Intelligent low-cost system for fume control during laser material processing

Objective

Problems to filter gaseous harmful substances efficiently and to monitor the clean air quality when processing organic materials using lasers have not been solved sufficiently. When processing organic materials with lasers a very complex mixture of particulate and gaseous laser generated air contaminants (LGACs) is emitted. Today, for economic reasons, most of the laser units in Europe are equipped with commercial activated carbon filters to adsorb the gaseous LGACs. However, the operation reliability of an activated carbon system is limited with respect to the complex mixtures of gaseous LGACs, so that the quality of the clean air is unknown and inadmissible contamination of the clean air cannot be avoided safely. Up to now, no low-cost sensor system for LGACs is available on the market, affordable for SMEs. The low-cost system to be developed shall be used to both monitor the quality of the clean air, and to be integrated into a closed loop for the ventilation and filter system to optimise their operation efficiency with respect to the LGACs.
