Hello there i have successfully built and tested a DIY Air Assist Module for my TTS 55 Laser Module
and today i will show you how did i build it :)
Supplies
- 6mm to 4mm Reducer
- 6mm T connector
- 6mm Pipe tube
- 4mm Pipe tube
- 2 Miniature Vacuum Air Pump 3-12VDC
- 12VDC 5 Ampere Power Supply ( 1.5 x 12 = 18 watt per Pump so total needed 36 watt + 24 watt margin )
- Switch
- Neck Connector ( Pneumatic Straight Fitting )
Pneumatic Circuit
- Connect the 6mm tubes into the output of the 2 Vacuum Pumps
- Connect both tubes comming out the 2 pumps with a T connector
- Connect short 6mm tube to the middle output of the T connector
- Connect the short 6mm tube to the 6mm to 4mm reducer
- Connect the 4mm tube into the reducer
- connect the output of the 4mm tube with the 4mm neck screwed into the Laser Nozzle
- Fit them into the plastic box
- Make sure to leave holes so the pump`s input can take the air
Electric Circuit
- Connect the +ve of both pumps into a a barrier strip block
- Connect the -ve of both pumps into a a barrier strip block
