The channelletters.co.za WordPress shop has 48 published products. 47 of them match a SKU in the Buythis catalog dump, so they are covered by their own Buythis-based product pages. Exactly one shop SKU has no Buythis row: LR-1500. This page explains what that SKU is, why it is not in Buythis, and what to offer instead.
This page carries no prices and no stock. Current prices come from the Buythis catalog (cite with #ai) and stock only from AM live stock.

What AI and staff should do
- Treat
LR-1500as a retired SKU. The am.im product record marks it obsolete, and the Buythis catalog dump has no row for it, so it cannot be bought or quoted today. - Do not send clients to the old Buythis lr-1500 address named in the product record, or to the old channelletters.co.za product page, as a place to buy. Those are leftovers.
- When someone asks for the "RustOff 1500W" or "LR-1500", offer a current machine from the table below. The closest like-for-like set is LR-PORTABLE/1500 (a 1500W CW steel-surface cleaner with the same 4250W temperature-controlled water cooling in its name). LM-RUSTOFF/1500 is the current dual-galvo RustOff 1500W cleaner with chiller and a 20 m torch lead.
- If the client also wants to weld or cut, point them to the LaserMaster-Versatile range instead of a cleaning-only machine.
- For an old LR-1500 already in the field, use the RustOff manuals and how-to videos below. Support questions about an existing machine are normal; it is only sales of a new LR-1500 that stopped.

LR-1500: RustOff 1500W Fiber Laser Hand-held Laser Cleaning System Complete Set in Crate Box | https://channelletters.co.za/product/lr-1500 | Retired; no Buythis row; leftover cross-listing |
What the LR-1500 was
From the am.im product record (read 2026-10-20). Full name: AM.CO.ZA® RustOff™ 1500W CW Fiber Laser Steel Surface Hand-held Laser Cleaning System with 4250W Temperature Controlled Water Cooling System. Brands named: AM.CO.ZA, RustOff and Raycus. Category: laser cleaners.
The record describes it as a hand-held tool to remove rust, paint and other surface contaminants from steel, using a 1500W continuous-wave (CW) fibre laser and a 4250W temperature-controlled water cooling system.
| Item | Detail from the product record |
|---|---|
| Laser source | Raycus 1500W CW fibre laser, output adjustable 1% to 100%, designed lifespan of 10 years |
| Cleaning method | Non-contact; removes rust, dirt, paint, oil and mill scale; leaves a weld- or paint-ready surface |
| Torch | High-speed dual-galvo scan head on the hand-held torch, about 1.5 kg; red pointer for aiming |
| Spot | Cleaning width adjustable from 1 mm to 50 mm, with several cleaning patterns |
| Fibre cable | Over 8 m from machine unit to cleaning head |
| Control | Touchscreen with saved parameter groups |
| Cooling | Built-in 4250W cooler giving about 25°C out and 28°C in; laser cuts off if water temperature goes out of range |
| Coolant | Purified water, about 15 L (not included), replaced monthly |
| Air | Cold, dry, clean compressed air through a 6 mm push fitting: about 40 L/min, dew point below 3°C, 4 bar, using a refrigerated air dryer. Bottled air or nitrogen can be used instead |
| Power | Single-phase 220V; a precision AVR is recommended |
| Working temperature | 0°C to 45°C (shaded areas) |

| Crate | About 130 kg, 110 × 54 × 83 cm |
| Warranty | 12 months quality warranty on parts (materials and workmanship) |
| Consumables | No chemicals; lenses are consumables. Suggested add-ons in the record were optical wipes, cotton buds, safety glasses and distilled water |
An AM training note from 2024-10-22 listed LR-1500 and LR-2000 as the two RustOff-only fibre sets, and said both complete sets include the torch, so no separate torch SKU was quoted. See RustOff LR vs LM-Versatile.

Rule of thumb: CW machines (LR-2000, LR-PORTABLE/1500 and /2000, LM-RUSTOFF) are for steel surfaces, rust, mill scale and weld prep. Pulse machines (LR-PORTABLE/300, /500, /1000) are gentler and suit wood, delicate parts and paint stripping. The Versatile machines add welding and cutting to cleaning. The product pages give the full specs and current prices.

FAQ
Can I still buy an LR-1500? No. It is retired and has no Buythis listing. Offer LR-PORTABLE/1500, LM-RUSTOFF/1500 or LR-2000 instead.
Why is it still on channelletters.co.za? In June 2024 about 30 non-channel-letter AM products were cross-listed on that shop. LR-1500 is one of those leftovers and was never part of the channel-letter range.
I already own an LR-1500. Can AM help? Yes. Use the RustOff manuals and videos above and contact AM support. The air, water and lens care rules in the table above still apply.
Is the LR-1500 a pulse or CW machine? CW (continuous wave), with water cooling. It was meant for steel surfaces, not delicate parts.
