Air filtration assembly with airflow feedback

A work system comprising:

• a work tool;
• a workstation at which the work tool performs a work task;
• and
• an air filtration assembly for filtering gas or particles generated responsive to operation of the work tool, the air filtration assembly comprising:
• an intake repositionable relative to the work tool;
• a housing operably coupled to the intake, the housing comprising a filter, a motor and processing circuitry;
• an exhaust operably coupled to the housing;
• and
• an airflow monitoring assembly operably coupled to the intake,
• wherein the processing circuitry is configured to control the operation of the motor and the airflow monitoring assembly,
• wherein air enters the air filtration assembly at the intake responsive to operation of the motor, before passing through the filter and exiting out the exhaust,
• wherein the airflow monitoring assembly comprises:
• an airflow sensor that measures a mass flow rate of the air entering the intake, and
• a feedback interface that indicates an airflow status based on the mass flow rate measured by the airflow sensor.
