## Description

Rust, mill scale and flaking paint don't have to mean the metal is scrap. A laser cleaning head lifts contamination off a metal surface without abrasives, chemicals or media blasting, all very labour-intensive - so an old gate, a rusted chassis or a weld seam can be brought back to bare metal for welding, painting or general finishing .

The MaxClean accessory clears a 45 mm wide swathe in a single pass. Most handheld cleaning heads work to around 15 mm, so a job that would take three passes takes one.

Safety is built into the mechanism rather than bolted on. The head is contact-triggered: it will only fire while it is physically touching the workpiece, so there is no beam emitted across an air gap. It fits the xTool MetalFab laser welder, sharing the machine's existing source and controller — no second machine, no separate footprint on the bench.

### Features

- Strips rust and paint back to clean, weldable base metal without abrasives, solvents or blast media — no consumable grit and no masking.
- Covers up to 45 mm of width per pass, roughly three times the width of a typical 15 mm handheld cleaning head, cutting the pass count on panels, beams and tanks.
- Contact-triggered firing means the laser only activates against the workpiece, removing the free-air emission risk that comes with distance-triggered heads.
- Handles post-weld cleanup as well as restoration work, so scale and discolouration come off the seam on the same machine that laid it down.
- Official xTool hardware - it mounts to the MetalFab's own source and controller, so beam alignment and interlocks are handled by the machine rather than an adapter.
- Ships with a spare cleaning lens and dust plug, the two parts that see the worst of the spatter and fume.
