Lens pressure

Post by Axeman »

Hey Marco,

I was wondering how much PSI can these lenses handle from an air assist? I have a 30PSI air assist right now but I have compressors at work that can push much higher, 50+ PSI. Can these lenses handle that?

I'm looking for small ways to boost the performance and cutting depth/speed.

Sorry that I really don't know. To make things better, may be you should install a 'filter' to remove moist from the air pump
I'll carry some later. Plus, if you can use some oxygen, it help to boost power 30~50% but it need to be very careful to use pure oxygen

Well thanks for that, appreciate the candid. I figured it was a long shot type of question. I use all dry teflon cup style compressors so I don't worry about moisture like conventional oil based types.

I may try boosted oxygen...I work with oxygen concentrators on a regular basis so I could always give it a whirl. :lol:

There will be moisture in the compressed air since compressors draw on the atmosphere for its air supply and there is always some amount of moisture in it.

The type of compressors you're using won't contaminate the air with oil, it doesn't change the amount of moisture moving through the system.

Well yes, I was referring to the heavy condensation that builds up from conventional 'large' compressors that you usually need moisture filters for.

I wasn't sure if RH was an issue lens's though.
