Laser Extraction for Laser Marking and Coding Systems : AD Base 1 Oracle
The Donaldson BOFA AD Base 1 Oracle is a ride-on fume extractor for laser engraving. The laser machine sits on top of the extractor, so the unit also works as a workstation. It moves 380 m³/h of air at 96 mbar and runs below 64 dB(A). A DeepPleat DUO pre-filter (ePM1 70%) catches larger particles. A combined filter then removes fine particles with a HEPA stage (99.995% at 0.3 microns) and gases with 15.5 litres of activated carbon. It measures 790 × 735 × 740 mm, weighs 86 kg and runs on 115–230 V. It carries UKCA and CE approval.
United Spectrum Instruments is the official BOFA distributor in India. We supply, install and service the AD Base 1 Oracle across the country.
Understanding AD Base 1 Oracle
The AD Base 1 Oracle combines a sturdy machine base with efficient fume extraction. Your laser sits on top, which saves floor space. Its filters remove harmful particles, fumes and gases from laser engraving, marking and cutting. It runs quietly and reliably. It protects operators and laser equipment in one practical unit.

FAQs
What type of lasers is the AD Base 1 Oracle compatible with?
It works with CO₂, fibre, UV, and diode lasers used in marking, coding, and light-duty engraving applications.
Can the AD Base 1 Oracle be used with enclosed laser workstations?
Yes. It is designed to be installed beneath benchtop or enclosed laser marking units for seamless integration.
Does the AD Base 1 Oracle support data logging?
No built-in data logging is listed for this model. It offers optional remote stop/start, System OK (SOK) and VOC sensor signals. For live data and connectivity, consider the AD Oracle Pro OS Connect.
Is this suitable for cleanroom environments?
It uses a pre-filter, a HEPA filter rated 99.995% at 0.3 microns and activated carbon for gases. Whether it suits a cleanroom depends on your process and room class. Contact us and we will check your application.
What is the maintenance requirement for this system?
Maintenance is simple. Open the front door to change the pre-filter (1UA1030156) and the combined filter (1UA1030155).
