mirrors for co2 laser – maintenance / replacement

CO2 mirrors with vapor deposited gold layer

The mirrors in your CO2 laser together with the lens form the optical part. The quality of the cutting notch and the final power of the laser depend very much on the quality of your optical parts. Therefore, make sure that the mirrors and lens are replaced at least once a year.

You will find many different materials for mirrors on the market. Many of these mirrors are made of cheap material and often not suitable for lasers above 60 Watts in power. Bee lasergraaf we only supply high quality SI (silicon) mirrors for high power CO2 lasers. These mirrors have a very high degree of reflection and are ground very smooth for a tight uniform parallel laser line. This gives your laser machine more power at the material and you can cut and engrave more finely.

tip : Order the correct quantity and size – a typical CO2 laser machine has 3 mirrors and 1 lens. Larger machines can have 5 mirrors. Larger machines often have mirrors with a diameter of 25 mm.
