Operation & Maintenance Guidelines of Protective Lens

Operation & Maintenance Guidelines

The cleanliness of the protective lens directly affects the service life of the laser head. Proper handling and maintenance can help extend the lens replacement cycle.

1. Install in a Clean Environment

Replace the protective lens in a relatively clean environment with minimal airborne dust or particles.

2. Wear Protective Gloves

Always wear clean finger cots or powder-free gloves when replacing the lens. Never touch the optical surface directly with your fingers.

3. Handle by the Edges

When handling the lens, hold it only by the outer edge. Avoid touching the optical surfaces.

4. Clean Properly

Use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and lint-free optical wipes for cleaning. Do not clean the lens in circular motions or apply excessive pressure.

5. Inspect Regularly

If you notice coating damage, persistent burn marks, or deep scratches that cannot be removed through proper cleaning, replace the lens promptly to prevent reflected laser energy from damaging internal collimating or focusing optics.
