Is this possible? It would be nice to have it so that the air assist is only active while lasering as opposed to having it running all the time....

I but a switch box on the side of my machine with an exhaust fan switch, and one for the air assist. Easy enough to turn on and off now,

The controller does have an output to control air. You'd probably need a relay to switch any current. Lasercut has provision for air on/off but whether it actually all works I don't know.

Hi ,

Air assist could be on either lasering or runing without laser . Take XYZ lasers for example . Normally there is an air switch in front of machine for air on ; there is a adjusting screw beside laser head for control the air output .Keep it on or off as need . Air control by software also can be realized by an valve installation and wire connection . One custmer with 6535 controller had done with this operation .

Best regards,

I have my laser on a half switched outlet. I can switch on the water, air and exhaust pump with one switch on the wall next to the laser.

With the water pump, it is best to have it on 30 seconds before starting to run the laser.
