PAA – Priority Assurance Agreement
To provide quick support to customers who run 24 hour continuous production with multiple CLC lasers, CLC has designed the 24-48 hour priority assurance service plan. We aim to reduce production down time as much as possible to keep your business running at full speed.
- Guaranteed 24-48 hour service progam to avoid delays due to complex purchasing procedures
- All parts are assembly tested, packaged, and ready to ship within 24-48 hours of diagnosis.

Extended Warranty
The standard warranty period for CLC equipment is “2 years of warranted working hours, whichever comes first”. If running 8 working hours a day, the laser source and other key components will perform well for two years or more. Beyond the standard warranty period, we offer the extended warranty plan.
The benefit of purchasing this plan is to shorten your production down time by skipping the on-call service deal negotiation and payment arrangement procedure, which enables better and more even arrangement of your businesses cash flow
We set and adjust a fair price based on the complexity and customization level of the equipment and service statistic records. Coverage includes every type of laser source, motion control module, and other necessary components.
