Air preparation
Air pressure
Adjusting the air pressure will have the following consequences:
Decreasing the air pressure will result in a slower but more accurate tool.
Increasing the air pressure will result in a faster but less accurate tool.
If the pressure from the airline is below 4.5 bar we recommend a tool from the EP PTX-L series, designed for low pressure installations.
Pressure regulators
We recommend using one pressure regulator for each tool. Make sure
to adjust the regulator to the lowest expected pressure on the line.
A pressure regulator will give the following advantages:
A stable air pressure which results in better accuracy.
Provides an easy way to adjust the power of the tool.
Air filters and air lubricators
We recommend using air filters and air lubricators, which will give
the following advantages:
Clean air without water and particles resulting in reduced tool wear and reduced risk of tool failure.
Will help to maintain the power and speed of the air motor over time.
