Air filtration systems designed for laser materials processing

Universal Laser Systems has introduced the UAC 2000 and UAC 4000 air filtration units to integrate with the company’s current laser systems. Features include a four-stage filtration process and a multisensor design to monitor filter performance continuously at all stages.

Variable-speed exhaust blowers maintain a constant airflow as particulates are captured first in a prefilter, then in a HEPA filter. The third and fourth filtration stages capture fumes in a patented dual-carbon filter designed to enable consumption of all carbon while removing fumes.

An integrated monitor alerts the user to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in the ambient air and stops the laser system from processing until CO levels return to safe limits.
