Fume Extraction
A Fume Extraction system is recommended for all lasers so as to properly handle the fumes and particulates that
result from cutting any material.
MultiCam
Lasers can be purchased with or without a fume extraction system
and are compatible for use with other manufacturers’ fume extraction systems. The laser can be purchased
independently of the fume extraction system, though the frequency of maintenance is similar for both machines
and should be followed to extend the life of both the laser and fume extraction system.
The type of material being cut by the laser determines the type of fume extraction system most appropriate for the
laser. All operators should
consult the MSDS sheet
prior to installing any fume extraction system as different
materials will produce specific fumes and particulates that would be better handled by certain types of fume
extraction systems. Operators may refer to any
MultiCam
Technician for recommendations on a
MultiCam
Fume Extraction system for their laser.
The fume extraction system must be turned on and off independently of the laser, and no adjustments need to be
made to the system once it is on. Operators should refer to the OSHA guidelines for their state in regards to the
proper setup of the fume extraction system, recognizing that OSHA can order an investigation if they learn of any
disregard for those guidelines.
The
MultiCam
Fume Extraction system includes a ribbed hose for connection, and operators are encouraged to
purchase a hard plumbing hose to extend the efficiency of the fume extraction system. All connectors can be
purchased at a regular hardware store, and operators should refer to the User Manual provided with the fume
extraction system for the proper dimensions of those connecting hoses.
