Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A laser-based cleaning system for cleaning generator, turbine, and boiler parts. In one aspect, the invention includes a laser-based cleaning system for cleaning a power generation component, comprising: a laser positioned remotely from the power generation component for generating a laser signal; a member having a flexible, manipulable shaft; a robotic workhead attached to the member and capable of directing a laser workhead at predetermined positions along the power generation component; a light guide that delivers a laser signal from the laser to the laser workhead, wherein the laser workhead can deliver a laser beam onto the power generation component surface to cause a cleaning; and a vacuum system for vacuuming debris created by the cleaning.
