Safety precautions for operators in the use of fiber laser cutting machines

  1. When the fiber laser cutting machine is started, the operator shall not leave the working area without authorization to avoid being unable to deal with emergencies in time. If you need to leave, you should shut down the machine or turn off the power switch.
  2. When transporting, loading and unloading processing materials, be sure to prevent materials from falling and injuring personnel, and wear protective gloves to prevent cuts.

3. When the equipment is powered on, do not touch the energized components in the electrical cabinet.

4. After starting up, the machine should be manually started at a low speed in the X-axis and Y-axis directions to check and confirm whether there are any abnormal conditions.

5. Before laser processing, walk the simulation frame first and pay attention to the operation of the machine tool to avoid collisions caused by the cutting laser head running out of the effective range and causing accidents.

6. Before exchanging the workbench, ensure that there are no people near the workbench behind the machine tool and that the sheet material placement does not exceed the workbench processing area to avoid personal injury or damage to the machine tool.

7. During laser processing, most sheet materials will produce smoke and particulate matter. For example, heavy metal suspended particles will be produced when processing metals, which can harm human organs and tissues. Therefore, it is necessary to understand in advance the properties of the processed materials and the byproducts that may be produced after the laser interacts with the material, evaluate their impact on health, and take necessary protective measures.

8. Ensure that the house where the fiber laser cutting machine is placed is well ventilated. A strong exhaust and ventilation device needs to be installed indoors. If the pollutant emission is large, a filter device needs to be installed to avoid polluting the atmospheric environment.

9. After the laser and metal materials act, the metal materials will retain a lot of heat. Do not touch the processed materials immediately to prevent burns.

10. If an abnormality occurs during the processing, the machine should be stopped immediately and the fault should be eliminated in time.

 

Safety precautions for operators after using the fiber laser cutting machine

  1. After the operation is completed, the laser high voltage should be turned off and the speed multiplier switch should be lowered to zero to avoid harm caused by misoperation by idle personnel.
  2. After the operation is completed, the power supply should be turned off, the gas valve should be closed, the work site should be cleaned, and the laser cutting equipment should be maintained on a daily basis.
