About this range

Fibre and CO₂ laser marking produces metal oxide fume and plastic vapour that is almost entirely sub-micron — invisible, and it does not settle. The F series covers a single bench-top marking station; the DS series covers marking cells and inline stations, adding an activated carbon bed for odour.

Same range, opposite problems — which is why one unit does not stand in for the other.

Two different jobs. Negative pressure captures at the source; airflow clears a volume. Buying on m³/h alone gets the wrong machine.

  • Airflow held steady as the filter loads
  • Air-quality sensors with alarm thresholds
  • I/O and RS-485 — starts with the machine

Both are current models. PIPS earns its place where the unit runs unattended, feeds a line, or has to prove it is working.

What the operator sees. The “i” suffix is the control system, not a newer machine.

Then size it: the machine bed decides the airflow — 30×40 cm needs 300 m³/h, 130×250 cm needs 2400 m³/h.

The material decides the filter. Picking by airflow alone is the mistake that blinds a filter in weeks.

Frequently asked questions

Where does the filtered air go?

Back into the room. The mobile units are recirculating, so there is no duct to the outside and no heated air thrown away in winter. The central industrial units are ducted to the machine enclosure and need a compressed-air line for their self-cleaning cartridges.

What maintenance does it need day to day?

Check the element is seated and sealed before running. When the blockage alarm shows, replace it then — running on past it pushes fume into the fan and the control board, which turns a filter change into a repair.
