Laser Cutter Exhaust System

Options that make laser cutting easier and more efficient.

Laser cutter exhaust system.

Without a suitable exhaust system particles will settle between the laser and the engraved object. Our sp series laser cutting machines were designed with a multifunctional table concept that allows you to quickly and easily select and replace the ideal table for every application. Laser cutters produce fumes and particles from the materials they cut. Additional functions for outstanding laser cutting quality include an exhaust system located directly at the work head a sectioned exhaust system at the.

To make sure these fumes are removed from spaces where people occupy an exhaust system is used which works much like a typical clothes dry exhaust. Universal laser systems inc. For nearly 30 years organizations worldwide in all types of environments have discovered and leveraged the benefits of our technology to help them achieve their goals. Modern laser engraving systems are very safe and productive when correctly installed and operated however a key component to the safe operation of a laser system is the exhaust ventilation system.

Our systems exhaust during marking engraving and laser cutting of harmful materials. Never weld in confined spaces without ventilation. Use local exhaust ventilation also called fume extraction for indoor welding. An easy way to measure the system s baseline airflow is to disconnect the duct 1 hose from the laser cutter and measure the airflow from the 4 post fan exhaust duct at a standard place.

The pre filter is positioned between the laser machine and the exhaust system. Exhaust requirements for universal lasers to properly exhaust fumes and smoke from the laser engraving system during operation it is necessary to provide an exhaust unit moving a minimum of 200 cfm cubic feet per minute at 6 inches of static pressure. On my system there is another dryerdock where the 4 exhaust duct from the fume coffin attaches to the window vent. Co2 laser systems create the laser electrically fueled with co2 and widely used for laser cutting and laser marking due to the ability to manipulate a wide variety of substrates such as metal wood plastic acrylic and many more.

The main types of laser systems include co2 fiber and nd nd yag or crystal. Where there is no mechanical ventilation use natural drafts and position the work to avoid exposure. Of course big production shops could have vastly larger and more complicated exhaust systems but the concept is the same. This increases the service life of your exhaust system significantly and reduces costs for replacement filters.

During the engraving and cutting operation of a laser smoke and particulates are generated as the engraving material is being vaporized by the laser. In welding laser and plasma cutting applications there are two common ventilation designs most seen in facilities. A triple filtration system keeps all particles in the filters until the end of the operation thus ensuring comfort of use safety and air purification.
