Applications

From equipment supply and maintenance to full field execution, XSI’s Ablation Group delivers precise, efficient, and environmentally responsible surface preparation solutions. Our laser ablation technology enables controlled removal of coatings and contaminants without abrasive media, reducing secondary waste, minimizing exposure, and protecting the underlying substrate. This approach provides consistent, repeatable results across a wide range of industrial and specialty applications.

Ablation Applications Include:

• Metal Paint & Coating Removal – Clean, selective stripping of coatings while preserving base material integrity
• Steel Construction & Rust Removal – Effective oxidation and surface contaminant removal for repair, inspection, or recoating
• Graffiti Removal – Non-damaging surface restoration for industrial and commercial assets
• Automotive Applications – Precision cleaning for components, restoration, and specialty finishes
• Mill Scale Removal – Controlled removal to prepare steel surfaces for welding, inspection, or coating
• Resin Removal – Safe and effective removal of cured resins and composites without mechanical damage
• Bitumen & Hydrocarbon Cleaning – Efficient cleaning of heavy residues with minimal waste generation
  

Sales, Rental & Training 

Sales

 XSI supplies industrial laser ablation systems designed for demanding field and shop environments, including both 1D and 2D ablation platforms and high-power 2000W configurations. Our systems support precise, controlled removal of coatings, corrosion, mill scale, and hydrocarbons without abrasive media or secondary waste. Backed by application guidance, commissioning support, and service expertise, XSI ensures clients select the right laser configuration for their operational, safety, and productivity requirements.

Rental

XSI offers flexible rental solutions for laser ablation equipment, providing access to 1D and 2D cleaning systems and high-power 2000W lasers without the commitment of ownership. Rental packages can be configured for short-term projects, turnarounds, or trial deployments and are supported by technical onboarding, field support, and maintenance. This approach allows clients to deploy laser ablation quickly and efficiently while maintaining cost control and operational flexibility.  

Training 

XSI’s Laser Safety Officer (LSO) training course is designed for personnel working with industrial laser systems across a wide range of applications. The course supports individuals involved in laser operations such as cutting, welding, surface preparation, and inspection, as well as those overseeing laser use in industrial, research, and educational environments. Structured to accommodate all experience levels, the training provides practical, standards-based instruction to support safe laser operation, regulatory compliance, and effective program oversight.
