3 Exhaust Requirements
Trotec advises to use the Atmos Duo Plus for the Speedy 500.
If only a Cutting table is installed, a VENT 3000 would be sufficient
.
The laser may only be operated with properly installed and operating exhaust system.
Damage to the system caused by the use of no or improper extraction equipment will
not be covered by warranty.
Fumes and dust created during cutting or engraving have to be exhausted properly.
Some materials when cut or engraved can produce fumes that are hazardous in
concentrated amounts.
The life time of optics and mechanical components will be reduced by fumes and dust
accumulating in the machine. This will be avoided by a capable exhaust system.
The cutting quality will be reduced by fumes and dust accumulating in the machine.
This will be avoided by a capable exhaust system.
The laser power interacting with the work-piece will be reduced by fumes and dust
accumulating in the machine. This will be avoided by a capable exhaust system.
Depending on the type of table installed in the machine the exhaust requirements and
recommended Trotec exhaust systems for standard applications are:

Monitoring point for flow-rate and pressure is at the exhaust port at the laser machine. Pressure
loss by hoses / pipes or filter parts of the exhaust has to be determined and additionally calculated
when selecting a proper exhaust.
The exhaust power which is available for the application will be reduced by e.g.
bending, small hose diameters and long hoses.
Therefore, avoid bending, keep hoses as short as possible and use hoses with
diameters as large as possible.
Applications generating large amounts of dust or fumes may require a stronger
exhaust system.
Also the use of separate exhaust systems for head and table exhaust may be
necessary.
It is absolutely necessary to consult your distributor in such cases.
