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.
