Air Assist System
The Air Assist System consists of a nozzle that attaches to the focus
carriage, Optics protection adapters, tubing, mounting brackets, needle
valve, and pressure gauge. The purpose of this system is to force air or
other types of gases directly onto the surface of your material to reduce the
burning effects of the laser beam and helps disperse the smoke and gases
created when cutting or engraving materials. The optics protection parts
assist in helping keep the optics cleaner from flying debris created from the
pressurized nozzle. Use of this system requires a minimum compressed air
source capable of 50 PSI @ 2.5 cfm. This supply
MUST be free from oil,
water, and particulate matter. Another option called the “Air Assist
Compressor”, can supply this source. The Air Assist System is truly a
unique option that is a must for serious laser system production.
Please refer to the instructions supplied with the Air Assist System on how
to properly install and use this option.
Air Assist Compressor
The Air Assist Compressor option is a 50 PSI @ 2.5 cfm source for oil-free, water-free, and particulate
matter-free compressed air. It contains a sound insulated air compressor, water dryer (desiccant), and
coalescent particulate filter. This compact and custom designed unit is a great compliment to the Air
Assist System option.
