Tool Tips

What maintenance do Elettrolaser and Orion lasers require?

Elettrolaser/Orion laser systems are built for durability and long-term reliability. They are not completely maintenance-free, but the level of upkeep required is minimal and does not usually need specialist skills. Like all industrial laser systems used for welding, engraving, or marking, regular maintenance is important for performance, accuracy, and machine lifespan.

Essential Maintenance Requirements

  1. Routine Cleaning

Routine cleaning is the most important ongoing maintenance task.

  • In laser marking applications, metal dust and debris can collect quickly. A clean optical path protects beam quality and prevents damage.
  • In laser welding systems, spatter and residue can affect both the working chamber and any exposed optics.

Regular cleaning helps the laser deliver consistent power and keeps all optical components functioning correctly.

  1. Inspecting and Replacing Consumables

These systems use very few consumable parts, but some items do require attention.

  • Protective windows in welding heads should be checked for scratches, burn marks, or visible contamination.
  • When these windows become damaged or dirty, they should be replaced to maintain welding accuracy and prevent power loss.

These parts are inexpensive and play an important role in protecting the internal optics.

  1. Cooling System Care

A reliable cooling system is essential for safe and efficient operation.

  • Check coolant levels regularly.
  • Refresh the coolant as recommended to prevent contamination or overheating.
  • Keep the internal cooling circuit and external chiller clean and unobstructed.

Good cooling maintenance reduces wear on internal components and supports consistent machine performance.

  1. Scheduled Preventative Maintenance

Elettrolaser/Orion recommends a more complete service every two to three years. This service normally includes:

  • Internal cleaning
  • Optical path checks
  • Electrical inspections
  • Calibration and functional testing

Heavier industrial users may benefit from shorter service intervals, while light-use jewellery workshops often fall closer to the upper end of the recommended cycle.

 

Operator Responsibilities

Operators handle most of the day-to-day care that keeps the laser running reliably. This includes:

  • Wiping nozzles and internal surfaces
  • Checking the condition of protective windows
  • Keeping the work area clean
  • Monitoring basic settings and operating conditions

These small, regular tasks help maintain stable performance.

Manufacturer and Technician Support
