Provided is a mold cleaning system which makes it possible to prevent scratches in a molding surface while efficiently removing dirt therefrom without requiring a hand operation by a person, even for molds having complicated molding-surface shapes. On the basis of an identification mark (D) assigned to a mold (11) and detected by a mark detector (3a) when cleaning the mold (11), the mold cleaning system obtains shape data for the molding surface (12) of the mold (11) which is stored in a database (8), and on the basis of the obtained shape data, the mold cleaning system controls the movement of arms (6a, 6b) using the control device (7), moves a laser head (4) along the molding surface (12) thereof while irradiating with a laser beam (L) supplied by a laser oscillator (2), and as a result, removes the dirt (X) adhered to the molding surface (12). |
