Claim Text:
1. A method of removing a coating from a surface, the method comprising: a. provide a laser light to a scanning head; b. moving the scanning head in a first direction substantially parallel to the surface at a constant speed thereby applying a first scanning pattern component to the laser light; c. configuring a first single-axis laser scanner within the scanning head to align the laser light along the second direction thereby applying a second scanning pattern component to the laser light; d. configuring a second single-axis laser scanner within the scanning head to align the laser light along a second direction thereby applying a third scanning pattern component, wherein the second scanning pattern component is equal and opposite in magnitude to the first scanning pattern component during sequential periods of time; and e. directing the laser light onto the surface according to a uniform scanning pattern, wherein the uniform scanning pattern if formed according to the first scanning pattern component, the second scanning pattern component, and the third scanning pattern component.
