The Manufacturer of Laser Cutting Machine Reminds You to Pay Attention to 5 Precautions for Safe Operation

2022-07-23 11:36:34

Nowadays, the use and popularity of fiber laser cutting machines have soared, which means that many people who have never used laser cutting machines before have now found the benefits of laser cutting machines, such as ease of use, accuracy, and speed. This also means that many new users are not aware of some unique safety problems brought by laser cutting machines.

 

LASER CUTTING MACHINE

 

  1. Don't leave your laser unattended

 

A common mistake of new operators is the lack of supervision of the machine during project cutting. Admittedly, laser cutting machines are usually fast, but larger projects may take several hours to complete. The tendency of new operators is sometimes to leave the machine while the work is running. This should be an obvious fire safety risk. Even if the better machine is made of a metal shell (plastic should be avoided), the continuous heat of the laser hitting the bottom of the shell will damage the external shell, burn electronic components, and even cause a fire. This usually happens when the power setting is too high, and the laser passes through the material and then concentrates on the bottom of the chassis. A simple way to ensure that fire or melting never happens is to always work with the laser on. If an operator needs to take a rest to monitor the work, there must be another operator to replace them. Of course, all workshops must have properly inspected fire extinguishers for easy use.

 

  1. Do not cut materials with unknown properties

 

Most people associate fiber laser cutting machines with wood cutting, while others know that some machines, such as MC series fiber laser cutting machines, can also cut metal. When buying laser machines, many people find that they can cut or mark a large number of materials, including fabric, paper, cardboard, ceramic tiles, stone, glass, acrylic acid, etc. Cutting each material with a laser will release smoke, which is mostly swept away by the exhaust fan of the machine, which blows the smoke into the smoke extractor or through the external ventilation system. Although such systems are sufficient for most benign fumes (wood, fabric, etc.), they are not manufactured to remove the fatal fumes of operators, such as fumes from PVC plastics. If you breathe the smoke generated by the heat of PVC and other plastics, even a small dose can be fatal, so you can't cut it with a laser. Whenever you purchase materials for laser cutting, please check with the supplier for any toxic safety warnings. If you're not sure about a material, don't cut it with a laser.

 

  1. Always keep the workshop clean

 

Safety and cleanliness complement each other in minimizing the risk of injury. Most people do not realize that small particles of cutting material (such as sawdust) in the air will be ignited and cause an explosion. Although the laser cutting machine will not release dust particles (the cut material is completely disassembled), leaving the remaining waste in the aggregate bucket will also become a fire hazard. Keeping a clean and debris-free workshop can reduce the risk of accidents or other serious safety problems. It also creates "best practices" for operators to spend time cleaning their workstations after each use.

 

  1. Understand the situation and then cut

 

In any case, it is the operator's responsibility to know how to use the laser safely before turning it on. Before using any machine, you should read the user manual and pay special attention to all safety issues and concerns. By knowing your machine and reading the manual, you will know, for example, whether the safe operation of your specific laser cutting machine requires eye protection. In other words, the workshop should post safety signs to remind people to always pay attention to safety issues.

 

  1. Be vigilant

 

Accidents happen when people become complacent in their daily work. Safety must always be considered when working near the machine. Pay attention to your environment and your daily work habits. Before starting work, pay attention to safety issues every day and adopt better practices.
