Maintenance work 

(summary)

Precitec KG

 offers expert maintenance and repair services for its products.

Care/ cleaning

The following work must be carried out regularly and before working on the 
laser head:
• Check the media and cable connections, the head fixing, cartridge and 

nozzle 

(nozzle electrode)

 to ensure that they are connected firmly and do not 

have any play.

• Remove any contamination.

Checking pressure tightness

The laser head must be checked for leaks regularly. If necessary, the gaskets 
and seals 

(wearing parts)

 must be replaced.

Wearing parts

The parts below must be maintained and replaced if worn:
• Nozzle electrode and ceramic part
• Protective window 

(protective window cartridge)

Electrical contacts

To ensure that the sensor system works reliably, the electrical contact surfaces 
on the parts below must be clean:
• Nozzle electrode and ceramic part
• Sensor insert and BNC connection

Corrosion in the 
water cooling circuit

To avoid any corrosion the instructions and maintenance intervals prescribed 
by the machine manufacturer, laser source manufacturer or cooling unit 
manufacturer must be observed.

To protect the water cooling circuit 

(stainless steel)

 against electro-chemical 

corrosion, copper or brass connections must not be used. Only stainless steel 
or plastic connections can be used.

To keep the laser head working reliably, Precitec recommends that the 
cooling water is checked for microbiological contamination every 6 months 

(microbiological contamination < 100 cfu/ml, e.g. VARIDOS bacterial test kit from Nalco, 
www.nalco.com)

.

If, as a result of such tests, test parameter limits are exceeded, the cooling 
water must be replaced and the cooling circuit cleaned or rinsed.

Attention – Unsuitable spare parts!

Unsuitable spare parts can damage or destroy components. Only use the 
spare parts supplied by Precitec or original spare parts.

If tightness cannot be achieved by doing this, the laser head must be checked 
by the manufacturer.

For pure stainless steel circuits 

use only

 water with a conductivity value 

prescribed by the laser manufacturer

.

Warning!

Any protective or safety equipment removed must be fitted again prior to the 
commissioning or setting up of the laser head - then checked to ensure it is 
working properly.
