Fusion Ascent Optics Assembly with Air Assist

The Air Assist feature on the Fusion Ascent systems is used to keep combustible gases away from the cutting surface and to reduce flare-ups of more flammable materials as you cut through it, such as wood and acrylic.

The Air Assist directs a constant stream of compressed air across the material surface at the point of burn removing the heat and combustible gases from the work surface. The constant air stream helps reduce charring and scorching associated with materials, such as wood, rubber, and acrylic.

The Fusion Ascent systems have cone air assist. This feature directs air through the cone shaped part of the assembly, and permanently remains on while running any job to help keep the lenses clean.

Air Assist should always be activated during vector cutting operations to reduce the risk of fire! For more information, see “Laser Safety”.

The Fusion Ascent systems have been pre-plumbed for Air Assist so that all you need to do is to attach a small compressor pump to the back of the machine. The pump can either be purchased through your Epilog representative or you can connect your existing compressed air supply to the 5/16 inch (8 mm) receptacle at the back of the machine (30 PSI max). See “Air Assist Pump” for more information.
