Fort Liberty Army Base receives laser cleaning training for fleet and equipment maintenance from Laser Photonics

Laser Photonics Corporation, a leading global developer of CleanTech laser systems for laser cleaning and other material applications, completed an equipment training exercise at Fort Liberty, one of the largest military installations in the world, following the U.S. Army facilities recent purchase of a CleanTech LPC-3000-CTHD laser cleaning system.

"This is the first 3000-CTHD laser cleaning system we’ve sold to the Army," says Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. "The training we’re providing to the military for this CleanTech product will help our country's troops stay mission ready. It’s imperative that U.S. soldiers receive the best training, equipment, and resources possible, which is why we take great pride in helping the U.S. military receive just that."

Thorough training done using this cutting-edge, eco-friendly technology ensures the end users' work meets military standards while helping the Army meet objectives that assist it in developing its capabilities. To conduct the training, Laser Photonics' senior engineer traveled to Fort Liberty, formerly known as Fort Bragg, home of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). The training that took place focused on the fleet and equipment maintenance for which the product was purchased. Actual cleaning during the occasion was conducted by military personnel and guided by Laser Photonics.

Areas cleaned included the vehicle's surface, engine block, windows, and rims. A wide selection of large, rusted metal parts and pieces were also cleaned, giving Army Special Operation Force (ARSOF) maintenance crews a great opportunity to develop techniques and procedures for applying such emerging technologies.

The CleanTech LPC-3000-CTHD is the most powerful laser cleaning system the military has bought from Laser Photonics to date, and its sale along with this training exercise indicates the technology's increasing presence in the defense and military industry. Fort Liberty chose Laser Photonics as their supplier for laser cleaning technology due to the company's dependable, effective, and easy-to-implement products. Operators at the base will utilize the technology to maintain and clean vehicles and other equipment in a time-efficient and cost-effective manner.
