Laser Photonics Corporation is streamlining maintenance for the commercial trucking industry by enabling fleet remanufacturing shops to meet RP 374 guidelines. The Company’s automated laser cleaning solutions address the exterior maintenance of Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and Diesel Oxidation Catalysts (DOCs), which is critical for achieving gas-tight seals and successful reassembly. These systems help shops comply with standards introduced by the Technology & Maintenance Council of the American Trucking Association.
While RP 374 governs interior cleaning, exterior housings accumulate grime, corrosion, and soot over extensive road use. Laser Photonics pairs advanced laser cleaning technology with automation to resolve this exterior preparation. The Company’s CleanTech systems are currently operational in leading remanufacturing facilities, demonstrating commercial viability and efficiency on a large scale.
"We deliver custom robotic CleanTech solutions that help fleet service shops align with strict maintenance protocols like RP 374," said Wayne Tupuola, CEO of Laser Photonics. He cited a large facility in Utah that implemented the system, streamlining a previously labor-intensive process to capture time and cost savings while maintaining total compliance.
The technology offers several key advantages for maintenance operations. It eliminates legacy setbacks by replacing processes that generate hazardous waste and risk damaging sensitive surfaces. The non-contact laser beam vaporizes contaminants without altering the underlying metal, protecting component integrity. Additionally, the media-free operation reduces disposal costs and environmental impact while accelerating throughput for faster fleet turnaround.
Laser Photonics provides automation solutions combining robotics and laser cleaning. These systems feature mechanized transport and rotation specialized for cylindrical parts like DPFs and DOCs, offering a complete workflow ready for deployment.
