Laser cut parts

What machines are out there to remove oxide from the edges of laser cut parts prior to paint?

Hi Dean,

This oxide can be effectively removed by chemical means. Proprietary products are available for this purpose.

Any mechanical machine system will remove oxides as well as some chemical processes; therefore, your question is hard to answer. Maybe you should ask how much labor, time, or cost of equipment do you want to spend and/or what is the desired end result and is the part(s) to be treated or painted.
