Abstract
A mill scale removal system includes adjustable stands including vertical arms, horizontal arms coupled to the vertical arms, and rollers coupled to the horizontal arms and configured to support a tubular by contacting engagement with an inner radial surface or an outer radial surface at or near terminal ends of the tubular; a laser ablation system that includes at least one laser sub-assembly mounted to a rod and a first motor driveably coupled to the rod; and a rotation assembly including a second motor, a drive rod coupled to the second motor, and a rotation roller coupled to the drive rod and configured to contactingly engage the outer radial surface of the tubular.
