ULS Compressed Air Source
The ULS Compressed Air Source provides a 50 PSI max pressure and 2.0 cfm free airflow (3.2 bar and 3.2 cubic
meters/hour) source of clean, dry, oil-free compressed air for gas-assisted laser material processing. It can be
used in conjunction with either the Coaxial Gas Assist Attachment or Lateral Gas Assist Attachment accessory. It
also supplies compressed air for optics protection. It contains a sound-insulated air compressor, water dryer and
particulate filter.
Installation
1. Make sure the laser system is turned off.
2. Plug one end of a blue coiled hose into the compressor outlet fitting and the other end into the laser
system air inlet.
3. Plug the one end of the control cable into the control connector on the compressor and plug the
other end into the compressor control connector on the back of the machine.
4. Plug the compressor into a wall outlet. Please check the rating on your air compressor for power
requirements.
5. The compressor is automatically controlled by the laser system. If you have selected the Air or Gas
setting in the printer driver, the Compressed Air Source will automatically turn ON when a laser job
is running and OFF when the job is complete. (There is also a manual ON/OFF switch on the back of
the unit to verify operation).
Controls
The ULS Compressed Air Source functions automatically when connected the laser system and no operator
intervention is necessary. Controls and indicators on the unit are for diagnostics and provide the following
information:
Link light – blinks to indicate good communications link with the laser system.
ON and OFF lights – indicate the state of the compressor. If the ON light is illuminated the compressor
should be running and supplying compressed air. If the OFF light is illuminated the compressor should
be off and no compressed air is being supplied.
Manual ON/OFF switch – turns compressor on or off manually to verify operation.
