In the use and maintenance of a laser marking machine, you need to master the method and careful maintenance to make the machine perform its role more stably and ensure the safety and health of your operators.In this article, the tips are given to stay safe when using a laser marking machine. Check out the precautions.
The precautions are listed below:
General precautions of using laser marking machine
Other precautions of using laser marking machine
(1) Before use a laser marking machine, check whether the power interface of the device is loose and whether the buttons and switches are normal. Fix the marked workpiece or empty mark on the work surface, place the marked part under the laser lens, and adjust the distance between the two.
(2) Please strictly follow the startup steps of the laser marking machine, and do not mess with it.
(3) Equipment operators must be trained, familiar with the performance structure of the laser marking machine, and able to independently control the equipment system.
(4) If you don't know the composition of the workpiece, please do not operate the laser marking machine. Fiber laser marking machine is mainly used for metal materials and some non-metal materials.
(5) During laser processing, the operator must not leave the workbench or change at will. If you have to leave, you can turn off the laser marking machine and cut off the power.
(6) Fire-fighting equipment should be placed in an appropriate safe location. When the laser marking machine is not running, turn off the machine. Do not place flammable objects on the side of the laser beam. The laser marking machine must be well grounded to prevent electrostatic interference and electrical damage.
(7) If there is any abnormality during the operation, stop the laser marking machine immediately and arrange personnel to inspect and maintain the equipment. Please note: Do not disassemble by yourself when repaired by a professional or authorized supplier of the equipment supplier.
(8) The workbench and the surrounding area should be clean and tidy, and the processing parts should be arranged neatly and orderly, keeping clean and tidy to ensure the smooth progress of the production process
2. Other precautions of using laser marking machine
(1) Wearing glasses.
First, a laser is a very high-intensity coherent light source that, if used accidentally, can cause permanent eye damage or blindness. When operating a laser marking machine, you should use a laser with an approved laser safety cover, or a laser with laser safety glasses / goggles. The glass or laser safety window on the housing has an optical density (OD) of at least 5 at the laser wavelength. This is equivalent to a 100,000-fold reduction in the intensity of the laser light passing through the safety glass.
(2) Stay away from the fumes
In some cases, laser engraving can produce smoke, fumes or dust that you should not inhale. To prevent this, some lasers have a fume extractor / filter. Make sure it is on and working, and that the filter (if any) is not blocking. Third-party range hoods / filters can also be used in these situations.
(3) Electricity safety
Some lasers require high voltages to operate. Make sure there are no loose connections, no exposed high-voltage wires, and stay away from them when applying voltage.
Suddenly a large amount of power interference can sometimes cause a laser marking machine failure. Although rare, it should be avoided as much as possible. Therefore, such as large electric welding machines, large electric mixers and large power transmission and transformation equipment should be kept away. Strong vibration equipment is self-evident, such as forging presses, vibrations caused when walking close to motor vehicles, and ground vibrations are very detrimental to precision carving.
