Maintain it while it runs.
Not after it stops.
Most downtime has a cause that could have been seen earlier: dust in the electrical cabinet, a dirty protective window, a chiller with low water level. We carry out preventive maintenance on laser machines of all major brands, including Chinese machines, on site at your company. If you run several machines, one trip can cover all of them.
Is it worth bringing a maintenance technician from Germany?
It is worth it most when the work is planned and covers more than one machine or more than one day. The travel is then shared between the machines, and the cost per machine goes down. Before we book, you get a cost estimate including travel, based on your photos and documents. How travel is charged and an example calculation are on service abroad. Phone: +49 172 510 0715
What we check at the cutting head and axes
Cutting head and optics
Protective window, nozzle and ceramic ring are checked and replaced where needed. We check the optics for dirt and burn marks and check that the nozzle is centred.
Height sensor
We check the capacitive height control, so that the cutting head keeps the right distance to the sheet.
Guides, racks and drives
Linear guides, racks, belts and spindles are cleaned and checked for wear and play. Worn drives show up in the size of your parts.
Bellows and work area
Bellows protect the drives from slag and sparks. We check them for cracks and look at the slag boxes and the cutting table.
Clean guides, accurate parts
Rack and linear guide under the gantry. Clean and lubricated guides and racks are needed for parts that are true to size.
What keeps the laser source healthy
Chiller
Water level, filters, hoses and hose clamps. The chiller protects the laser source and the optics. Too little cooling water puts both at risk.
Electrical cabinet and ventilation
Dust on ventilation grilles, filter mats and fans blocks the cooling air. Parts then run hot and age faster. We clean and check them.
Fibre cable routing
On fibre lasers we check that the fibre cable runs without tension and without points where it can rub through.
Detailed written report
At the end you get a detailed written report: what we checked and measured, what we replaced, and what should be looked at next time. Good for your records and for planning the next visit.
Dust blocks the cooling air
Blocked ventilation grille in front of a power supply and a fan. When no cooling air gets through, the parts overheat and the electronics age faster.
One trip, several machines
All machines in one visit
If you run several laser machines, we maintain them in one visit. The travel is then charged once and shared between the machines.
Faults found on the way
If we find a fault during maintenance, we tell you right away and agree with you what to do, while we are already on site.
Combine with training
Your operators can join the maintenance. On your own machine they learn to replace wear parts and care for the machine. A certificate of attendance is available on request.
Planned dates
Maintenance can be planned. We agree the date with you, so that it fits your production.
Clear rates, a quote before we book
On-site work
EUR 100 per hour, net per technician.
Travel time
EUR 70 per hour, door to door, net per technician. When we travel by car, EUR 0.70 per km.
At cost, without mark-up
Flights, baggage, rental car and hotel are charged at cost. With two technicians, work and travel time are charged per technician.
Cost estimate first
Based on photos and documents you get a cost estimate. The final invoice usually differs from it by only EUR 100 to 200.
FAQ
That depends on the machine, the hours it runs and the material you cut. Send us the machine documentation and tell us how the machine is used. Then we suggest a plan that fits your production.
We work on all major brands, including Trumpf, Bystronic, Amada, Mazak, Prima Power and Chinese machines such as Bodor, HSG, Han's Laser, Golden Laser and Senfeng. We are independent and not an official partner of any manufacturer.
The travel cost is the same whether we maintain one machine or several. With several machines it is shared, so the cost per machine goes down.
We do not sell spare parts. Before the visit we tell you exactly which wear parts we need, for example protective windows, nozzles or ceramic rings. You order them or have them delivered to your site.
A contact person on site, access and a safety briefing, lifting equipment where needed, and process gases and consumables on site.
