How to clean laser cutting machine lenses

There are various types of lenses for laser cutting machines, such as focusing lenses, protective lenses, etc. But the optical lens in the laser system is consumable. In order to extend the service life of the laser cutting machine as much as possible and reduce usage costs, it is necessary to strictly clean the lenses in accordance with this specification. During the replacement process, attention should be paid to the placement, testing, and installation of optical lenses to prevent damage and contamination.

Precautions for correctly cleaning laser cutting machine lenses:

1. Please be sure to wear finger covers or rubber gloves to install the lenses.

2. Prohibit sharp instruments to avoid scratching the surface of the lens.

3. When removing lenses, hold the edges of the lenses to avoid contact with the film layer. The environment for testing and cleaning the lenses must be dry and clean.

4. The workbench must maintain several layers of clean tissue and several cleaning lenses.

5. Do not speak above the camera and keep potential pollutants (such as food, beverages, etc.) away from the working environment.

The operating steps for correctly cleaning the lens of a laser cutting machine are as follows:

1. Blow out floating objects on the surface of the original parts by blowing a balloon.

2. Use analytical pure acetone to gently clean the lens. Cleaning should be completed in one go to avoid the generation of wavy ribs.

If acetone cannot remove all dirt, clean with acid vinegar.

When pollutants and lens damage cannot be removed and removed, the only way to restore good performance is to replace the lens.

When using the machine, the lenses should be properly cleaned and operated, so that their lifespan and performance will undoubtedly be significantly improved. This is also one of the ways we ensure the lifespan and stability of the laser cutting machine. More prevention and maintenance can make the laser cutting machine work longer, have higher stability, and bring more efficiency to the manufacturer.
