My Laser's Performance Has Decreased.

The flash lamp is a wear part. Lamp fatigue is recognized by a loss in laser power. The flash lamp can also break. Then it is time to replace the flash lamp. During commissioning of your laser system, we showed you or your staff how to replace the laser lamp. The instruction manual also has a chapter on regular maintenance and how to change the flash lamp. If you have any questions or are reluctant to make the change yourself, we would be glad to help you.

Does My Alpha Laser Require Maintenance?

ALPHA LASER recommends annual maintenance of your laser system. Some tasks, such as replacing the filter and protective glass, can be carried out by yourself. But a thorough cleaning, verification of the components, and adjusting the laser beam path requires a service technician. We are happy to offer our customers a maintenance contract. In this case, you have total peace of mind. The only thing you need to worry about is scheduling a time with the technician. Please contact our service department if your are interested.
