To provide an air supply system capable of supplying an ample volume of air even in the case of an air usage volume being large.SOLUTION: An air supply system includes: a main tank; an air compressor driven in any of plural drive modes that includes a first drive mode in which to supply the main tank with air at a first supply speed, and a second drive mode in which to supply the main tank with air at a second supply speed being higher than the first supply speed; and a control part for causing the air compressor to start an air supply in the first drive mode in the case of recognizing that tank pressure being the pressure of the main tank has decreased to a first pressure value, and switching drive modes to the second drive mode from the first drive mode in the case of recognizing that the tank pressure has decreased to a second pressure value being smaller than the first pressure value while the air compressor supplies air in the first drive mode.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】エア使用量が多い場合においても十分なエアを供給することができるエア供給システムを提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】エア供給システムは、メインタンクと、第１の供給速度で前記メインタンクにエアを供給する第１の駆動モード、および、第１の供給速度よりも大きい第２の供給速度でメインタンクにエアを供給する第２の駆動モードを含む複数の駆動モードの中のいずれかの駆動モードで駆動されるエアコンプレッサと、メインタンクの圧力であるタンク圧が第１の圧力値に低下したことを認識した場合、第１の駆動モードでの前記エアコンプレッサによるエア供給を開始させ、第１の駆動モードでエアコンプレッサがエア供給している間にタンク圧が第１の圧力値よりも小さい第２の圧力値に低下したことを認識した場合、駆動モードを第１の駆動モードから第２の駆動モードに切り替える制御部と、を備える。【選択図】図４
