W-Series Fume Extractor
Pinpoint Extraction for Welding & Cleaning.
- Precision Control: Features an articulated extraction arm for targeted capture right at the weld or cleaning point, crucial for managing intense, localized fume plumes.
- Optimized for Welding & Cleaning: Handles the high-volume smoke and spatter from laser welding and the explosive debris clouds from laser surface cleaning.
- Protects Weld Integrity & Clarity: Removes fumes directly from the weld pool area to prevent gas interference and porosity, ensuring strong, clean weld seams.
- Enhances Operator Visibility & Safety: Keeps the immediate work area clear of obscuring smoke, allowing for precise work while extracting harmful byproducts at the source.

Components
High-Vacuum Industrial Blower
Provides extremely strong, localized suction at the end of the arm to instantly capture rising fumes. This power is crucial to prevent smoke from obscuring the weld pool or operator’s view.
Primary Particulate & Spark Arresting Filter
A first-stage, easy-to-clean metal filter that catches larger welding spatter, sparks, and debris from laser cleaning. This protects the downstream fine filters from damage and clogging.
Fine Dust & Fume Filter Cartridge
A secondary filter designed to capture the fine particulate and smoke from the process. For welding, this often includes filtration for sub-micron particles to protect operator health.
Upgrades
Premium Articulated Fume Extraction Arm
An industrial-grade, fully counter-balanced arm with a heat-resistant capture shroud. Allows for effortless, millimeter-precise positioning directly over the weld seam or cleaning path, ensuring near-total fume capture at the source.
High-Temperature Resistant Hose & Ducting Kit
Upgraded internal and flexible components lined with specialized materials. Withstands prolonged exposure to extreme heat and spatter from welding and laser ablation, ensuring long-term durability and preventing melt-downs.

FAQ
1. What is the W-Series Fume Extractor designed for?
The W-Series is designed for targeted source capture during laser welding and laser cleaning. Its articulated arm is intended to position extraction close to the weld pool or cleaning path, where smoke and fine debris are generated.
2. Why is source capture important for laser welding and cleaning?
Capturing fumes close to the source helps keep smoke out of the operator’s breathing zone and away from the laser process. The page also positions the W-Series to improve visibility and reduce interference around welding and cleaning work.
3. What performance does the W-Series list?
The product page lists 690 m³/h extraction capacity, 99.97% filtration @ 0.3 µm, two suction ports and a Ø75 mm inlet. The final setup must account for hose length, hood distance and contaminant type.
