensuring a uniform layer and localized heating without damaging temperature-sensitive materials. This targeted use of laser energy results in consistent mechanical properties and reliable quality. Additionally, Laserline’s high-power diode lasers facilitate a quick powder coat curing process, reducing curing time significantly. This not only minimizes downtime but also improves throughput in modern industrial equipment production. With a wall plug efficiency of more than 50%, the method is both cost-effective and highly energy efficient.
Environmental friendliness is a key aspect of our laser curing process. Unlike the convection oven process or the use of IR lamps and industrial ovens, the required laser radiation is absorbed directly by the powder particles and the coated substrate. This eliminates the need to heat surrounding air or chamber walls, significantly lowering overall energy consumption. By reducing wasted energy and shortening the curing process, manufacturers benefit from lower operating costs and a smaller carbon footprint. The ability to cure coatings rapidly while producing a smooth, robust surface makes this approach a sustainable alternative to traditional coating curing technologies.

Laser powder coating with high-power diode lasers is emerging as an energy-efficient alternative to convection furnaces and traditional curing ovens. After application with an electrostatic spray gun, the powder layer is heated precisely to the required curing temperature, achieving a uniform coating and reliable coating thickness without disturbing the flow stage. The result: faster, more sustainable, and cost-effective continuous coating processes compared to coating curing in conventional hot air ovens.
At Laserline, we are redefining efficiency in the powder coating industry with advanced laser curing systems. Traditional ovens require long heating times and consume nearly half of the process energy. By contrast, a homogenized laser beam delivers uniform heating of the powder particles, ensuring a smooth and reliable coating process. With precise control of temperature curves, the system prevents overheating while guaranteeing consistent cross-linking and high-quality results. The outcome: faster production, lower energy costs, and a sustainable path forward with innovative laser curing technology.
