BOFA - Fume extraction systems for laser applications
Reliably extract and filter laser smoke, laser particles and fumes
Why is a special laser smoke extraction system so important?
When lasers are used in industrial production, harmful vapours and particles are produced, which are referred to as laser fumes or emissions. These invisible dangers are often underestimated, but can cause lasting damage to both man and machine. Depending on the material being processed, laser fumes contain ultra-fine particles, possibly toxic gases and potentially carcinogenic substances. Without effective extraction, these enter the airways of employees and can lead to acute discomfort or long-term damage to health. A professional extraction system reliably filters these pollutants out of the air and thus ensures a safe working environment.
The fine particles are not only deposited in the environment, but also in sensitive machine parts. Without adequate extraction, this can lead to malfunctions, loss of quality and expensive repairs. Targeted extraction extends the service life of the machine and maintains process reliability. Strict health and safety and environmental regulations require the use of suitable extraction systems. With an extraction system specially developed for laser applications, companies not only fulfil these requirements, but also demonstrate responsibility towards employees and the environment.
The result: more safety, better quality, longer service life. An extraction system specially designed for laser applications is not a luxury, but an essential component of safe and economical laser operation. It protects people, machines and the environment - and pays off in every respect in the long term.
Overview of laser smoke extraction systems:
AD Access (PE1)
BOFA's AD Access extraction and filtration system effectively removes harmful vapours and particles generated during the laser marking process. A three-stage filter ensures a dust-free work area is maintained and the system helps to protect valuable equipment, maintain higher quality marking and reduce the number of rejects and contaminants.
Standard features:
Digital flow control system
High airflow and high pressure blower
Durable low-cost replacement filters
Low noise level
DeepPleat pre-filter
Small dimensions
AD 350R (PE2)
The Advantage 350R extraction and filtration system is a model specially developed for Penteq system integration and effectively removes harmful vapours and particles generated during the laser marking process. By maintaining a dust-free work area, the system helps to protect valuable equipment, increase production quality and reduce waste and contamination.
Standard features:
Digital flow control system
High airflow and high pressure blower
Low-cost replacement filter
Low noise level
Filter status indicator
AD 350 (PE4)
BOFA's Advantage 350 extraction and filtration system effectively removes harmful vapours and particles generated during the laser marking process. By maintaining a dust-free work area, the system helps to protect valuable equipment, maintain higher quality marking and reduce the number of rejects and contaminants.
Standard features:
Digital flow control system
High airflow and high pressure blower
Low-cost replacement filter
Low noise level
Filter status indicator
AD Nano Plus (PE3)
The AD Nano+ (PE3) is a medium sized laser fume extraction system for light to medium duty laser applications. This cost-effective solution offers features that are normally only available in larger models and is therefore ideal for installations where space is limited. It is characterised by low noise levels in a small footprint and features durable, cost-effective filter cartridges.
AD Oracle iQ (PE6)
Ideal for: Selective laser melting, selective laser sintering, laser engraving, laser cutting, laser welding, laser coding and marking. The AD Oracle iQ model combines a wide range of functions, including the intelligent operating system (iQ), in a unique system. This is suitable for a wide range of laser applications. High contrast display, real-time airflow measurement and independent filter condition monitoring combined with a high airflow blower and remote diagnostics via USB.
Our advice for the right solution for every application
When it comes to the right laser fume extraction system, factors such as the materials (plastic, metal, wood or composite materials) that can release different pollutants must be taken into account. From occasional use to series production, the volume and concentration of the resulting emissions vary considerably. The spatial conditions within the laser safety cabin also influence the choice of system. Our experts will support you in the professional design of your extraction system. Together, we will analyse your application and recommend a tailor-made system that meets all requirements, offers maximum efficiency and can be flexibly integrated into your processes.
Benefit from our experience - for maximum safety, efficiency and sustainability.
