6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your BLC-3000 Laser Cleaning Machine:

• Water Cooling System: Regularly check the water level in the tank and replenish with deionized, distilled, or purified water as needed. It is recommended to replace the water periodically to prevent algae growth or contamination.
• Protective Lens: Inspect the protective lenses on the laser gun regularly for any signs of damage, dust, or debris. Clean them gently with a suitable lens cleaning solution and cloth, or replace them if necessary. Two spare protective lenses are included in the package.
• Machine Exterior: Keep the exterior of the machine clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the integrated cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage to the flame-retardant fabric. Ensure the cable is not kinked or pinched during storage or operation.
• Storage: When not in use, store the machine in a dry, dust-free environment, away from extreme temperatures.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your BLC-3000 Laser Cleaning Machine, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Machine Not Powering On: Check the main power connection and ensure the power outlet is functional. Verify that the transformer (if used) is correctly connected and supplying the required 380V 3-phase power.
• No Laser Output: Ensure the laser gun is securely connected to the machine. Confirm that the safety switch on the laser gun has been double-clicked to activate. Check the smart control panel for any error messages or indicators.
• Poor Cleaning Performance: Verify that the protective lens is clean and undamaged. Adjust the cleaning parameters (power, scan width, frequency) on the smart control panel according to the material and contamination type. Ensure the water cooling system is functioning correctly and the water level is adequate.
• Overheating Warning: Check the water level in the cooling tank. Ensure there are no obstructions to the machine's ventilation ports. Verify that the ambient temperature is within the operating range.
