Air Assist is on by default. If turned off, the air Assist will stop working, which can cause the edges of the cut to turn yellow, and the lens at the bottom of the laser module can be contaminated by smoke and dust.
Air Assist plays a crucial role in WeCreat Vision, particularly in laser cutting. Its main functions include:
- Blowing Away Debris and Dust
During laser cutting, smoke and debris are generated. Air Assist helps clear these materials from the cutting area, keeping the cutting line clear and reducing contamination of the laser head.
- Cooling Effect
Laser cutting generates high temperatures. Air Assist helps cool the cutting surface and the laser head, reducing the risk of material charring or laser head damage due to overheating.
- Reducing Flame Generation
When cutting flammable materials like wood and plastic, Air Assist can help reduce flames produced by the laser's heat.
- Improving Cutting Quality and Efficiency
By removing debris and dust, Air Assist helps maintain the laser's optimal focus, thus enhancing cutting quality and speed.
In summary, Air Assist improves the performance and cutting quality of the machine by blowing away smoke and debris, cooling the cutting area, reducing flames, and minimizing thermal effects.
