If you compare the performance of a standard yellow lens to a Black Magic™, the Black will usually last about twice as long and sometimes longer. So the cost savings can be substantial. Generally, you get a better cut on aluminum and stainless and there is less burring or no burring, this too saves money. It is a lens that should be in the job shop as another tool. You don't throw out a hammer because you bought a screwdriver. Both tools have a use. The Black Magic™ should be thought of in a job shop as a tool. However, in the case of the Black Magic™, it is both the hammer and the screwdriver because it works well on mild steel but better on certain materials and in certain climates. Fabrication shops need any edge they can get. Time savings is cost savings.Longer life on a lens is cost savings and better cuts are a cost savings and most importantly less down time for the machine is the biggest cost savings. The Ophir Black Magic™ Lens Benefits The Black Magic™ has the most durable coating in the industry. It is spatter resistant and if it does get dirty, it will clean easier than any other coating. All CO2 lenses are made of zinc selenide (ZnSe). Only two companies manufacture the kind of high quality lenses that are used worldwide by the Laser OEM's and Ophir is one of them. If you have two lenses manufactured from equal high grade ZnSe with exactly the same CNC shaping and superior polishing, the only difference in the performance of the lens is the coating. The coating protects the lens and the better that you care for a coating, the longer the lens will last. Cleaning too harshly can deteriorate the coating.
