VersaLASER VLS3.60, VLS4.60 and VLS6.60
Keeping the laser system clean will ensure the highest quality engraving. A clean laser system is the best performing
laser system. The frequency of cleaning will depend on the type of material being engraved, your exhaust system, the
operating environment and the amount of laser system usage over a given period of time.
Dirt or debris build-up on the motion system components will cause uneven or rough engraving, or loss of engraving
position, as well as component failure. Smoke or dirt build-up can cause damage to the optics, result in loss of laser power
or result in premature failure of these components. Always turn the laser engraving system OFF and unplug it before
performing any cleaning procedures.
