Spare and Replacement Parts

General Guidelines...
Lee Laser maintains at all times a comprehensive stocking of all of the general consumable and replacement parts that are needed to support the operation of all of our currently manufactured lasers products. The most frequently replaced parts for the lamp-pumped Series 600 and Series 800 lasers are listed in the Consumable Parts Kits that have been defined for these lasers. A slightly more inclusive listing may be found in the General Maintenance Kits. All of these parts may be purchased either in the kits or individually..

Parts for Series 700 Lasers

In 1994, Lee Laser ceased the manufacture of the Series 700 CW and Q-switched Nd:YAG Lasers, in favor of the Series 800 lasers that were introduced in 1992. However, Lee Laser still maintains a stocking of all of the consumable parts that are needed for the Series 700 lasers, and many unique parts that may be required to replace damaged or defective original parts. In 2004, Lee Laser decided to no longer stock rarely needed replacement parts for the Series 700 lasers, including most printed circuit boards.

Laser Model Number and Serial Number

Lee Laser maintains an individual file for each of the more than 8000 lasers that we have manufactured since 1984. Each file contains detailed information about the assembly and testing of that laser. The file for each of these lasers may be identified by the following information:

  • Laser Model Number
  • Laser Serial Number
This information for each laser may be found on a label that Lee Laser is required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to place on every laser product that we manufacture. The label shown below may be found on the lower, rear panel of the power supply cabinet of each laser. The model and serial number information also may be found on page 1-1 of the Operation Manual for the laser, and on page 1-4, TEST DATA.

                             

To avoid the shipment of incorrect replacement parts for a laser, Lee Laser requests that customers state the Model Number and Serial Number of their laser at the time that they request replacement part information, or when they place their order for such parts. Although customers may already know the Part Numbers for the parts that they wish to purchase, the model and serial number information will permit Lee Laser to verify these numbers.

As an OEM manufacturer of Nd:YAG laser products, Lee Laser often customizes the design of our lasers for different OEM customers. This means that some parts that are used in a laser for a particular OEM customer may differ from the similar parts that are used in the commercial models of the laser. The parts for the commercial models may not fit into the OEM configurations, or they may result in reduced laser performance, or even damage to the laser. Therefore, it is vital that customers order the correct parts for their lasers.

Service Responsibility for OEM Lasers

Approximately 95 % of Lee Laser sales are to OEM customers that install our lasers into their products. These integrated laser systems are distributed worldwide by their manufacturer. If a performance problem develops within the laser system, it is the manufacturer of the laser system that has the service responsibility for the complete machine, including the laser that is inside.

Service or repair, or the use of parts, by an agent that is not authorized by the laser system manufacturer may result in deficient performance or damage to the system. Therefore, most of Lee Laser s OEM customers state that they alone, or their authorized agent, must be the sole provider of service and replacement parts. Lee Laser honors this request by our OEM customers. Oftentimes, Lee Laser will refer an end-use customer that wishes to purchase replacement parts to the original manufacture of the laser system. By doing this, Lee Laser can ensure that the end-use customer will obtain the proper parts and service for his laser system.

Replacement Parts Listings

Lee Laser has posted on its internet website a listing of Replacement Parts of our most popular commercial lasers. These listings are by no means complete, but contain the Part Numbers and Descriptions of the most parts that will ever require replacement.

As stated above, some specially configured lasers may contain parts that are different from those that are listed in for the commercial laser models. For this reason, we again emphasize the need for the laser Model Number and Serial Number information at the time of a request for parts information or prices.

Replacement Parts Prices

Prices for replacement parts have been omitted from the parts listings. The replacement parts business in the laser industry is very competitive, so for obvious reasons we do not list them on our internet website.

Prices for replacement parts are established by cost of manufacture and industry forces. Lee Laser recognizes that these parts are vital to the continued operation of the laser products that we manufacture, and are vital to the end-use customers that operate them. The prices of many Lee Laser replacement parts have remained unchanged since the company was formed in 1984.

Customers that wish to purchase replacement parts should be prepared to provide the laser Model Number and Serial Number.
