7.8 SmartAIR Fine Nozzles Option
The SmartAIR™ Fine and Ultra Nozzles minimize flaming, suppress working temperatures, and blow
away dust and particle byproducts generated from the laser process.
The SmartAIR Fine Nozzle is recommended for engraving or cutting thin material such as textile. The
smaller caliber nozzle is positioned closer to the object for a concentrated blast directed over a small
area to eliminate burning on the cutting edge. The vertical design of the SmartAIR Fine Nozzle
produces a concentrated airflow to blow away dust and unwanted residue, leaving a clean product
surface.
The SmartAIR Ultra Nozzle is recommended for cutting thick material such as acrylic. The larger
caliber nozzle produces strong airflow over a wider area to prevent flaming when the laser is cutting at
slower speeds.
NOTE
- The S400 comes standard with the SmartAIR Standard Nozzle, but for specialized
jobs on specific material, we highly recommend the use of the SmartAIR Fine
Nozzles.
INSTALLATION:
1) Unscrew the thumbscrews securing the front plate of the laser head, and remove the
faceplate.
2) Remove the currently installed nozzle by simply sliding it outwards (towards you).
3) With the SmartAIR Fine, simply slide into the slot (where you removed the original nozzle),
with the pointed end face down.
4) Position the faceplate back onto the laser head and screw the thumbscrews back into place.
OPERATION:
1) With the air compressor unit and applicable SmartAIR Nozzle properly installed. Switch on the
air compressor unit and make sure that the airflow regulator on the air assist valve is opened
(turn clockwise to increase the airflow, counter-clockwise to decrease the airflow). The air
nozzle under the laser head should emit a steady flow of air.
2) With the SmartAIR nozzle and air compressor properly installed and operating, all
configurations and settings relating to air-assist functions are controlled through the LaserPro
S400 print driver and hardware control panel. Please refer to the LaserPro S400 print driver
and graphic Touch Screen sections of this manual for detail on how to enable and configure
air-assist functionalities.
