7.4 SmartAIR Fine / Ultra 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.
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 either the SmartAIR Fine or Ultra Nozzle, 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 X380 print driver and
hardware control panel. Please refer to the LaserPro X380 print driver and graphic control panel
sections of this manual for details on how to enable and configure air-assist functionalities.
7.4 SmartGUARD Fire Alarm Option
Laser cutting and engraving operations using the SmartGUARD system protects the operator, machine, and
the work products from potential fire hazards. During the engraving process, flaming may occur when working
with combustible or easily-flammable materials, such as paper or wood. The SmartGUARD Fire Alarm is a pre-
installed optional item that can be set to notify the operator through audio warnings and automatically
shutdown the current operation.
INSTALLATION:
If you have purchased your system with the SmartGUARD option, then no installation is required, as your
system will arrive with the SmartGUARD pre-installed.
For system owners that did not initially purchase this option, but would now like to add the SmartGUARD, then
you will need to contact the local authorized GCC distributor to have this great feature installed. The
installation process of the SmartGUARD fire alarm is complicated and not recommended to be performed by
the end user.
OPERATION:
SmartGUARD: Enable or Disable the SmartGUARD
