The efficiency and productivity of your laser engraver or laser cutting machine depend largely on how well it is maintained. Smoke, dust, or residue build-up inside the laser system or the mechanical components can cause several avoidable issues.
If you examine your laser engraver only when it has started malfunctioning, it will take you too much time and efforts to take up to troubleshoot and fix the problem. Therefore, it’s always a good idea to regularly examine your laser engraver by following the maintenance manuals and making sure you use high-quality machine parts.
Here are some basic maintenance suggestions for your laser engraver machine to keep its quality output, consistent reliability, and extended product lifetime.
▶ Clean the Working Table and Motion System
*Note: Never pour or spray oil, alcohol, or acetone directly on the worktable, as this may lead to fires or soot build-up if improperly used.
▶ Lubricate the X/Y Axis Linear Rail System
*Note: Too much oil or NSK PS2 grease applied to the Y-axis rails will accelerate the debris building up.
▶ Clean the Mirrors
After you have removed each mirror, you will want to inspect each mirror for scratches, soot, or debris.
▶ Clean the Focal Lens
!! The recommended lens cleaner is Eclipse Cleaning System Solution from Photographic Solutions or HPLC grade Methanol.
▶ Clean Exhaust Duct
*Note: DO NOT apply any finger pressure or other cleaner to the lens surface.
Efficient exhaust ventilation is crucial to laser cutting quality. Suggest cleaning accumulated dust inside the exhaust duct regularly, as it helps to maintain the ventilation efficiency of your laser engraver.
