Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Do 100W Pulsed Laser Cleaning Machines Cost?
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines typically cost $5,500 to $6,500. They are compact yet sophisticated tools. Their higher price results from the advanced technology that enables precise, controlled surface cleaning without damaging the substrate. Here are the key reasons they are so expensive:

  • High-Precision Pulsed Fiber Laser Source: The core component is a high-frequency pulsed fiber laser that emits energy bursts in the nanosecond range. Manufacturing this module requires costly, rare-earth-doped fibers, micro-optical assemblies, and temperature-stable diode pumps to maintain uniform pulse output. These lasers deliver precise energy control that cheaper continuous systems cannot replicate.
  • Advanced Cooling and Power Management: Even though the power is only 100W, the internal laser diodes and drivers generate heat during operation. A sophisticated air or water-cooling system is integrated to stabilize performance, extending component life, and ensuring consistent pulse repetition.
  • Precision Optics and Scanning Head: The beam passes through specialized optics and a galvanometer scanning head that must withstand rapid oscillations and heat exposure. Anti-reflective coatings, high-speed mirrors, and quartz lenses all increase production cost but guarantee precision cleaning and stable beam quality.
  • Complex Control and Safety Electronics: Pulsed cleaning requires precise control of pulse width, frequency, and energy per pulse. The control board, power supply, and digital interface use industrial-grade components to deliver reliable operation and compliance with laser safety standards.
  • Compact Engineering and Portability: The 100W model’s small form factor hides complex integration of optics, power electronics, and cooling circuits within a durable metal housing. Its portability adds cost due to the miniaturization of industrial components without sacrificing reliability.
  • Safety Certification and Reliability: To meet Class IV laser safety standards, the machine includes interlocks, key switches, emergency stops, and warning systems. Compliance with CE, FDA, and ISO certifications adds to design and testing expenses.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines cost $5,500 – $6,500 because they combine precision optics, durable construction, and advanced pulse-control systems in a compact design. Their price reflects the engineering quality and long-term reliability needed for fine cleaning tasks on metals, molds, and delicate materials where precision and safety are critical.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines use air cooling as their primary thermal management method. Although they operate at a lower average power than high-wattage continuous systems, they still generate significant localized heat within the laser diodes and control electronics. Efficient air cooling ensures stable operation, consistent pulse quality, and long equipment life.

  • Laser Source Heat Control: The 100W pulsed laser emits short, high-energy bursts at rapid repetition rates. Each pulse produces localized heat inside the fiber laser module and diode pump system. Air cooling removes this heat through fans and heat sinks, maintaining diode temperature within optimal limits and preventing thermal drift that could alter pulse precision.
  • Optical Component Protection: The scanning head and focusing optics handle rapid beam movement and brief spikes of optical energy. Airflow directed across these components helps prevent heat accumulation that could distort the beam path or damage sensitive coatings on lenses and mirrors.
  • Power Electronics and Control Board Cooling: The internal power supply, signal processor, and pulse driver circuits generate heat during modulation and energy delivery. Air-cooling fans move heat away from these circuits to preserve stable voltage and pulse repetition frequency, which are critical for uniform cleaning performance.
  • Compact and Lightweight Design: Air cooling is chosen because it supports the portable and lightweight design of 100W pulsed systems. Unlike water cooling, air systems do not require pumps, hoses, or chillers, reducing both cost and maintenance while keeping the machine compact and mobile for field use.
  • Low Power Consumption and Quiet Operation: Since 100W pulsed lasers have lower continuous thermal output, forced-air cooling is sufficient. High-efficiency fans and aluminum heat sinks maintain safe temperatures without consuming much power or creating excessive noise, ideal for laboratory or workshop environments.

Air cooling is essential for 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines because it maintains temperature stability, protects internal optics and electronics, and supports portable operation. It provides a simple, reliable, and energy-efficient method of dissipating heat without adding the complexity of a water-cooling system—making it the perfect match for compact, precision-oriented pulsed laser cleaning applications.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are compact and efficient tools used for removing rust, paint, and oxidation layers from metal surfaces. They are much safer to use than higher-power continuous lasers, provided the correct safety procedures are followed. However, because they still emit high-intensity laser light, proper precautions are essential to ensure safe operation. Here are the main safety considerations:

  • Laser Radiation: 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines use a fiber laser that emits invisible infrared light, typically at a wavelength of 1064 nm. Direct or reflected exposure to this beam can cause serious eye injury or burns. Operators must always wear certified laser safety glasses rated for the laser’s wavelength and optical density (OD). The cleaning area should be restricted, with warning labels and laser safety signs clearly displayed to prevent accidental exposure.
  • Controlled Beam Area: Even though 100W pulsed laser cleaning systems are lower in power compared to kilowatt-level lasers, the beam can still reflect off shiny surfaces like polished steel or aluminum. These reflections may scatter in unpredictable directions, posing a risk to nearby personnel. The workspace should be enclosed or equipped with laser safety curtains or matte barriers to absorb stray light and contain the beam safely.
  • Low Risk of Thermal Damage: Because the laser operates in pulsed mode, energy is delivered in short bursts rather than continuously. This greatly reduces the risk of overheating or damaging the material surface. However, if the laser head is held too long in one spot, localized heating or slight discoloration can still occur. Operators should move the cleaning head steadily to maintain uniform exposure.
  • Minimal Fire Risk: Unlike high-power continuous lasers, 100W pulsed lasers produce relatively low heat, so the risk of igniting nearby materials is minimal. Still, flammable items such as paper, solvents, or cloth should not be kept near the cleaning area. Proper ventilation and supervision during operation remain important for fire prevention.
  • Fume and Dust Generation: Laser cleaning vaporizes surface contaminants like paint, rust, and coatings, creating fumes and fine dust. Although 100W pulsed laser cleaning systems generate less fume than higher-power lasers, a fume extraction system or dust collector should still be used to maintain air quality. Operators should also wear a dust mask or respirator, especially in enclosed spaces.
  • Cooling and Ventilation: 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are often air-cooled, meaning they require adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. The work area should have good airflow and a stable temperature to ensure consistent performance. Avoid operating the laser in extremely humid or dusty environments, as this can affect optics and electrical components.
  • Electrical Safety: These machines require a stable, grounded electrical supply. Operators should inspect power cords and connections regularly to avoid shocks or short circuits. The laser should always be turned off and unplugged before performing maintenance or moving the machine.
  • Training and Operation: While 100W pulsed laser cleaning systems are user-friendly, operators should still receive basic laser safety training. Training should cover the principles of laser operation, PPE use, safe cleaning techniques, and emergency shutdown procedures. Most modern systems have built-in interlocks and emergency stop buttons that enhance safety during use.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): In addition to laser safety glasses, operators should wear flame-resistant clothing, gloves, and safety shoes to protect against scattered light and debris. For added safety, a lightweight face shield can be worn to guard against small particles or sparks that may be released during cleaning.
  • Environment and Access Control: The cleaning zone should be clearly marked as a laser hazard area, and access should be limited while the machine is in operation. Installing safety interlocks or automatic beam shutoff systems adds an extra layer of protection in industrial settings.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are safe to use when operated with proper PPE, good ventilation, and basic laser safety practices. Their pulsed design reduces heat buildup and fire risk, making them suitable for a wide range of cleaning tasks. With proper training and safety measures, these machines can be used confidently and effectively in industrial, restoration, or maintenance environments.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are reliable tools designed for long-term industrial and maintenance use. Their service life depends largely on the quality of components, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. In general, these machines have a long lifespan, offering years of consistent performance when properly cared for. Here are the key points regarding their service life:

  • Laser Source Lifespan: The core component of 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines is the fiber laser source. High-quality fiber lasers typically have a service life of up to 100,000 hours, which translates to more than ten years of normal operation. This long lifespan is one of the major advantages of fiber laser technology. Because the laser beam is generated within an optical fiber, there are no mirrors, gas tubes, or delicate optical alignments to wear out over time.
  • Optical Components: The protective lens, mirrors, and scanning head experience more wear than the laser source itself. These components can become coated with dust, fumes, or debris during use. Regular cleaning and replacement are necessary to maintain consistent beam quality. With proper care, optical lenses can last 6 to 12 months, depending on the working environment and cleaning intensity.
  • Cooling System: Most 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are air-cooled, which simplifies maintenance and reduces the chance of failure compared to water-cooled systems. However, the cooling fans and air filters should be cleaned or replaced regularly to prevent overheating and ensure stable performance. When maintained properly, air-cooling systems can function reliably for five years or more.
  • Electrical and Control Systems: The machine’s control electronics, software, and power supply are designed for industrial use and can last for many years if protected from dust, moisture, and voltage fluctuations. Using a stable power source and performing regular inspections helps prevent electrical issues that could shorten the lifespan.
  • Mechanical and Scanning Head Durability: The galvanometer scanning head, which directs the laser beam, has moving parts that wear gradually. Over time, repeated use may cause minor alignment drift or reduced response speed. With proper cooling and dust protection, the scanning head can last around 20,000 to 30,000 hours before requiring recalibration or replacement.
  • Maintenance Impact: Regular maintenance has a significant effect on service life. Keeping the optics clean, ensuring proper ventilation, and maintaining a dust-free workspace help prevent early component wear. Following the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule—such as inspecting connections, cleaning lenses, and updating software—extends the overall lifespan of the system.
  • Operating Environment: The service life of the machine also depends on environmental conditions. Machines used in clean, temperature-controlled workshops typically last longer than those exposed to moisture, dust, or vibration. Operating the system within its recommended temperature range (10℃–35℃) and humidity range (30%–70%) helps preserve both optical and electrical components.
  • Typical Overall Lifespan: When operated under normal conditions with regular care, 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines can deliver 8 to 12 years of reliable service. The laser source itself often outlasts other parts, so routine replacement of optical and cooling components is usually all that’s needed to maintain long-term performance.
  • End-of-Life Indicators: Over time, users may notice gradual decreases in laser output power, slower cleaning efficiency, or increased heat during operation. These signs typically indicate that optical components or the laser source are approaching the end of their lifespan. Replacing affected parts or recalibrating the system can restore performance.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines have a long service life of up to 100,000 working hours, supported by durable fiber laser technology and low maintenance requirements. With proper care, these systems can remain efficient, stable, and cost-effective for over a decade of regular industrial use.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are compact, efficient, and easy to use, making them popular for light-duty surface cleaning and restoration. However, despite their advantages, they also have several limitations and disadvantages that users should be aware of. Here are the main drawbacks:

  • Limited Cleaning Power: A 100W pulsed laser provides relatively low output compared to higher-power systems. While it can effectively remove light rust, thin paint, and surface oxidation, it struggles with thick corrosion, heavy coatings, or deep contaminants. For industrial-scale cleaning or large metal surfaces, higher-power lasers such as 200W–500W are more suitable.
  • Slower Cleaning Speed: Because of its lower power level, a 100W pulsed laser cleans more slowly. It takes longer to remove contaminants, especially on large areas or heavily corroded surfaces. This can make it less efficient for high-volume or time-sensitive cleaning jobs.
  • Small Cleaning Area: The beam spot size and scanning area of 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are smaller than those of more powerful models. As a result, each pass covers less surface area, requiring more time and effort for full cleaning. This makes it better suited for precision work or small parts rather than large industrial surfaces.
  • Limited Depth Removal: 100W pulsed lasers are designed mainly for surface-level cleaning. They are not effective for removing thick layers of paint, scale, or rust that penetrate deeper into the material. In such cases, multiple passes are needed, which increases operation time.
  • Not Suitable for All Materials: While 100W pulsed lasers work well on metals such as steel, aluminum, and copper, they are less effective on non-metals or organic materials. They cannot clean surfaces like rubber, plastic, or composite materials without causing damage or melting. This limits their application range in certain industries.
  • High Equipment Cost Compared to Alternatives: Although cheaper than high-power laser cleaners, 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines still cost significantly more than traditional cleaning tools such as sandblasters, grinders, or chemical treatments. For users who only need occasional cleaning, the investment may not be cost-effective.
  • Power and Beam Limitations: Because the laser is pulsed, the energy is delivered in short bursts rather than continuously. This makes it very precise but less effective for tasks requiring high energy density or rapid material removal. Users must balance pulse duration and repetition rate carefully to optimize performance.
  • Fume and Dust Generation: Even at 100W, laser cleaning produces smoke, fine dust, and vaporized particles from the material being treated. Without proper fume extraction or ventilation, these byproducts can contaminate optics, reduce air quality, or pose health risks.
  • Environmental Sensitivity: Pulsed lasers require clean, dry, and stable environments for consistent operation. Excess dust, vibration, or humidity can interfere with beam stability and cause optics to degrade faster. Operators must ensure the workspace is well-maintained to avoid performance issues.
  • Operator Skill Requirement: While relatively easy to operate, achieving the best results still requires skill and understanding of laser parameters such as pulse energy, frequency, and focus distance. Incorrect settings can lead to uneven cleaning, surface discoloration, or reduced efficiency.
  • Maintenance of Optical Components: The protective lens and scanning head need regular inspection and cleaning. Dust or debris buildup can reduce beam transmission and damage optical coatings. Replacing these parts periodically adds to long-term maintenance costs.
  • Limited Industrial Use: 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are mainly designed for small-scale or precision work, such as cleaning molds, removing light oxidation, or restoring antiques. They are not ideal for heavy-duty industrial applications that require faster throughput or deep cleaning power.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are safe, precise, and low-maintenance, but their disadvantages include limited cleaning strength, slower speed, and a smaller work area. They are best suited for light-duty cleaning tasks, small parts, or surface preparation jobs where precision is more important than speed or large-scale removal.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are smaller and safer than high-power continuous systems, but they still use concentrated laser energy capable of causing injury or damage if safety precautions are not followed. Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) is essential to ensure safe operation. Here is the PPE required when using 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines:

  • Laser Safety Glasses: The most important PPE for laser operation is certified laser safety eyewear. Operators and anyone nearby must wear glasses rated for the machine’s wavelength—typically 1064 nm for fiber lasers—and with an optical density (OD) appropriate to block harmful infrared radiation. The glasses should meet EN 207/EN 208 or ANSI Z136 safety standards. Without proper eye protection, even indirect or reflected laser exposure can cause permanent eye damage.
  • Protective Clothing: Operators should wear flame-resistant, non-reflective clothing made of natural fibers such as cotton or specially treated materials. Synthetic fabrics like polyester or nylon can melt if exposed to heat or scattered laser light. Long sleeves and full-length pants protect the skin from possible burns, heat, or scattered light reflections. Clothing should not include shiny accessories, metal zippers, or reflective logos, as these can reflect the laser beam.
  • Gloves: Heat-resistant gloves protect the operator’s hands from hot surfaces or metal parts after cleaning. Leather or other non-reflective materials are ideal. Thin rubber or plastic gloves should be avoided because they can melt or catch fire if accidentally exposed to the beam.
  • Respiratory Protection: Even at 100W, laser cleaning vaporizes rust, paint, and coatings, generating fine dust and fumes. Operators should wear a dust mask or respirator rated for fine particulates and metal fumes (N95 or P100 equivalent). When cleaning in enclosed areas or working on painted or coated materials, a local fume extraction system is strongly recommended to maintain clean air and protect respiratory health.
  • Face Shield (Optional but Recommended): While laser safety glasses protect the eyes, a full-face shield offers extra protection against flying debris, dust, or hot particles. It also provides an additional layer of defense in case of accidental light scatter. The shield should be non-reflective and compatible with laser use.
  • Safety Footwear: Industrial-grade safety shoes with non-slip, heat-resistant soles protect against dropped metal parts and hot debris. Steel-toe or composite-toe boots are suitable, but reflective or shiny footwear should be avoided to prevent unintended beam reflections.
  • Hearing Protection (As Needed): 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are generally quiet, but fume extractors and cooling fans can generate moderate noise during operation. In noisy industrial environments, wearing earplugs or earmuffs helps prevent hearing fatigue.
  • Head and Hair Protection: Operators with long hair should tie it back or wear a protective cap to keep it away from the work area. A non-reflective head covering or hood can be worn to protect against light scatter and dust exposure.
  • High-Visibility Vest (For Industrial Environments): When operating the machine in shared workspaces or large facilities, a high-visibility vest helps ensure the operator is clearly seen. However, the vest should be matte or non-reflective to avoid reflecting the laser beam.
  • Additional Safety Controls: Beyond personal PPE, environmental safety measures are equally important. The work area should be enclosed with laser safety curtains or barriers rated for 1064 nm fiber lasers. Warning lights, hazard labels, and restricted access zones should be clearly established. These measures protect both operators and bystanders from accidental exposure.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines require laser safety glasses, protective clothing, gloves, and respiratory protection as standard PPE. Even though they are lower in power than industrial continuous systems, proper protective equipment ensures safe operation by shielding against laser radiation, heat, and airborne particles during cleaning.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are compact and reliable systems that perform best in clean, stable environments. While they are more flexible than high-power continuous lasers, maintaining proper environmental conditions is still essential for consistent performance, safety, and long equipment life. Here are the environmental requirements for 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines:

  • Operating Temperature: The ideal operating temperature for 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines is between 10℃ and 35℃ (50℉ to 95℉). Operating below or above this range can affect the stability of the laser source and the electronics. At low temperatures, condensation may form on optical components, while excessive heat can reduce laser efficiency and strain the cooling system. Keeping the machine in a temperature-controlled room ensures optimal cleaning results and prevents premature wear.
  • Humidity Control: The relative humidity should be kept between 30% and 70%, with no condensation. High humidity can cause corrosion on optical lenses and electrical components, while very low humidity increases the risk of static discharge, which can harm sensitive electronics. In humid climates, a dehumidifier or air conditioning system helps maintain safe humidity levels for laser operation.
  • Clean, Dust-Free Environment: Dust and airborne particles can interfere with the laser beam and contaminate optical components such as the protective lens or scanning head. A clean workspace minimizes the risk of optical degradation and ensures consistent cleaning performance. The machine should be kept away from grinding, sanding, or other dust-generating activities. Installing an air filtration system or keeping the workspace enclosed helps reduce airborne contamination.
  • Ventilation and Air Quality: Laser cleaning vaporizes rust, paint, and coatings, creating fumes and fine dust particles. Even though 100W pulsed laser cleaning systems generate less smoke than high-power lasers, proper ventilation is still essential. A fume extraction system or dust collector equipped with HEPA and activated carbon filters should be used to remove smoke and harmful gases from the work area. Clean air prevents operator exposure and helps maintain optical clarity.
  • Stable Electrical Supply: 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines require a stable, grounded power supply. Voltage fluctuations or power surges can cause system errors or reduce the lifespan of electrical components. Using a voltage stabilizer or uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protects the laser system from electrical instability, especially in facilities with variable power quality.
  • Cooling and Airflow: Most 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines use air cooling, which depends on proper airflow around the machine’s vents and fans. The unit should be placed at least 0.3–0.5 meters away from walls or obstacles to allow unrestricted air circulation. Avoid blocking vents or placing the system near heat sources such as furnaces or direct sunlight. Regularly clean air filters and fans to prevent overheating and ensure stable performance.
  • Work Area Layout: The workspace should be organized and free of reflective materials that could bounce the laser beam. Reflective metal surfaces, mirrors, or polished tools near the cleaning zone can scatter the laser light and create safety hazards. The area should be enclosed with laser-safe barriers or curtains rated for 1064 nm fiber lasers. Adequate lighting, non-reflective flooring, and warning signage should also be present.
  • Environmental Safety Precautions: Because laser cleaning produces airborne contaminants, operators should always work in a well-ventilated area with access to emergency stop controls and fire extinguishers. Avoid using the laser in confined, unventilated spaces without a proper exhaust system.
  • Storage Conditions: When the machine is not in use, it should be stored in a dry, clean, and temperature-stable environment. Fiber cables should be neatly coiled without sharp bends, and optical ports should be capped to prevent dust accumulation. The laser unit should be covered with a protective dust cover during long-term storage.
  • Vibration and Stability: The pulsed laser cleaning machine should be placed on a stable, vibration-free surface. Excessive vibration can affect the precision of the scanning head and reduce cleaning accuracy. Avoid operating the machine near heavy equipment that causes floor vibrations or mechanical shocks.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines operate best in clean, dry, and temperature-controlled environments with good ventilation and stable power. Maintaining these environmental conditions ensures consistent cleaning performance, protects sensitive optical components, and extends the lifespan of the machine.
100W pulsed laser cleaning machines are precision tools that deliver reliable performance with minimal maintenance. However, regular care and inspection are essential to keep the system running efficiently and extend its service life. Here are the key maintenance practices for 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines:

  • Optical Lens Maintenance: The protective lens in front of the laser scanner is one of the most critical components. Dust, smoke, and debris can accumulate on the lens during operation, reducing beam quality and cleaning performance. The lens should be inspected daily and cleaned regularly using lens wipes and isopropyl alcohol. Never touch the lens directly with bare fingers, as oils can damage the optical coating. If the lens becomes scratched or discolored, it should be replaced immediately to prevent further optical distortion or reduced output power.
  • Cooling System Check: Most 100W pulsed laser cleaning machines use an air-cooling system to control operating temperature. The air inlets and outlets must remain unobstructed to maintain proper airflow. Regularly check and clean the cooling fans and air filters to prevent dust buildup. If the system uses a small water chiller instead of air cooling, ensure that the coolant level is sufficient, the water is clean, and there are no leaks in the hoses. Replace the coolant every 3–6 months to prevent contamination.
  • Laser Source Inspection: The laser source is the core of the cleaning machine. Although fiber lasers are nearly maintenance-free, they should still be inspected periodically. Check the fiber connections for tightness and cleanliness, ensuring that no dust or oil has entered the connectors. The optical fiber should be handled carefully—avoid sharp bends or pressure that could damage it.
  • Electrical and Cable Checks: Inspect all power cables, signal lines, and grounding wires for wear or looseness. Ensure that the power supply is stable and that connections are tight. Damaged or frayed cables should be replaced immediately to prevent electrical faults. The grounding connection should always be secure to protect both the operator and the machine from static or electrical discharge.
  • Cleaning the Housing and Work Area: Keep the exterior of the laser machine and the surrounding workspace clean. Wipe the housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust. Avoid using solvents or cleaning sprays directly on the equipment. Maintaining a clean environment prevents debris from entering vents or optical openings, which could interfere with performance.
  • Scanning Head Maintenance: The scanning head contains precision mirrors and electronics that control the laser beam movement. It should be handled gently and kept free from vibration, dust, or shock. Avoid direct contact with the scanning mirror or attempting to open the unit without authorization. If any abnormal noise, overheating, or erratic scanning behavior is observed, the system should be serviced by a qualified technician.
  • Software and Firmware Updates: Periodically check for available software or firmware updates from the manufacturer. Updated versions often include improvements in beam control, safety features, and performance stability. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when performing updates to avoid configuration issues.
  • Fume Extraction System Maintenance: If a fume extraction system is connected, inspect the filters, hoses, and ducts regularly. Replace HEPA and carbon filters according to the manufacturer’s schedule or sooner if performance decreases. Blocked filters can reduce suction efficiency and cause smoke buildup near the lens, increasing contamination risk.
  • Safety System Inspection: Ensure that all emergency stop buttons, warning lights, and interlock systems function properly. Test the laser safety curtain or enclosure regularly to confirm that it effectively blocks stray radiation. Replace damaged safety components immediately to maintain compliance with laser safety standards.
  • Periodic Professional Servicing: While most routine maintenance can be performed by the operator, professional servicing is recommended at least once a year. A certified technician can check laser alignment, internal optics, and power output to ensure the system operates at full capacity. Preventive servicing helps detect potential issues early and reduces downtime.
  • Storage Care: If the laser cleaning machine will not be used for an extended period, store it in a dry, temperature-controlled, and dust-free environment. Disconnect the power supply, cover the unit with a dust cover, and coil the fiber cable neatly. Before restarting the system after long storage, inspect all connections and clean the optics.

100W pulsed laser cleaning machines require regular lens cleaning, cooling system checks, and electrical inspections to maintain performance. Keeping the workspace clean, ensuring good airflow, and following a routine maintenance schedule help prevent damage, ensure stable output, and extend the life of the laser system.
