In the operation process of laser cutting machines, both production and processing safety issues are the first priority, especially in the operation process of metal laser cutting machines, once an accident occurs, whether it is personnel safety, machine equipment, or processing, one party will always be affected

Safety points for operating metal laser cutting machines

The following large image shows several safety factors for operating a laser cutting machine

1： Operators must be trained to be familiar with the structure and performance of the equipment, and proficient in operating system knowledge.

2： Do not make it clear that materials that can be irradiated or heated by laser light should be handled first to avoid the potential danger of generating smoke or steam

3： When starting the equipment, the operator must not leave the platform or take care of it without authorization. If it is necessary to leave, it is necessary to stop the machine or turn off the power switch.

4： Comply with general cutting machine safety performance standards. Start the laser in strict accordance with the laser startup procedure.

5： Place the fire extinguisher in an easily accessible place, turn off the laser when not working, and do not place test paper or other flammable materials near the laser beam.

6： Do not handle materials that can be irradiated or heated by laser light before they are identified to avoid the potential hazards of smoke and vapor generation.

7： If any abnormality is found during the handling process, immediately shut down the machine and eliminate the fault or report it to the supervisor in a timely manner.

8： Wear occupational protective equipment as required, and compatible laser goggles must be worn near the laser beam.

9： When using gas cylinders, avoid crushing the welding wires to avoid leakage accidents. The use and transportation of gas cylinders must comply with cylinder regulatory regulations. It is prohibited to explode gas cylinders in sunlight or near heat sources. When opening the bottle valve, the operator should stand beside the bottle mouth.

10： Maintain equipment in accordance with high voltage safety regulations. According to standards and procedures, metal laser cutting machines are maintained every 40 hours of operation or weekly, and every 1000 hours of operation or six months. After turning on the machine, manually turn it on at low speed in the X and Y directions, and check for abnormalities.

The above is the sharing of ten safety points for operating metal laser cutting machines. It is important to remember safety in production
