System Cleaning and Maintenance
Motion System
•
Turn off and unplug the laser system.
•
Open the top door and thoroughly remove all loose dirt and debris from inside the machine with a
vacuum cleaner.
•
Clean the engraving table surface with either a soap solution, or alcohol or acetone, and paper
towels.
NEVER
pour or spray any solution directly into the laser system. Always dampen your paper
towel or cloth outside of the machine with the cleaning solution and then wipe down the parts you are
cleaning with the dampened cloth.
•
Clean X-rail and the Y-rails by using either the cotton swabs or paper towels, and soap solution. Pay
close attention to the bearing tracks since any debris left to build up in these bearing tracks will cause
the bearings to wear and the engraving quality to become rough.
•
After the rails and tracks are cleaned, use a clean swab or paper towel, and soap solution to clean all
of the bearings by holding the swab against each bearing and moving the motion system by hand to
roll the bearings against the swab. There are seven bearings in the system, three (3) on the focus
carriage, two (2) on the left side of the X-rail, and two (2) on the right side of the X-rail.
The Main Enclosure
•
Clean the top window with a cotton cloth or paper towel and window cleaner. The top window is
made out of glass; therefore,
DO
NOT
use abrasive cleaning clothes because they will scratch the
glass. Also,
DO
NOT
use abrasive chemicals as these chemicals will damage the glass. Only use
cleaners compatible with glass.
•
Use a soft cloth or paper towels and the soap solution to clean the enclosure.
DO NOT
use alcohol,
acetone, or any other harsh chemical, as this will damage the paint.
Optics
A visual inspection of the #2 and #3 mirrors, beam window, and focus lens should be performed at least
once a day.
DO NOT clean an optic that is visually clean. Excessive cleaning can damage the
optic. To prevent contamination, wash your hands thoroughly before cleaning
any optic. NEVER touch any optic with your fingers. The acids from your skin
can destroy the optical coatings. NEVER clean any optic right after engraving or
cutting because the optic may be hot and the cool lens cleaning solution may
thermally shock the optic and crack it.
