4-6 Mirrors and Lens Cleaning – FLUX Help Center

Recommended Frequency

Once every 1-2 weeks, depending on the frequency of usage and material

Maintenance Steps

If the engraving material is paper or wood, it is more likely to cause dust and tar oil to stick on the reflective mirrors. You can use cotton swabs with a small amount of alcohol to clean and wipe until the mirror surface is free of stains.

Preparation Items

There are 3 reflective mirrors, 1 focus lens, and 1 laser tube output lens that need to be cleaned in HEXA, and their positions are shown in the picture.

⚠️ After cleaning, the mirrors and lens should not be left with water marks to avoid oxidation, which may affect the laser power. Also, they should not be wiped excessively.

Maintenance Steps

1. Clean the laser tube output lens

The laser tube output lens is located on the low-pressure side of the laser tube (close to the 1st mirror). You can open the back cover and wipe it as shown below.

2. Clean the first reflective mirror

The first reflective mirror is located on the low-pressure side of the laser tube facing the chassis. You can open the back cover or wipe it from the front hole as shown below.
