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. You need to be the judge but 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.
