COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION,
CHILLING
The Laser Head is equipped with a connection for compressed air with a
typical flow rate of 280 litres per minute (10 cubic feet per minute (cfm)) -
actual air flow is duty cycle and ambient dependent. This air cools the laser
and keeps the objective lens free from dust. It requires a 12mm diameter
hose. The lens requires a constant flow at 5psi (0.3 bar). The D120 IP and
D320 IP provide an outlet to supply the lens with air.
An optional air installation kit, for treating factory air that is to be supplied to
the laser head, is available. The air kit includes an air filter, regulator,
coalescing filter, a control solenoid and cable, fittings, and 12 meters of 12mm
tubing.
CAUTION: Only clean compressed air, free of oil, to Class 1.7.2 of
ISO8573 should be used to avoid damage to the lens and
laser tube.
