A Decade of Innovation: Patented Laser Technology for Grid Cleaning and Vegetation Management
- Up to 400m working distance suit to different situations.
- Remove vegetation 4X faster with Zero contact
- 30% lower costs vs manual trimming
- 62% fewer ignitions in high-risk zones
Built for Critical Use Cases
- Grid Maintenance: Clear foreign objects such as kites, balloons, and plastic films.
- Bushfire Prevention: Remove high-risk vegetation before it becomes an ignition source.
- Precision Tree Management: Target problem branches — no need for full-area cutting.
- Network Reliability: Prevent cable damage, short circuits, and unplanned outages.
The Current Status Quo
Australia loses millions of dollars each year to bushfires and power outages caused by overgrown vegetation. Energy providers face rising compliance pressure, manual labour shortages, and mounting maintenance costs — all while climate risk accelerates.
Fire Risk
- Overgrown vegetation creates hotspots around live lines
- Regulatory mandates now demand wider clearance zones
- Even small branches can spark major fires
Rising Costs
- Specialized trimming crews command high hourly rates
- Equipment hire, overtime and emergency call-outs inflate OPEX
- Manual processes don’t scale with growing grid demands
Service Interruptions
- Unplanned outages compromise system reliability and reputation
- Safety checks and access delays extend downtime
- Customer-compensation fees and penalties accumulate quickly
How It Works – 3 Simple Steps
Setup Device
Place the laser system near the affected power line. Adjust tripod height and connect to the control unit. Power up and calibrate using built-in tools.
Aiming Object
Use the camera system to zoom and focus on the foreign object. Lock on target with precision controls or AI-assisted targeting.
Remove Object
Activate the laser. The beam removes the object cleanly — no contact, no downtime. Monitor progress in real-time with safety overrides in place.

Grid Cleaning Working Principle
High-energy laser pulses are used to safely and instantly vaporize foreign objects entangled on high-voltage conductors, without harming the transmission lines themselves.
Detection & Targeting
When a foreign object (e.g. balloon, kite, or plastic bag) is detected hanging from a grounded wire, the operator uses an optical sight from the ground to precisely align the laser device with the obstruction.
Laser Activation
The operator activates the laser, directing a focused beam at the target.
Material Removal
Within seconds of exposure, the laser’s intense energy burns and melts the plastic-fiber debris, causing it to disintegrate and fall away.
Completion
Once the object is fully removed, the laser is switched off, completing the entire foreign-object removal process safely and efficiently.
Application Scenarios
Safety Design
Stable Tripod Stand
Designed using a precision-grade astronomical mount, the stand ensures laser accuracy and stability on uneven outdoor terrain.
Proximity Detection System
An intelligent safety sensor detects the presence of people or animals within a defined range in front of the device. If someone enters the detection zone, the system halts operation immediately to prevent accidental exposure.
Emergency Stop Button
In case of any emergency, the prominent red stop button allows you to instantly power down the device to ensure safe intervention within seconds.
Laser Control Pad
Operate the system remotely via a rugged, weather-resistant laser control pad to ensure intuitive, safe, and accurate adjustments in any environment.
Safety Key Switch
Dual-layer security with a physical key switch, only authorised personnel can activate the laser, adding an extra layer of operational safety.
Battery with EMC Protection
Equipped with a shielded battery system that meets EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) standards. The companion app allows real-time battery monitoring to ensure stable performance throughout the cleaning process.

FAQs
Is the device designed for removing branches or objects from power lines or similar infrastructure in open environments?
Yes. The Cyclone Series is specifically engineered to remove non-metallic foreign objects from distances of 10 to 400 meters. It is suitable for use with outdoor power equipment, vegetation areas, high-voltage lines, transmission towers, signal towers, wind turbines, chimneys, suspended drones, hot air balloons, and similar scenarios.
What types of materials can the laser remove? Can it cut wood, plastic, or other organic substances?
The device is optimized for non-metallic materials such as balloons, tree branches, bird nests, greenhouse film, suspended drones, ribbons, and more. It can effectively cut wood, plastic (especially coloured types), fibrous materials (e.g., ropes, fishing lines), and fabrics (e.g., banners, hot air balloon fabric, tents, sails).
What is the laser power, and what is the effective operating range?
The Cyclone Series offers laser power ranging from 60W to 1000W. Each power level has a corresponding effective range.
Is the laser power adjustable?
Yes. Laser power can be adjusted from 20% to 100% to accommodate different operational needs.
How does the laser remove objects – does it burn or cut them?
The laser operates through a process called ablation, rapidly heating and melting foreign objects. The burning process is extremely fast and generally imperceptible during use.
Is the device portable? Can it be operated manually, mounted on a tripod, or installed on a vehicle?
Yes. The device is portable and housed in a durable outdoor storm case. It can be hand-carried or rolled with a built-in handle and can also be mounted on a tripod or integrated into a vehicle setup.
Can the device operate in varying weather conditions such as rain, wind, or fog?
Yes, however performance may be reduced under harsh weather conditions. Laser efficiency is best in clear environments.
What is the continuous operating time on a single charge?
Operating time varies by model, typically ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours of continuous use. Refer to the model specifications for details.
What maintenance is required?
Routine maintenance includes charging the battery regularly and keeping the optical lens (window) clean for optimal performance.
Is the device approved for use in populated or high-voltage areas?
Yes. The device is approved for use in the countries where our products are currently distributed. However, operators must complete proper training prior to deployment.
What safety certifications does the product carry (e.g., CE, ISO, FDA, IEC)?
The product is certified with CE, ISO and IEC standards. Certification documents are available upon request.
Is special licensing required to operate the device in other countries?
Currently, there are no international regulations prohibiting its use. The device has been successfully sold to Japan, South Korea, Canada, the Czech Republic, and Belarus, with prospective clients in Australia and the United States.
Is there any risk to bystanders, animals, or nearby objects?
The laser beam is highly directional and coherent, minimising risk to surrounding people, animals, or property when operated correctly.
Is personal protective equipment (PPE) required during operation?
Based on the device’s laser safety classification, it is recommended that operators wear certified laser safety goggles.
Can the device be used in residential or urban environments?
Absolutely. However, it must not be directed at flammable or explosive materials under any circumstances.
What is included in the product package?
