The fiber laser cutting machine is easy to operate, has the advantages of high efficiency and high precision, and is widely used in the metal manufacturing industry. However, if you do not pay attention to protective measures in the process of operating the machine, it is likely to cause injury to the body. This article introduces you to three points of protection so that you can be safer when operating your laser cutting machine.

 

Wear laser goggles

Generally, when using a laser cutting machine, people always stare at the cutting head of the laser, but this habit is very harmful to the eyes. Staring at the sparks from the cut for too long can cause your eyes to tingle and cause injury. At the same time, the laser emits a special laser substance when cutting metal. This substance is highly concentrated in the processing shop and is focused directly on the retina through the eye's refractive medium, forming an image. This results in a higher energy density on the retina and cornea than on the cornea. Causes damage to the cornea or retina of the eye.

Therefore, when operating the fiber laser cutting machine, pay attention to wearing laser goggles to protect your eyes.

 

Pay attention to skin protection

In addition to the eyes, lasers can also irritate the skin. Lasers can cause skin tissue damage. Although this damaged skin can repair itself, if you are not careful and irradiated under the laser for a long time, it will cause skin burns or leave scars. Although laser damage to the skin is much less than that of the eyes, it should also be taken seriously.

 

Pay attention to the protection of the respiratory tract

Finally, the operation of laser cutters can affect our airways. Because the laser will generate a lot of dust in the process of cutting metal, especially when processing some special metal materials, the generated dust will contain a large amount of chemical components, which will cause harm to the human respiratory tract after inhalation. Therefore, the release of harmful gases in the workshop should be mainly controlled when operating the laser cutting machine.
