Air - GCC Technologies LaserPro Spirit Series User Manual

Remember to select "Fiber Laser" first for the desired Pen No. before enable Waveform function.
The Waveform value will turn into "1" when the option is enabled.
To achieve a high quality finish, Waveforms are used to maintain control of the engraving process.
When engraving starts, a less aggressive pulse is initially used in order to avoid a perimeter ridge
around the engraved area. Then the Waveforms can be switched to a long high energy pulse with its
higher material removal rate. Throughout this process, a short pulsed Waveforms is regularly used to
clean the engraved area which helps to remove dross and debris. After the engraving process has
finished, the surrounding area is Laser cleaned using a short Waveforms to remove any surface
deposits. Note that there is a trade-off between material removal rate and engraving quality.
Below is the waveform parameter table for different fiber laser models:

Air (Pen Page) [DEFAULT SETTING: Unselected]
This checkbox controls the SmartAIR air-assist function (if you have the optional air compressor
installed). By selecting a pen color and checking this box will enable the SmartAIR air-assist
function for that particular pen color. As an example, if you are performing a combination of both
surface raster engraving job and deep vector cutting on a material such as acrylic, you may want
to enable the SmartAIR air-assist for the vector cutting sections to get the cleanest cuts. To do
this, you would simply need to select the pen color that you have assigned to the sections to be
cut and select the Air checkbox for those particular pen colors.
NOTE
In order to use the Air Delay function under the firmware or the Air assist function in the
driver, make sure that the optional air compressor is connected to the power outlet
located in the lower machine cabinet. There are two power outlets located in the right
hand side of the lower machine cabinet, make sure that the air compressor is connected
to the power outlet towards the left which is closer to the fuse.
