AirGraver Features and Benefits
The
AirGraver™ is a self-running, miniature air engine using no
springs or electricity. Just blowing in the handpiece will cause it to
run. As this is impractical, the handpiece utilizes one of two types
of controllers. One controller is a set of regulators that attaches to an air compressor and a foot pedal. The second option is a PalmControl™
handle that automatically uses the natural palm pressure of the user
on the entire handle to control and vary the power of the tool. Even if a person is
accustomed to foot pedal engraving, a few minutes with the PalmControl™
is all it takes to realize the improved responsiveness. The hand is
more sensitive than the foot and capable of subtle corrections.
Because the tool is self-contained, there is no constant
background noise or vibration from a separate power unit.

BENEFIT |
SPM speed range
(Strokes per Minute)
Stainless piston: 2,400-15,000 SPM
Tungsten piston: 1,500-11,000 SPM |
Smooth cutting and less point breakage. When desired the point can move though the metal faster. Complete engraving projects faster with improved
control |
No motorized control box needed |
No
constant background noise or vibration from a motorized control box,
less space required |
Patented Variable/adjustable piston stroke length |
Extremely broad cutting range, increased versatility, only one handpiece needed |
No piston spring |
Power range not limited by spring strength |
PalmControl available
(patented, patents pending) |
Eliminates foot pedal; easier to learn; no need to coordinate foot and hand movements; intuitive to “hand” engraving |
Controls on handpiece |
Make adjustments “on the fly” |
Wall-mount regulator |
More space on bench |
Rubber handle |
Non-slip for solid control |
