Services
Is it possible to receive a free demo before making a purchase?
Yes.
We propose the equipment based on the customer’s application.
Assisting the customer in achieving the desired processing capability is the crucial first step to ensuring satisfaction.
What is the warranty policy for equipment and parts?
The standard warranty for equipment is 2 years for fiber and CO2 lasers, and 1 year for other lasers. It includes parts and labor free of charge, with travel expenses reimbursed based on actual spending.
Services for parts, accessories, and ancillary devices are covered for 90 days.
These warranties apply as long as the equipment or parts have not been modified without authorization.

What service plans are currently available?
After sales, we provide two types of field service plans:
Preventive Maintenance plans: Annual and Biannual
Priority Assurance Plans:
- Silver plan (laser source only)
- Gold plan (laser source, labor, & travel)
- Platinum plan (laser source, workstation, labor, & travel)
Tech evaluator Guide
What is the crucial factor in choosing a laser manufacturer?
Firstly, when evaluating laser manufacturers, focus on their controller and software capabilities.
A qualified manufacturer will have their own controller and an in-house team of electrical and software engineers.
Conversely, an unqualified manufacturer may rely on third-party controllers and software, which can lead to service and troubleshooting issues.
What are the key modules of laser equipment?
The key modules & sub-systems include:
- The laser source and beam delivery controller
- Work piece positioning sub-systems
- The three options are fixtures, machine vision components, and robot components.
- The fume extractor, along with other supporting ancillary devices.
How can I ensure that I purchase the appropriate laser for my application?
To ensure you acquire the correct laser with the desired processing capabilities, it’s best to request a FREE workpiece sample test first.
This test will establish the equipment acceptance criteria based on the results.
If your application doesn’t require high precision and you have laser processing experience, you can purchase directly based on the demo. In this case, CLC’s outgoing QC standards will serve as the acceptance criteria.
Typically, the laser reaction spot is smaller than 30 microns, or the repetition is less than 10 microns.
