The main hazards of laser to human body are eyes and skin. Laser irradiation of any part of the body can cause burns.
Especially long-term laser processing observation will seriously damage the retina of the eyes, so the operator must strictly wear laser protective glasses! It is forbidden to operate and observe the equipment with naked eyes! Avoid exposing any part of the body to the light path of the operating laser equipment to avoid laser damage to the eyes.
Eye and skin protection: In the laser processing process, CO2, YAG and fiber lasers are usually used, and the damage to the human body is different for different types of lasers. The wavelengths of YAG and fiber lasers have high transmittance to the eye, which is more harmful to the eye and may cause damage to the retina of the eye. The main hazard of CO2 lasers is to burn the cornea of the eye. Both types of laser exposure can lead to the risk of cataracts in the eyes and skin burns. Therefore, corresponding protective measures should be taken according to different types of lasers. The laser of the machine tool produced by Longtai is a fiber laser, so it is necessary to strictly wear protective glasses.
Fire protection: Oxygen is often used during laser cutting, and the splash of sparks during the cutting process is prone to cause a fire hazard. Therefore, there should be no flammable and explosive materials in the work area, and there should be corresponding fire prevention facilities.
