BASIC MAINTENANCE

Section 4-5

Maintenance Schedule

Since the maintenance requirements of the laser system is 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, it

must be user defined.

As a starting point, we recommend the following schedule:

• As necessary

Engraving table

Main enclosure

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 filters

Clean and re-lubricate Z-axis lead screws

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 if necessary

• Every 6 months

Exhaust plenum

If you are noticing a considerable buildup 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 machine is a better performing machine

and can extend the life of the parts as well as reduce the possibility of down time. If you have any

questions about maintaining the laser system, please contact our Service Department.
