Air Assist
For tough jobs with deep
cutting, the air assist
allows you to speed
production time, while
enhancing the quality of
your final output. The
Legend Air Assist directs
a constant stream of
compressed air across the
material surface at the
point of burn.
Directing the compressed
air both down and back towards the exhaust vent, the air assist removes the heat and
combustible gases from the work surface. The constant air stream helps reduce
charring and scorching
associated with materials,
such as wood, rubber, and
acrylic. Computer
controlled, you can assign
the air assist to be turned
on/off while raster
engraving or vector
cutting.
