EMP Air Compressors for Laser Engraving & Cutting

The right air compressor depends on your laser, the required airflow and pressure, and how intensively the machine will be used. Smaller laser applications may only require a compact compressor, while fiber laser cutting typically requires a higher-capacity system capable of maintaining consistent pressure and airflow.

The required PSI and CFM will depend on your laser system, material, cutting application and production requirements. Both pressure and airflow need to be considered when choosing a compressor, as sufficient PSI without enough continuous airflow may not meet the demands of the laser.

It depends on the laser and application. Laser cutting requires a reliable supply of clean, dry compressed air at the correct pressure and airflow, so a general-purpose workshop compressor may not be suitable for more demanding fiber laser cutting applications.

Yes. Compressed air can be used as an assist gas for suitable fiber laser cutting applications and can help reduce reliance on nitrogen. The best option will depend on the material, thickness and required cut quality.

EMP offers compressor options for different laser applications and production requirements. The 8065 is the quietest model in the range and is available to buy online, making it a convenient ready-to-order option. For higher-demand applications, the LS15, LS30 and LS50 offer progressively greater power and airflow and are available by quotation so EMP can help specify the right system for your setup.
