Hello everyone,
i have bought a new fiber laser engraving machine. It is a machine i bought from hong kong/china.
I have a couple of questions regarding the machine. Any help or response will be greatly appreciated.
The machine states that it can be used for 100,000 hours. Does this literally mean that the laser can run for that amout of time before the laser burns out? My machine has power ranging from 0-100 and i usually use the 50power to75 power. Will running the laser on higher power burn out the machine much quicker?
Also are there any specific maintainance or tips anyone can advise in using the machine so it doesnt get broken?
I have not yet opened up the machine for maintainance because it is new. There are no bulbs or laser lamps inside am i correct? And if the 100,000 finishes the machine cannot be used anymore?
I have bought a YAG machine before and only after two years it broke down. I bought different lamps from my supplier and tried many times but all the replacement lamps i tried did not work. Also i checked all parts of the yag machineand even checked the power supply and replaced the mother board and it still did not work. I ended up buying a new fiber laser machine.
I am worried that the same may happen to my fiber laser if we do large batches to engrave and i dont want the same to happen to it like what happened to my yag laser.
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you
