Chapter VII - Optional Items
When purchasing the LaserPro Spirit GE from your local authorized GCC distributor, you will be provided
a chance to purchase optional items to enhance your experience with your system. If anytime after the
purchase of your Spirit GE, would you like to purchase any optional item, please contact your local
authorized GCC distributor.
7.1 Air Extraction System Option
To properly remove dust, vaporized materials and chemical smoke from the working area and
machine, it is necessary to install a suitable air extraction system. The air extraction system and other
components are readily available from your local authorized GCC distributor or you can elect to
purchase and install one yourself with components found at your local industrial supply store.
LaserPro's Air Extraction Systems are specifically designed to prevent personnel from inhaling
hazardous fumes and dust generated by the laser process. Available for all LaserPro engravers, the
LaserPro Air Extraction System represents the latest in fume extraction and odor reduction technology
for all types of applications. Quiet operation, high vacuum capacity, compact design and long life
expectancy are but a few outstanding features. Each LaserPro Air Extraction System is powered by a
maintenance-free, continuous-running turbine. In order to ensure personnel safety and legal
compliance, the LaserPro Air Extraction System is CE-compliant for Europe and ETL-certified for the
United States and Canada. To purchase a LaserPro Air Extraction System, contact your local
authorized GCC distributor
INSTALLATION (Self-Assembled Unit):
1) Purchase an exhaust system at your local industrial supply store, we recommend you have a
contractor install the exhaust system. We highly recommend you install the exhaust system
outside of the building for both noise considerations and if it does not possess filtering
capabilities.
2) Mount the exhaust system in an obvious and accessible location, not too far from the Spirit, so
it can be routinely switched on prior to laser engraving. The maximal distance you should
mount the exhaust system away from the Spirit GE depends on the blower’s vacuum capacity.
We recommend you consult with the vendor regarding the unit’s vacuum force, maximal
distances, based on the available models.
3) Connect rigid and smooth walled tubing such as PVC or sheet metal with a 4” diameter to the
ventilation opening located on the rear side of the Spirit. (As shown in the picture below). Try
to keep this tubing as straight as possible as bends reduce the exhaust efficiency. Use the
appropriate sized tube clamps and sealants to ensure a tight and secure attachment.
