MAINTENANCE
Lasercheck has been designed and assembled by skilled and experienced engineers and technicians. All
components used in the system operate well within their rated specifications to ensure long life and
reliability of the Lasercheck system. Electronics, lasers, and detectors are all solid-state devices and should
not need to be serviced or maintained by the user.
The controller housing is made from impact-resistant ABS and is colored black. The housing is not
waterproof, but it can be subjected to moderate rain or splash without harm.
The laser head is made of machined aluminum and plastic and all electronics and optics are secured and
sealed within the head. The head is rugged enough to withstand handling that might be normally
encountered in manufacturing shop floor gage operation. The head is also water resistant and can be
subjected to moderate rain or splash without harm.
Boards and electronics used in the system are static sensitive and easily damaged by mishandling. The
Lasercheck housing and electronics are well grounded. The head is sealed at all seams and holes to protect
components from external contaminants. The user should not open the measurement head.
If opened without
prior authorization by Optical Dimensions, the warranty provided by Optical Dimensions will be void.
Cleaning the Window
The internal optics and electronics are cleaned during assembly and kept within the sealed head. The
outside windows at the bottom of the Lasercheck head will be exposed to outside contaminants and should
be cleaned at least weekly with more frequent cleanings in very dirty environments. Dust and light visible
films will not affect Lasercheck performance on rougher surfaces, but on very smooth surfaces (1 to 2
µinches or smoother), even light films and dust can affect performance and should be cleaned off
frequently.
The windows are rugged, but care needs to be taken to not scratch them during operation or cleaning. They
should only be cleaned with ethanol, methanol, or a glass cleaner and a soft, clean paper towel, tissue, or Q-
tip.
