I just visited one of our sister locations where they have three Trump lasers and they just acquired an Amada laser so I went to check it out, and they brought over the operator that was on the laser at its previous location, so were talking about our daily maintenance and we both clean our lens and center our tip every morning before we start cutting, but then I was talking to the trump operators and they don't, is it normal not to clean trump lenses every morning? and they run 3 shifts on those badboys! [surprise] Thank yall

We check the lens every day.
Clean it every 50 beam on hour.

Do you realy need to clean it every day?
 
I run an amada but used to run Trumpf and only clean lens if I'm having trouble with cut sometimes I go 2 weeks without cleaning the lens over cleaning your lens can reduce its lifespan. Cleaning can cause microscratches on the surface which can heat up and change focus depth.
 
thanks Jacob.... DrossFree did you practice this with both Amada and Trump? Thanks yall
 
Yes we only clean if the cut starts to go bad anything that touches the lens can damage it so best to leave it alone unless you have to
 
I agree with drossfree , we only clean them after the cut quality changes. We have had operators in the past do more damage cleaning them all the time.
