1. Product Overview
The LASER TREE LT-AP-MP56 is a 24V electromagnetic air pump designed to provide a steady and high-pressure airflow for laser engraving and cutting machines. It effectively blows away smoke and residue generated during laser processing, leading to cleaner cuts, reduced burning, and protection for the laser head lens. This air pump features a quiet operation and adjustable airflow to suit various applications.
Key Features:
- High-quality metal nozzle, resistant to high temperatures.
- Large and steady air output (≥26L/min) for efficient smoke and residue removal.
- Super silent operation with minimal noise and vibration.
- Compact design for desktop placement.
- Easy installation and integration with compatible laser machines.
- Adjustable airflow for precise control during cutting and engraving.
2. Packing List
Please check the contents of your package against the following list:
- Air pump x1
- 24V1A Power adapter x1
- 1.5m Air tube x1
- Filter sponge x2
3. Setup Instructions
- Connect Air Tube: Attach one end of the 1.5m air tube to the air tube port on the air pump (labeled as ③ in the diagram). Connect the other end of the air tube to the air assist nozzle on your laser head.
- Connect Power Adapter: Plug the 24V1A power adapter into the power port on the air pump (labeled as ① in the diagram).
- Power On: Plug the power adapter into a suitable electrical outlet.
- Adjust Airflow: Use the adjustable airflow knob (labeled as ② in the diagram) on the power cable to control the air output. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the airflow as required for your laser operation.
4. Operating Instructions
Once the air pump is set up, you can begin using it with your laser engraving or cutting machine:
- Ensure all connections are secure.
- Turn on your laser machine and the air pump.
- Adjust the airflow using the knob on the power cable to achieve optimal results for your material and laser settings. Higher airflow is generally beneficial for cutting to clear debris and prevent charring, while lower airflow might be suitable for delicate engraving.
- Monitor the laser process. The air assist should help in achieving cleaner edges and preventing excessive burning or yellowing of the material.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the long-term performance and efficiency of your air pump, regular maintenance is crucial:
Filter Sponge Maintenance:
During cutting operations, pollutants such as oil, smoke, and dust will inevitably be produced. These pollutants may be sucked into the air pump and accumulate inside it. Excessive accumulation can cause insufficient airflow, dirt, or blockage.
To ensure the working performance of the air pump, please clean or replace the filter sponge regularly.
6. Troubleshooting
Reduced Airflow:
Problem: The air pump's airflow is reduced or insufficient.
Cause: Accumulation of oil, smoke, and dust inside the air pump, particularly in the filter sponge.
Solution: Regularly clean or replace the filter sponge. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for instructions on replacing the filter sponge.

10. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: Why is the airflow reduced?
- A: During cutting operations, pollutants such as oil, smoke, and dust can be sucked into the air pump and accumulate. This accumulation can cause insufficient airflow, dirt, or blockage. Regularly clean or replace the filter sponge to resolve this.
- Q: Does it work on AlgoLaser?
- A: The product is compatible with LASER TREE models (LT-40W-AA/ LT-80W-AA-PRO/ LT-4LDS-V2/ LT-K20/K30/K40/K60). For compatibility with other brands like AlgoLaser, please verify the voltage and air assist connection requirements of your specific laser machine.
- Q: Does it work in 110V?
- A: The air pump itself operates on DC24V. It comes with a 24V1A power adapter, which typically handles standard AC input voltages (e.g., 100-240V AC) and converts it to DC24V for the pump. Please check the specifications on your power adapter for its input voltage range.
