Installed between a laser’s optical component and the work area, protective windows or laser debris shields protect the optics from dust, vapors, fumes, fragments, slag, and so on. The quality of the protective window is very important to avoid down-time, and also to increase the lifetime of your optics components, specifically the lens and/or normal operation of the laser, keeping the quality and performance of the laser system.

By the nature of their use, laser debris shields are a consumable product. Covering the optical element of a laser, cover slides collect dust and block debris that would otherwise come into direct contact with the focus lenses. Also, debris shields allow operators to better see and operate the lasers. Over time, these shields will collect a layer of dust and microscopic nicks and scratches. Failure to replace laser debris shields in a timely manner is leading to strongly diminished laser performance and higher heating of the torch. Protective Windows are designed to prevent down-time and to protect your company investment and equipment.

We recommend replacing protective windows frequently, however it really depends on how many hours your machine is working. Some customers replace their protective windows every single day, some others replace them every 80 hours, or every Friday. It actually depends on the amount of runtime, the sort of job executed and your best judgment. It’s like taking a shower… maybe you can go without for a few days, but the consequences are negative. The best maintenance is the preventative one! Do not wait for it to break, and then fixing it. The down-time can be very distressing and expensive.

Protect windows for your fiber laser welding machine are relatively inexpensive and ensure that your expensive lens package remains protected inside the laser head. In practice, we often see that people try to save a few Euro's on protective windows and then have to spend hundreds or thousands of Euro on expensive lens packages, for which they have sometimes to wait VERY long.
