01. Importance of Proper Model Selection
In the field of laser cleaning, the beam mode is a critical factor determining the cleaning effect and efficiency. Single-mode and multi-mode laser cleaning systems differ significantly in beam quality, performance, and application scope. Choosing the right configuration not only ensures superior cleaning quality but also improves operational efficiency and long-term equipment stability.
