Is the operation of a laser cutter harmful? What should I be aware of when using a laser cutter?

The main harm of laser to human body is eyes and skin, and exposure to laser may burn any part of the body.

CO2, YAG and fiber lasers are commonly used in laser processing laserpecker 2 pro. Different types of lasers do different damage to the human body. YAG and fiber laser may damage the eye's retina, especially fiber laser long-term observation will seriously damage the eye's retina! All operators must strictly wear protective laser glasses! No glasses for surgery and observation!

Avoid putting any part of the body in the flight path of laser equipment to avoid injury caused by misoperation laser cutter. Because the wavelength of YAG and optical laser is extremely transparent to the eyes, it is more harmful to the eyes. The harm of carbon dioxide laser is mainly to burn the cornea. Both types of laser irradiation may lead to the risk of eye cataracts and skin burns. Therefore, according to the type of laser, appropriate protective measures should be taken. This machine is equipped with a fiber laser, so please wear protective glasses strictly.

When using the laser cutter, the laser output may cause the following accidents laserpecker 1:

(1) The laser output may be contaminated by flammable materials and cause fire. We all know that the power of laser generator is very high, especially when it comes to high-power laser cutting machine, the laser temperature is very high. When laser is emitted and comes into contact with flammable objects, the possibility of fire is very high.

(2) harmful gases may be produced when the machine is running. For example, when cutting with oxygen, a chemical reaction occurs with the cutting material, resulting in an unknown chemical substance or impurity, such as fine particles. When absorbed by the body, they may cause an allergic reaction or respiratory distress in the lungs or other areas. Protective measures should be taken when working.

(3) Direct contact with laser will do harm to human body. The harm of laser to human body mainly includes the harm to eyes and skin. Among laser injuries, the most serious damage to the body is the eyes. Eye damage is permanent. So be sure to protect your eyes when you work.

Fire protection: laser cutting often use oxygen, when cutting with sparks splashing, oxygen is likely to cause fire risk. Therefore, the work area should not have inflammable and explosive materials, and should provide the corresponding preventive facilities.

Therefore, it is forbidden to have flammable materials near the machine in the cutting environment, keep ventilation, and the workplace should also be equipped with fire extinguishers. Workers should take self-protection measures at work.
