Care information
Care information
High care information about CO2 laser lenses, fiber laser protective windows, and
fiber laser lenses is essential to ensure the optimal performance and longevity
of these critical components in laser systems. Here are some key points to consider:
CO2 Laser Lenses:
Cleaning:
Regularly clean CO2 laser lenses to remove dust, debris, and residue. Use a
soft, lint-free cloth or lens cleaning tissue. Avoid using abrasive materials
that may scratch the lens.
Handling:
Always handle CO2 lenses with clean hands or lint-free gloves to avoid transferring oils or contaminants onto the lens surface.
Storage:
Store lenses in a clean, dry, and dust-free environment to prevent damage and
maintain their integrity.
Alignment:
Properly align CO2 lenses within the laser system to ensure efficient laser
beam delivery and focus.
Inspection:
Regularly inspect lenses for signs of damage, scratches, or deterioration.
Replace any damaged or worn lenses promptly.
Fiber
Laser Protective Windows:
Cleaning:
Clean fiber laser protective windows with care to avoid scratches. Use a gentle
cleaning solution and a soft, lint-free cloth.
Protection:
Keep protective windows in place when the laser system is not in use to prevent
contamination and damage.
Replacement:
If protective windows become damaged, replace them immediately to maintain
laser system safety and performance.
Fiber Laser Lenses:
Cleaning:
Clean fiber laser lenses carefully to prevent damage. Use a lens cleaning
solution and a soft, lint-free cloth or lens tissue.
Handling:
Handle fiber laser lenses with care to avoid fingerprints, oils, or scratches
on the lens surface.
Alignment:
Properly align fiber laser lenses to ensure accurate laser beam focusing and
efficient performance.
Inspection:
Regularly inspect fiber laser lenses for signs of wear, damage, or contamination. Replace any compromised lenses promptly.
Environmental Considerations: Be mindful of environmental factors such as temperature and
humidity, as extreme conditions may affect lens performance.
Overall,
maintaining high care and attention to detail when handling, cleaning, and
storing CO2 laser lenses, fiber laser protective windows, and fiber laser
lenses will enhance their longevity and contribute to the smooth and reliable
operation of your laser systems. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines
and best practices for each specific component to ensure optimal results.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
FOR ITEMS IN STOCK:
Orders placed before 2:00 pm EST/EDT on a business day
(Monday - Friday) will ship the same day.
Orders placed after 2:00 pm EST/EDT may not be be shipped
until the next business day.
Our business hours are Monday to Friday, 9 am-4:30 pm.
Orders placed after business hours will not be processed
until the next business day.
Orders placed during the weekend (Saturday - Sunday) or
holiday will be shipped on the next business day.
All packages are shipped FOB ORIGIN – These shipping terms
are characteristic of a “SHIPMENT CONTRACT” and the seller bears the expense
and risk of putting the goods in the possession of the carrier. Title transfers to the buyer at the point when the goods leave the shipper’s loading dock but reverts back to the seller if the buyer follows the correct procedures of notifying the seller of “breach” by “rightfully revoking cceptance.” Even if “breach” has occurred, the buyer remains responsible for filing “carrier loss
claims.”
Product Description
This Zinc Selenide (ZnSe) Beam Combiner is designed for CO₂ laser systems requiring the combination of an infrared laser beam and a visible red alignment beam.
Featuring a 38.1mm (1.50") diameter and 3.05mm (0.120") edge thickness, this precision optical component transmits infrared laser energy at 10.6µm while reflecting visible red alignment light at 633nm (0.633µm).
Designed for operation at a 45° angle of incidence, the beam combiner allows a visible red alignment beam to be directed along the CO₂ laser beam path for positioning and alignment applications.
Manufactured from laser-grade Zinc Selenide (ZnSe), this optic provides average infrared transmission greater than 98.5% and visible red reflectance greater than 90%.
Replaces Kern® Part Number 1706.

Replacement Compatibility
Replaces Kern® Part Number 1706
This beam combiner is offered as a replacement optical component for compatible Kern® laser equipment.
Before ordering, verify the required diameter, edge thickness, coating wavelengths, mounting dimensions, and optical orientation.
The optic is specified for operation at a 45° angle of incidence.
Kern® is a trademark of its respective owner. This product is not represented as an original Kern-manufactured component.
Important Compatibility Information
This beam combiner transmits infrared laser energy at 10.6µm while reflecting visible red alignment light at 633nm.
Correct optical orientation and mounting are important for achieving the intended beam-combining function.
A visible red alignment beam is an aiming aid and does not guarantee the actual infrared beam path or laser safety.
