Description
The Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH Air Compressor is a 15 bar high-pressure rotary screw air compressor specifically designed for laser cutting applications.
Delivering high-pressure, stable, and responsive compressed air, the CPVSH series supports the laser cutting process, helping improve cut surface quality, production efficiency, and reliable laser system operation.
The series includes two main motor power options, 15 kW and 22 kW, along with integrated configurations to meet different compressed air system requirements.
Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH – Designed for Laser Cutting Applications
In laser cutting, compressed air plays a more important role than simply providing an auxiliary energy source.
The cutting process requires stable air flow and pressure to support consistent cutting performance and maintain cut surface quality. Compressed air also helps cool and protect the laser cutting head, contributing to longer equipment service life.
For these reasons, Chicago Pneumatic developed the CPVSH series with a configuration specifically tailored to the requirements of laser cutting systems.
Key Features and Benefits of Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH
15 Bar High-Pressure Compressed Air
One of the main advantages of the CPVSH series is its ability to deliver compressed air at 1.5 MPa, equivalent to 15 bar.
This operating pressure makes the CPVSH suitable for laser cutting applications requiring a stable, high-pressure compressed air supply.
It also provides an alternative to using a conventional lower-pressure air compressor combined with additional downstream pressure-boosting equipment, where system requirements permit.
Stable Compressed Air Supply
In laser cutting operations, fluctuations in air pressure and flow can directly affect cutting performance.
The CPVSH is designed to maintain consistent air flow and discharge pressure during extended operating periods, providing a continuous compressed air supply for laser cutting machines.
This is an important factor in supporting cutting accuracy and consistent cut surface quality.
Fast Response to Air Demand
The Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH 20-30 HP series is designed to respond quickly to the compressed air requirements of laser cutting equipment.
Its responsive operation helps provide the required air supply as demand changes, reducing potential delays and supporting production efficiency.
Automatic Pressure Adjustment
The CPVSH series incorporates functions developed for laser cutting applications, including automatic air pressure adjustment.
This capability allows the compressed air system to respond more effectively to changing operating requirements rather than maintaining the same operating conditions at all times.
Intelligent Fault Diagnosis and Monitoring
The CPVSH integrates intelligent fault diagnosis functions to support equipment condition monitoring.
These functions help operators identify operating abnormalities, monitor compressor performance, and reduce the potential impact of equipment issues on production.
Compressed Air Treatment – Essential for Laser Cutting Quality
In laser cutting applications, compressed air quality is just as important as operating pressure.
Chicago Pneumatic offers multi-stage air filtration and drying solutions to improve compressed air quality before it reaches the laser cutting equipment.
Properly treated compressed air helps support cutting accuracy while protecting downstream components from moisture, oil contamination, and other impurities.
Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH TMDD – Integrated Compressed Air System
In addition to standalone compressor versions, Chicago Pneumatic offers the CPVSH TMDD configuration.
This version features a compressor mounted on a 500-liter air receiver tank, together with integrated compressed air treatment components, creating a compact compressed air system within a single equipment package.
The integrated design reduces the number of separately installed components and simplifies the arrangement of a dedicated compressed air supply for laser cutting machines.
It is particularly suitable for workshops seeking a compact and organized compressed air installation.

The Role of Compressed Air in Laser Cutting Systems
Compressed air supplied by the Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH can perform several important functions during laser cutting operations:
- Cutting Assistance: Delivers a stable, high-pressure air stream to the cutting zone, helping remove molten material during the cutting process.
- Cut Surface Quality: Consistent air pressure and flow help maintain cutting accuracy and improve edge quality.
- Cooling: Compressed air assists in controlling heat around the cutting area.
- Laser Cutting Head Protection: Proper air supply helps protect important cutting head components from contamination and excessive heat.
- Production Efficiency: Adequate air flow and responsive air delivery support consistent cutting performance and help reduce unnecessary production delays.
Which Industries Can Benefit from Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH?
The Chicago Pneumatic CPVSH is designed for businesses operating laser cutting machines that require a dedicated 15 bar compressed air supply.
Typical applications include:
Sheet Metal Processing – Laser Cutting – Metal Fabrication – Steel Structure Manufacturing – Industrial Laser Cutting Production Lines
Depending on production capacity and compressed air consumption, businesses can choose between the CPVSH20 15 kW and CPVSH30 22 kW models.
Both standalone and integrated TMDD configurations are available to accommodate different installation and compressed air treatment requirements.
Why Compressor Selection Should Not Depend Only on Laser Machine Power
A higher-power laser cutting machine does not automatically mean that a proportionally larger air compressor motor is required.
When designing a compressed air system for laser cutting, several factors must be considered together:
Required Pressure + Air Flow + Air Quality + Consumption Profile + Operating Hours
In particular, CPVSH air flow capacity varies according to operating conditions.
Therefore, choosing between the CPVSH20 and CPVSH30 should be based on the actual compressed air requirements of the laser cutting system rather than simply comparing the compressor motor ratings of 15 kW and 22 kW.
Proper compressor selection helps maintain reliable cutting performance while avoiding insufficient air supply or unnecessary equipment investment.
