A-LUX Laser System Shines in Challenging NDT Weld Prep Job


Oil Refinery


At Argento Lux (A-LUX), we pride ourselves on providing the most advanced laser cleaning solutions on the market. Recently, we teamed up with one of our prominent partners to tackle a particularly tough job: prepping 470 welds for NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) inspection. The challenge? A harsh, dirty environment that would have rendered most laser systems useless. But with our exceptional A-LUX laser system, we completed the task ahead of schedule with remarkable precision.


The Task at Hand

Originally slated for three days, the job involved cleaning welds for NDT inspection—a task that requires both meticulous attention to detail and significant endurance in tough environments. With only a two-man crew on the job, expectations were high. The pressure was on to meet a tight deadline while delivering high-quality results.

Overcoming a Harsh Environment

The worksite was far from ideal. Dust, dirt, and debris permeated the air, conditions that would easily incapacitate standard laser systems. In such environments, optics get dirty fast, and lasers lose their effectiveness. But the A-LUX laser system isn't your average solution. Equipped with our proprietary Tornado Lens Protection System, the laser optics stayed clean and fully operational, even in the dirtiest conditions. This groundbreaking feature allowed our team to power through the grime without interruption.


Ergonomics and Usability: Key to Success

What also set the A-LUX laser apart was its unparalleled ergonomics and usability. Other laser systems struggle with limited reach and cumbersome designs, making them unsuitable for complex environments like this one. Thanks to our Spartan Galvo Helm and custom fiber optic lead lengths, we had no trouble accessing hard-to-reach welds. Where other systems would have been forced to decline the job, A-LUX excelled, turning a complicated task into a straightforward operation.


Speed and Efficiency: A Job Done in Record Time

Thanks to the innovative design and durability of our A-LUX system, we completed the job in just 10 hours. That's nearly three times faster than expected. What was supposed to be a three-day project turned into a one-day triumph. The laser effortlessly handled 470 welds, leaving behind a pristine surface ready for NDT inspection.


A Happy Customer

Our partner was beyond pleased with the outcome. Not only did we meet their strict standards, but we also saved them time and labor costs, allowing the overall project to progress well ahead of schedule.


At Argento Lux, we believe in pushing the limits of what's possible with laser cleaning technology. This successful project is just one of many examples where our A-LUX laser system has gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional results in even the toughest environments.
