The BOFA AD Oracle iQ is a high-performance laser fume extraction system designed to remove harmful fumes during laser processes. It features the iQ Operating System, which offers real-time information, performance analytics, and enhanced safety. The unit includes a 12 m² pre-filter and 15 kg of activated carbon for effective filtration. It has a capacity of 380 m³/hr, uses a centrifugal fan, and operates at noise levels below 60 dB. The system is compact, measuring 980mm x 430mm x 430mm, and weighs 75 kg. It supports 115–230V single-phase power and is designed to minimize maintenance and operating costs.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Symbols used Danger Refers to an immediately impending danger. If the danger is not avoided, it could result in death or severe (crippling) injury. Please consult the manual where this symbol is displayed. Warning Refers to a possibly dangerous situation. If it is not avoided, it could result in death or severe injury.

INSTALLATION Introduction When a component is laser marked an amount of the surface of the substance is thermally decomposed, “burnt off”. This thermal decomposition comprises a mixture of particulate and gaseous compounds. The heat energy causes the gases and surrounding air to quickly expand moving away from the surface at high velocity entraining any particulate with the gases.
Purge air should be kept to a minimum, where possible, to prevent the fume being blown away from the nozzle. High speed bottling lines may need bigger scoops or nozzles both sides of the bottles because of the turbulence caused by the speed of the bottles. Fig.
Extractor Overview The AD range provides extraction and filtration of the fume generated by laser marking, cutting, etching or engraving. The units are of robust design and feature ease of use with minimal maintenance. The main components are shown in Fig. 5. Fig.
Extractor Installation Procedure Caution If this equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired. Read all instructions in this manual before using this extractor. 1. Move the unit to the location where it is going to be installed and remove the unit from its packaging.
Important If the AD unit has an exhaust air outlet spigot fitted, the exhausted air can be routed outside of the building if required. It is important to keep any ducting used to do so to a minimum, in order to reduce back pressure within the system. Filter blocked/System failure signal With this option the extraction unit will have been fitted with a pressure transducer to monitor the condition of the filters and to indicate the extractor is running.
Compressor If the optional compressor is fitted, connect the compressed air line between the laser and the extractor. Ensure that any water trap/ filter unit in use is situated nearest to the laser (and not the extractor). The arrows (indicating air flow) on the side of the water trap/filter should be pointing in the direction of the airflow (i.e.
OPERATION Manual operation Stainless steel AD units are turned on by depressing the green button on the front of the extractor and turned off by depressing the red button. See fig 8. Powder coated AD units are turned on and off by means of a green, illuminated rocker switch on the front of the unit.
Gas Filter Change LED (VOC monitoring) Units equipped with a VOC sensor detect the level of Volatile Organic Compounds in the exhausted air. If their presence exceeds a preset level the Alarm LED on the front panel will illuminate. This indicates that the gas portion of the combined filter is saturated and the filter needs replacing.
COSHH requires the annual inspection and testing to be carried out by a competent person with specific documentation of the results held in a log book. Bofa can provide this service, our inspectors are BOHS P601 qualified, and copies of the required initial information and forms are included in the Log book supplied with the extractor.
Caution: When changing used filters always wear mask, safety glasses and gloves. Filter replacement indication The first few filter changes should only apply to the pre-filter. The indication that the Combined filter needs replacing is when the filter alarm signal and LED’s (if fitted) do not go off after the pre filter has been changed.
