Connect rigid and smooth walled tubing such as PVC or sheet metal with a 8" diameter to the
3)
ventilation opening located on the rear side of the T500. 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.
4) There is an independent 1" diameter exhaust pipe connected to the lens carriage to ventilate the
dust produced on media surface during laser engraving jobs. You can connect this 1" exhaust
pipe to individual air ventilation system, or connect the 1" pipe to 8" exhaust port to share a air
ventilation system.
Connect the 1" exhaust
pipe to individual air
ventilation system or joint
to the 8" port connection
with shared fume
extraction system.
NOTE
There are two exhaust ports on the left side of GCC LaserPro T500 machines. The 1"
exhaust pipe for top ductwork is suitable for dust, smoke generated on material
surface when doing laser engraving, which will reduce residue left on material surface;
while the 8" exhaust port for bottom ductwork is recommended for laser cutting jobs.
Optimum down vacuum is critical for clear cutting edge when laser cutting materials
