Introduction
For makers, workshops, and small-to-medium enterprises, a stable and efficient laser cutter is not just a piece of equipment; it's a tool for creating infinite possibilities. Today, we take you through the assembly process of the CutAir air-cooled laser cutter to see how it transforms step-by-step from individual parts into a complete machine, ultimately igniting the spark of creativity.
Cut Air Assembly Sequence
1. Building the Foundation: Frame Assembly with Structural Steel
The first step is assembling the frame using structural steel. A sturdy structure ensures the machine remains stable during cutting operations, preventing vibrations from affecting precision. Subsequently, the main frame is assembled, laying a solid foundation for the high-precision motion modules.
Advantage: The CutAir's frame is compact, occupies minimal space, yet provides industrial-grade stability, making it ideal for studios or small production areas.
2. Dressing the Machine: Mounting Sheet Metal and Safety Guards
Once the sheet metal panels are mounted, the CutAir gains not only a professional appearance but also functions for heat insulation, protection, and noise reduction.
Feature: Compared to traditional industrial equipment, the CutAir's housing design is more suitable for use in office or home workshop environments.
3. The Precision Core: Installing Motion Modules, Motors, and Racks
The motion system determines the speed and accuracy of cutting. The CutAir employs a linear module motion system, far superior to traditional belt drives. Paired with high-precision racks and motors, it ensures smooth, fast, and error-free cutting.
Highlight: Even complex artistic patterns or small components can be easily accomplished with the CutAir.
4. Igniting the Soul: Installing the Raycus Air-Cooled Laser
Installing the laser is the core step of the entire assembly. The CutAir is equipped with a Raycus air-cooled laser, which requires no external water chiller. This results in a more compact structure while guaranteeing long-term, continuous stable operation.
Advantage: Eliminates the hassle of bulky cooling systems, making it more suitable for workshops with limited space.
5. Empowering Intelligence: Electrical, Air Circuit, and Control System
After completing the electrical and pneumatic installations, we reach the "brain" of the machine – the control system. CutAir's customized control panel offers an intuitive touchscreen interface and supports USB, Ethernet, and future WiFi connectivity.
Unique Aspect: Users can start cutting immediately without complex debugging (plug-and-play), and can access new features through free system upgrades.
6. The Final Reveal: Installing the Cutting Head, Wiring, and Final Testing
With the cutting head installed, the machine enters the wiring and power-on phase. After comprehensive testing, the CutAir is ready for stable operation.
Experience: Once assembly is complete, a high-performance, compact laser cutter stands before you. The only thing between your idea and the finished product is a design file.
Application Scenarios: From Workshop to Unlimited Creativity
- Small Factories: Quickly cut metal parts (steel, aluminum, copper, etc.) for small-batch production.
- Maker Studios: Process materials like acrylic, wood/MDF, leather, cardboard, and honeycomb board to easily create artworks or custom items.
- Educational Labs: Perfect for teaching demonstrations and student projects, providing a hands-on experience with modern manufacturing technology.
- DIY Creators: From decorative lamps to personalized gifts, CutAir helps you bring more ideas to life.
