Laser Lens Care and Maintenance Tips

Small films of smoke lower transmission and raise heat, leading to drift and micro-cracks.

Routine cleaning restores throughput and protects coatings.

Daily: quick visual check, dust blow-off, and gentle wipe if needed.

Weekly: full inspection, seating check, and focus verification at low power.

Do: use filtered air and fresh swabs. Don’t: press hard or reuse tissues.

Store lenses in dry, sealed cases with desiccant when not in use.

Keep lenses in individual, dust-proof cases lined with soft padding to avoid scratches.

Maintain storage in a low-humidity environment with desiccant packs to prevent moisture damage.

If you notice power loss or irregular beam shape, check for lens contamination or coating damage.

Replace lenses showing signs of deep scratches, burns, or pitting to maintain cutting performance.
