Maintenance and Cleaning

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING 

The subsystem doesn‘t contain any components that require regular maintenance. 

Repairs may only be carried out by RAYLASE or RAYLASE certified service centers because 
special know-how and comprehensive testing methods are required. 

RAYLASE offers worldwide certified service and repair centers. 
For a service and repair center in your area, see www.raylase.com. 

6.1 

Cleaning the housing 

 

 

 

 

Warning:

 

The laser beam can cause severe injury to the eyes and the skin. Before clean-
ing, make sure that the laser device is switched off and secured against acci-
dentally being switched on. 

 

The deflection unit housing is dust proof. It can be cleaned with a duster. If it is very dirty, the 
duster can be moistened with a light and non-aggressive cleaning solution (e.g. soap solu-
tion).  

6.2 

Cleaning the optical system 

 

 

 

 

Warning:

 

The laser beam can cause severe injury to the eyes and the skin. Before clean-
ing, make sure that the laser device is switched off and secured against acci-
dentally being switched on. 

 

Dirty optical surfaces result in increased absorption of the laser radiation. This can cause the 
dirt to heat up sufficiently, so that it burns into the optical surfaces and damage them perma-
nently. 

The following circumstances can cause increased accumulation of dirt: 

  The ambient atmosphere is contaminated with dirt, grease or other particles. 

  Vapors and particles are produced while working. 

  Talking, coughing or sneezing close to optical surfaces. 

 

In general, all contamination of the optical system should be avoided wherever possible. 
However, as contamination cannot be avoided completely, the optical system must be 
cleaned at appropriate intervals. Regular checking and cleaning of the optical surfaces can 
prevent permanent damage. 

Note:

 RAYLASE accepts no liability for damaged optical components! 

Note: 

Damage caused during the laser process, e.g. when processing metals, is irreversible 

and cannot be resolved by cleaning.
