MaxClean™ Laser Cleaning Accessory, xTool MetalFab

MaxClean™ Laser Cleaning Accessory, xTool MetalFab: precise, fast and controlled surface cleaning

The MaxClean™ Laser Cleaning Accessory for xTool MetalFab is designed to transform your fabrication system into a true surface preparation tool. Fully compatible with the xTool ecosystem, it efficiently removes oxidation, welding residues, thin paint layers and surface contaminants without mechanical contact.

Where conventional methods may abrade or distort the workpiece, laser cleaning works in a targeted, controlled and repeatable manner. It is particularly valuable in industrial environments for restoring metal parts before or after welding. The result is improved cleanliness, higher precision and consistent surface quality from one part to the next.

Why choose the MaxClean™ laser cleaning module?

Abrasion-free cleaning process

The MaxClean™ removes surface layers through controlled laser interaction – no brushes, no blasting media and no direct contact with the part. This prevents micro-scratches, limits excessive thermal distortion and avoids cross-contamination. It is especially relevant for thin components, precision assemblies and welded areas requiring a clean and controlled finish.

Ideal surface preparation before welding

In both laser welding and conventional welding, joint quality strongly depends on surface condition. The MaxClean™ effectively removes oxides, oils and thin coatings to ensure better penetration and improved weld pool stability. The outcome is more uniform weld beads and a reduction of defects caused by impurities.

Seamless integration within the xTool ecosystem

Specifically engineered for the xTool MetalFab, this accessory integrates smoothly with the system. Parameters are optimized for the hardware, simplifying setup and reducing trial-and-error adjustments. It ensures a coherent workflow designed for laser-assisted metal fabrication.

Technical features and advanced advantages

Optimized cleaning width (45 mm)

With a working width of 45 mm, the MaxClean™ module efficiently covers extended areas while maintaining precise control over energy deposition. This balance between beam width and energy density allows rapid processing of flat or slightly curved surfaces without excessive passes. For workshops, this translates into measurable time savings in preparation and refurbishment operations.

Precise laser energy control

Laser cleaning operates on a simple principle: deliver just enough energy to vaporize or detach the surface layer without affecting the substrate. The MaxClean™ leverages the MetalFab system’s capabilities to finely adjust parameters. This control minimizes heat-affected zones and preserves the mechanical properties of the base metal – a critical aspect in precision sheet metal work and technical part manufacturing.

Reduced consumables and waste

Unlike blasting or chemical stripping, laser cleaning requires no abrasive media and no chemical products. This significantly reduces recurring costs, consumable storage and waste management constraints. For performance-driven workshops focused on traceability, this cleaner approach simplifies maintenance while maintaining high technical standards.

Designed for professional environments

Whether for industrial maintenance, metal part restoration or pre-weld preparation, the MaxClean™ fits naturally into a professional workflow. It meets the needs of workshops seeking repeatability, precision and reliability. Its use integrates seamlessly into production processes where each step – from cleaning to welding – must be controlled and documented.
