As a high-tech technology, fiber laser cutting machine have occupied an increasingly important position in industrial production. Although laser cutting machines are essentially harmless to the human body, if they are used improperly during use, they will also cause certain damage to the human body. This article will introduce you to the five major dangers of fiber laser cutting machines and corresponding preventive measures.

1. Laser radiation hazard

Looking at the sparks generated by cutting for a long time will cause damage to the eyes and cause stinging. Therefore, during the cutting process of the fiber laser cutting machine, the operator should avoid looking directly at the cutting head. In order to protect the eyes, you can equip professional protective glasses and follow the operating procedures.

2. Electrical shock hazard

There is a risk of electric shock in the high-voltage area of the fiber laser cutting machine. To ensure safety, operators should follow the following measures:

Do not work alone or when tired in high-voltage areas

Do not work in high-voltage areas when sweating

Take off all metal ornaments and other metal objects

Do not touch the energized components in the electrical cabinet when the power is on

3. Gas explosion hazard

The auxiliary gases such as nitrogen and oxygen used in the cutting process of the fiber laser cutting machine may cause dangers such as hypoxia and fire. To prevent gas explosions, the following matters should be noted:

Make sure to turn off the gas supply when shutting down

A fire extinguisher should be installed near the machine

It is strictly forbidden to stack flammable and explosive items around the machine tool

4. Gas toxicity hazard

The vaporized substances and reaction products generated during laser processing may cause toxic hazards to the human body. To protect the operator, ensure good ventilation in the workplace and use professional exhaust equipment to reduce the inhalation of harmful substances.

5. Fire hazard

The high temperature generated by the fiber laser cutting machine during operation may cause fire. To prevent fire, the following measures should be taken:

Dry powder fire extinguishers should be installed within 5 meters of the machine

Operators must undergo fire drill training

Do not place flammable materials where the laser beam may shine

In short, although the fiber laser cutting machine itself is not harmful to the human body, it is still necessary to strictly follow the safety operating procedures during use and take corresponding preventive measures to ensure personal and property safety. At the same time, regular maintenance and repair of the fiber laser cutting machine is also an important measure to prevent accidents. Only by doing a good job in these aspects can the high-efficiency performance of the fiber laser cutting machine be fully utilized to bring more value to production.
