Upgraded Air Assist for Chinese | OM Tech CO2 Laser
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лис 2020
- This upgrade is intended to give the laser the ability to turn on and off the air as jobs start and stop. Also switching to a compressor rather than the stock pump that came with the machine I am able to push way more air while cutting which has resulting in really clean cuts with increased speed. The regulator provides more adjustability for different applications like engraving. When engraving I like to turn the air down as low as possible and then crank it up when cutting.

I have been sharing the video when I see people ask about the upgrade. I have used this on all 3 of my machines. Thanks!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for this video. Got my air assist hooked up this afternoon and I could not have made it without your help. Thanks, Roger
I just completed this upgrade on my 20-28 100W Red/Black. I was able to mount the solenoid where the factory compressor was and keeps it a little cleaner. Thanks to guys like you, it makes the process that much simplified. Kudos to you!
Thanks Brant - my husband set this up for me today and I just ran the test - I'm ready to play!!
You are my my number 1 go to guy for any of my Omtech 60 watt laser issues, upgrades and/or information. Thank you for this tutorial :)
Just ordered my 80w Omtech and used your code! Thanks so much saved over $200.
Thanks for posting this video. Installing the upgraded air assist today.
You sure are a legend. I purchased an air compressor and most of the parts months ago but never got around to fitting them and seeing that if I got a solenoid I could get it to automatically turn on was pure brilliance as I never saw anyone else do that. I had to try so my solenoid turned up today and I can't believe how much better it cuts. I've just lowered my setting from 40- 32 for cutting 3mm ply and that's before cleaning the mirrors. I will have to get a new compressor as this one is way too noisy but it's given me more joy to play with knowing there's going to be less of a clean up afterwards. You got a sub from me.
Your video saved my bacon and sanity... I just got my OMTech 55W laser. I watched numerous videos and installed the upgraded air assist. It didn’t work! I checked and rechecked my wiring and connections, took voltage readings of the +24V and Wind terminals (no voltage), I was pulling out what little hair I had. I watched your video and, eureka, you solve my problem. NO other videos addressed the “enable air assist” machine setting for the Ruida controller! I made the change and air assist works as it should. Thanks
Already wrote to say great info. well my Green 6 pin conector block just arrived in the mail and wired up, already had the solenioid, wiring and pipework run, my main sticking points where your info was invaluable was the correct wiring (I thought 24v Grd WRONG) and the vendor settings to activated the air assist in Lightburn. Set to 20psi and test cut, worked first time and lovely cut with zero residue. Saved me some head scratching. Thanks again.
Wow man 24hrs after following your video instruction and WOW I have a new Laser, the difference is INCREDIBLE!! Thank you so much!
Thank you for the video. I have bought all my parts and hooking it up today.
Just ordered my OMtech 100W black and red and all the gear on your list! Loving your videos and going to be a lot of tweaking and setup later this month :)
Just getting my machine on Friday. This will be very informative.
Great video man! Thank you for taking the time to put it together!
Great video - exactly what I needed to set up my compressor for my laser properly !
Hats off for sharing your hard work, thank you for parts list and great video.
I have a 2020 OMtech 60W and I cut the power from the air compressor and hooked it up to the solenoid with no issue. Thank you for making this easy.
Thank you so much for sharing these detailed videos. They help me immensely.
Thank you so much! Your videos are awesome!! Lots of diode experience here and I just purchased my Omtech 80w today!
