beam tube mirrors cleaning

(OP)
How many hours do you run the machine befor cleaning and later replacing your mirrors inside your beam tube? got a finnpower lc6 where the sheetmetal is moved around so i only got like 2 mirrors inside the tube but i dont think they ever been changed and the machine has been runing for 5000h.

RE: beam tube mirrors cleaning

On the Bystronics 5000h is nothing. Keep an eye on the output window, lens and the end mirror if the end isn't copper. The mirrors rarely give problems, the transmissive optics like the lens, output coupler and leaky end mirror if you have one are the ones that fail first and make a huge mess.
