Longer B1 30W & 40W has a laser module capable of engraving and cutting multiple types of materials. However, depending on the type of work that is carried out, it is possible that a fair amount of smoke is produced, which can inevitably settle on the lens of the laser module and therefore blur it. Once the lens of the laser module is dirty or clouded, the laser beam can no longer pass through it and therefore the emission of the laser module is drastically reduced. As a consequence, more and more power will be needed to engrave the same materials already engraved previously, until it will be practically impossible to engrave any type of material even setting 100% power. This problem occurs most when an air assist system is installed but not enabled; In fact, an Air Assist system allows you to create air pressure in the vicinity of the lens, thus preventing smoke and dust from settling easily on the lens.
In order to solve this problem, it is necessary to proceed to cleaning the lens of the laser module; Once the lens is cleaned, the laser beam can pass through it without suffering losses and therefore the materials will be engraved or cut again to perfection.
To proceed with the cleaning of the lens of the laser module of Longer B1 30W & 40W it is necessary first to completely disassemble the laser module. After separating the laser module from the rest of the machine, remove the four screws shown in the figure:
Once the four screws have been removed, the protective shield will be removed from the laser module, which will appear as shown in the figure. At this point, to remove the air assist nozzle, unscrew the small screw located on the side of the nozzle.
The laser module of the Longer B1 30W & 40W has a factory-installed protective lens, which can be unscrewed and cleaned separately from the laser module. This lens is a simple protective glass, and has no focusing function, for this reason it can be removed and cleaned/replaced. After removing the protective lens, you can proceed to clean the lens with the use of a cotton swab soaked in alcohol. Be careful to prevent alcohol from entering the inside of the lens.
Use one or more cotton swabs soaked in alcohol, until the lens is completely clean and free of dirt; at this point, therefore, you can proceed to screw it to the laser module and reassemble the laser module of Longer B1 30W & 40W. At the end of the cleaning procedure, you can proceed to engrave a sample file contained in the microSD card of Longer B1 30W & 40W, so you can evaluate the total restoration of the functionality of the laser module. If the lens is too much dirty and cannot be cleaned, you can contact us for buying a replacement spare part. In order to keep the lens always clean, remember to keep enabled the air assist, this will help the engraving quality.

Longer B1 is a Laser Engraver characterized by an output of 20w or 30w or 40w, depending on the user's preference, and a large working area of 450 x 440 mm. In this way, each customer can meet their own needs, both in terms of power and size.
However, in order for the entire work area to be fully usable, the surface on which Longer B1 has been placed must be totally flat and level. This, in fact, is very important as the laser module must always be at the same distance from the work surface, so as to always maintain the right focus distance. If the plane is irregular, there may be some points where the focus distance is correct, some points where the distance is too short, and some points where the distance is too great; Obviously, in places where the distance is too large or too small, it happens that the focus is lacking, and therefore the laser engraving inevitably loses quality at these points.

To effectively solve the problem, you can try to grind the work surface, especially when the worktop has only small irregularities, in the order of a few millimeters. To rectify the worktop, you can proceed in this way: using wooden boards (taking care to choose them perfectly flat and without curves) you proceed to create a first layer to be screwed onto the worktop. Then, again using other wooden boards, a new layer is created, to be screwed onto the previous layer in the opposite direction.

In this way, each layer tends to reduce the curvature error of the workplane, and the more layers are added, the greater the grinding of the workplane. Usually, for small irregularities, two rectified layers are sufficient to make the irregularities of the worktop negligible. At the end of the procedure, the surface will allow the laser module to always have the same distance at every point of its engraving area, and therefore the entire area of 450 x 440 mm can be used correctly without losing quality due to poor focusing.

Finally, to protect the newly created worktop from accidental damage caused by the laser beam, as well as improve the engraving and cutting quality, you can get the Longer Honeycomb Working Table. Its structure is similar to that of a honeycomb, and it is made of aluminum and steel. Thanks to the presence of regular holes, this surface allows the laser to pass through the machining and thus cut the material more easily, while also leaving gaps for gases and particles produced during the cutting process to escape. In addition, the honeycomb minimizes contact between the material to be cut and the worktop, reducing the risk of damage to the worktop itself; In addition, the honeycomb structure provides solid support to the material being processed, preventing the surface of the material from bending or deforming during laser cutting. Longer Honeycomb Working Table, available in various sizes, is certainly an essential accessory to complete the Longer B1 worktop in the best possible way.
