All Laser Cutters require two additional products which move surroundings: blower which removes atmosphere / extracts smoke from machine and air flow compressor as a source for compressed surroundings for so called surroundings assist.

Laser cuts by temperature, very high temperature focused in tight beam. Side products of high heat are smoke and fire, both aren’t welcomed addition, smoke disperses laser beam reducint it’s efficienty and fire causes charring of material / edges and will even get out of control leading to serious emergency.

Fire needs air flow to burn nonetheless it can also die in the event that you blow too hard, think about a candle in the wind. This is essentialy what surroundings assist can be for: compressed air is extruded straight at the laser head in a very tight stream and is directed at the place where laser touches material.

Pressure of atmosphere is key adjustable for air assist efficienty, in our shop we found out that optimal worth is between 2 and 3.5 bar (31-50psi).

To accomplish required pressure compressor must push certain volume of air through surroundings assist opening, exact volume depends on size of the starting and desired pressure. High quality laser beam cutter heads have little and finely tuned openings while cheaper chinese cutters Laser Cutting Air Compressor simply blow generally direction via huge holes.
