Laser Tube for xTool P2

The CO2 laser tube wears out over time. This is a natural process resulting from the use and operation of the laser itself. Over time, especially with intensive use, the laser power gradually weakens, which can lead to a decrease in cutting and engraving efficiency.

1. Operating time: The more hours the laser tube is used, the faster it wears out.
2. Work intensity: The more intensively the laser is used (e.g. at high cutting and engraving speeds or high powers), the faster the tube loses its power.
3. Gas quality: The gas content in the laser tube can change over time, which can also affect its performance.
4. Cleaning and Maintenance: Regular cleaning and maintenance of the tube and the entire laser system can help extend its life, but wear and tear of the tube itself will be inevitable.

Replacing your CO2 laser tube is necessary when you notice a decrease in laser power, which leads to a loss of cutting or engraving precision. Replacement can be expensive, so it is worth regularly monitoring the tube's condition and ensuring its proper maintenance.
