4.4 Exhaust system requirements
The machine may be operated only with properly installed and operating exhaust
system. Damage to the system caused by the use of no or improper extraction
equipment will not be covered by any liability.
DANGER
Physical damage through toxic aerosols
During laser operation, toxic aerosols can be produced, which can lead to breathing
difficulties, choking, poisoning and subsequently to cancer.
- The laser may be operated only with properly installed and operating exhaust system.
Depending on the type of table installed in the machine, the exhaust requirements and recommended
Trotec exhaust systems for standard applications are:
Standard table
without mounting
frame
All table variants
with mounting
frame
The monitoring point for flow rate and pressure is at the exhaust port at the laser machine. Pressure
loss by hoses / pipes or filter parts of the exhaust system has to be determined and additionally
calculated when selecting a proper exhaust system.
A powerful exhaust system keeps the life time of optics and mechanical components, the cutting
quality and the laser power interacting with the workpiece from being impaired by fumes and dust
accumulating in the machine.
The exhaust power available for the application will be reduced by e.g. bends, small
hose diameters and long hoses. Therefore, avoid bends, keep hoses as short as
possible and use hoses with diameters as large as possible.
Applications generating large amounts of dust or fumes may require a stronger exhaust
system. Use of separate exhaust systems for head and table exhaust may also be
necessary.
- In this case it is absolutely necessary to consult your distributor.
