Air assist nozzle

※ Air assist nozzle is sold separately.
※ The air pump and hose are not included.

● Ensure that the air assist nozzle is aimed toward the central intake port.
● Set the air or gas flow rate and pressure so that they do not exceed the dust collector's suction capacity. Excessive airflow may cause dust to scatter inside the chamber, potentially resulting in equipment malfunction.
● Before operation, use the flow control lever to adjust the airflow to a level suitable for the application.
● When using an air compressor, be sure to install a moisture filter (air filter/water separator) to prevent moisture from entering the system. Moisture-contaminated air may reduce cutting quality and cause equipment malfunction.
● Verify that the nozzle tip does not interfere with the laser beam path or the workpiece.
● Excessive air pressure may cause the workpiece to vibrate or small parts to shift. Use an appropriate air pressure for the application.

Installation Instructions

  1. Turn on the machine and open the cover.

  2. Screw the air assist nozzle onto the fitting at the lower-left front of the machine and tighten it securely.

  1. Turn on the air pump, then rotate the valve on the air assist nozzle clockwise until the valve lever is aligned with the nozzle direction. The valve is now open. Adjust the airflow by varying the valve opening. When the Air Assist is not in use, rotate the valve counterclockwise (to the left) to close it.
