Flexible Arm & Nozzle Extraction
The stay put arm should be mounted as close as possible to
the marking point it is recommended to use horseshoe clips.
Unscrew the push fit connector from the other side of the
flexible hose. Cut the flexible hose to suit the distance back
to the extractor connection and push onto the extractor
inlet.
Purge air should be kept to a minimum, where possible, to
prevent the fume being blown away from the nozzle.
High speed production lines may need bigger scoops or
nozzles both sides of the bottles because of the turbulence
caused by the speed of the bottles.
Moving products
For applications where the product to be marked is moving
past the stationary laser head the capture nozzle should be
positioned as close as possible to the marking area on the
side the product is moving towards.
Enclosures
The extraction hose and nozzle can be attached to the
enclosure surrounding the marking zone provided that the
extraction point is within 50-75mm of the marking point.
Cabinets
Cabinets normally have a 75mm 0r 100mm spigot for fume
extraction. For best performance use the same diameter
hose as the spigot and reduce at the extractor end if
necessary. Keep the hose run as short as possible.
Connection to extraction unit
All ductwork should be installed and connected to the
extraction unit before the DPX3500 system is turned on.
Exhausting filtered air outside
Your DPX3500 extraction unit has an option to exhaust
through an outlet spigot. This provides a connection point
for exhaust pipework to be fitted. It is important to keep any
ducting to a minimum, in order to reduce back pressure
within the system.
