When the fiber laser output head and laser cutting head become contaminated, the pollutants will absorb laser energy, causing localized temperature rise and triggering the thermal lens effect. This phenomenon significantly reduces laser focusing performance and directly affects processing accuracy. In severe cases, it may even cause ablation damage to the mirror coating, necessitating the replacement of optical components.
However, in practice, the installation and cleaning of the fiber laser output head are not as complicated as you might think. Below are detailed steps and precautions for installation and cleaning.

Installation & Cleaning Steps
Before use, wipe the inner walls of the workbench with a lint-free cloth moistened with anhydrous ethanol or IPA.
Ensure the fiber laser output head is placed inside its packaging box to avoid contamination.
Turn on the power supply of the workbench and start the fan. Ensure it operates normally, then recheck the cleanliness level.
Once confirmed, turn on the workbench lighting and allow the environment to purify for at least 20 minutes to meet the required cleanliness standards.
Check if the protective film on the cutting head’s fiber interface is intact, and place the cutting head on the workbench.
Remove the fiber protective sleeve and use a high-intensity flashlight to inspect the fiber connection for dust or particles.
If dust or particles are found, spray IPA onto a lint-free swab and gently wipe the surface (avoid back-and-forth wiping).
Ensure the crystal is clean and free of contamination before inserting it into the cutting head.
After installing the fiber interface, use masking tape or rubber self-adhesive tape to seal the connection between the output cable and the cutting head (recommended to wrap at least 3 times).
