Question about Sizing an Air Compressor for Air Assist ...

Fri Jul 16, 1:50 pm

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit Laser Air Compressor.

I've been looking through the posts about the ultimate air assist and recent posts about it improving the cutting ability/finish by reducing charring.

I have a compressor in my workshop, capacity I can remember at the minute, it's only really used as a "blow down" for the CNC, but i'm thinking of hooking it up for the laser. (Yes I have been using the chinese pump that came with the laser)

I have a filter/regulator/lubtricator unit that I plan to hookup inline to clean the air and provide lube for my air tools

I'm guessing i'll have to Tee off a feed to the laser, will it matter if it is after the filter/lube, will the lube cause any issues at the laser, i've never seen any mention of it in any posts.

I'll also need to suss the actual components I will need if I don't need to "control" the compressor just the outlet at the nozzle.

Is there a means of still providing a continuous minimal air flow through the nozzle to keep the lens clean while engraving.

Appreciate the help.
