Updated on Feb 27, 2025

Overview

In this guide, you will learn about the different air assist options available on your AEON laser engraving machine, how they affect engraving and cutting performance, and how to control them effectively. We will cover the functions of the built-in air assist system, the differences between low and high air settings, and how external compressors can enhance your results. By the end, you'll have a clear understanding of how to optimize air flow for various materials and applications.

Adjusting air assist settings is important when switching between engraving and cutting, as well as when working with different materials. Using the correct air pressure can improve engraving detail, reduce charring, and enhance cutting efficiency. You should also check and configure your air settings when troubleshooting inconsistent cuts, excessive smoke buildup, or unwanted material discoloration. If you are upgrading to an external compressor, proper setup and calibration will ensure optimal performance.
