OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF AIRTACT!
This is the most versatile control system ever developed with an
expandable range of actuation. The heart of the Airtact system is
the air control unit where the throttle command is processed. This
simple and robust system requires dry, clean, oil-free air, and
a GraverMate, GraverMax, GraverMax SC, or GraverMach as
engraving system. Hook up is easy; just follow these step-by-step
instructions and the instructions provided with the connection kit if
required for your machine.

GETTING STARTED
Decide on a location for the control box. This needs to be a
place where you can easily access the front of the unit for hose
connections and air adjustments. If you are connecting your
Airtact to a GraverMax or GraverMate, an additional kit will be
required.

NOTE: The black hose (#044-136) is for connecting the HIGH
pressure air coming from your compressor. The clear hose
(#044-135) is for connecting LOWER pressure air from the
“THROTTLE CONNECTION” port to the Airtact
.
Turn off the air supply to your engraving system and bleed off
any remaining air in the line. Depending on the engraving system
that will be used, install the hoses as shown in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2.
