What Is The Service Life Of The Z300 High-Precision Laser Profiling System?

Modified on Sun, 11 May, 2025 at 10:18 PM

The service life of the Z300 depends on the lifetime of the laser. Therefore it depends on the type of the laser that is being used.

Z300-S5/-S10
Z300-S2
Z300-S60

The following table lists the estimated service life of the above lasers.
Service life of the Z300 (laser)

	Ambient operating temperature	Service life (hours)	Service life (years)
	Ambient operating temperature	Service life (hours)	Operation for 8 hours/day, 6 days/week
Z300-S5/-S10	30°C	Approx. 140,000 hours	58 years
	40°C	Approx. 70,000 hours	29 years
	50°C	Approx. 37,000 hours	15 years
Z300-S2	30°C	Approx. 170,000 hours	68 years
	40°C	Approx. 94,000 hours	48 years
	50°C	Approx. 57,000 hours	23 years
Z300-S60	30°C	Approx. 140,000 hours	58 years
	40°C	Approx. 85,000 hours	34 years
	50°C	Approx. 47,000 hours	19 years

*Definition of service life: The time taken for the failure rate to reach 60%
Failure rate: The proportion of samples in which the laser operating current increases by 20%

Note: so if 10 Sensors were used, and 6 of them fail, the failure rate is said to have reached 60%.
The above data is for reference only. They are not guaranteed values. They will vary depending on the environment in which the Sensor is used.
