Maintenance
Maintenance Schedule
Since the maintenance requirements of the laser system are dependent on the type of material being run, the quantity
of material being removed, the hours of operation and the quality of the exhaust blower, you should dene your own
schedule.
As a starting point, we recommend the following schedule:
As necessary
Clean engraving table•
Clean main enclosure•
Clean top door window•
Every 8 hours of engraving
Clean X-Axis and Y-Axis bearings•
Clean X-Axis and Y-Axis rails and bearing tracks•
Clean X-Axis belt•
Check beam window, #2 mirror, #3 mirror and •
focus lens for debris. Clean ONLY if dirty.
Every month
Clean cooling fan lters•
Clean Z-Axis lead screws with white lithium grease•
Check for X-Axis and Y-Axis belt wear. Replace as •
necessary.
Check and/or clean X-Axis and Y-Axis drive gears•
Check for X-Axis and Y-Axis bearing wear. Replace •
as necessary.
Inspect system for loose screws and mechanical •
parts. Tighten as necessary.
Every 6 months
Clean exhaust plenum•
Note: If you are noticing a considerable build-up of debris on the optics and the motion system, clean the system
at more frequent intervals. If your system has remained relatively clean, you can extend your cleaning intervals. Keep
in mind that a clean laser system is a better performing laser system and can extend the life of the parts as well as
reduce down time. If you have any questions about maintaining the laser system, please contact our Customer
Service Team.
