Safety Guide when using a Fiber Laser Cutting Machine

As a high-tech equipment for metal cutting, fiber laser cutting machine is widely used in the field of metal manufacturing. Fiber laser cutting machines can cut metal sheets and metal tubes, and are also ahead of other traditional metal cutting processes in terms of consumables, efficiency, and environmental protection. Correct use of fiber laser cutting machine is conducive to maintaining cutting accuracy and prolonging the service life of the equipment. Therefore, how to operate the fiber metal cutting machine safely has become the concern of equipment operators.

 

1. Before the machine starts to work, the operator should conduct a detailed inspection of the machine according to the equipment checklist. If a problem is found, immediate action should be taken. If the problem is not resolved, do not start the machine without authorization.

2. Check whether the pneumatic part of the fiber laser cutting machine is leaking and whether the compressed air pressure meets the requirements. The moisture in the compressed air must be removed before working every day, and if there is a leak, please deal with it immediately.

3. Check whether the machine distribution box, power supply, grounding wire, indicator light, instrument, emergency switch, etc. are normal and reliable.

4. Check whether the oil level of the lubricating hydraulic system and the laser cooling system is normal, and whether the water level is normal. If there is a shortage of water or oil, it should be replenished in time. The water level of the cooling water tank of the laser generator cannot be lower than the lowest mark. Check whether the water temperature is normal, and ensure that the cooling water temperature meets the standard to make the machine glow normally.

5. When using the sheet metal laser cutting machine, pay attention to moisture-proof, dust-proof and anti-corrosion, and keep the machine clean and well-ventilated.

6. Check and clean the machine worktable and the surrounding site to keep it clean and free of waste accumulation. The cut metal workpiece is placed in the designated position as required to prevent the machine from being scratched.

7. Because the fiber laser cutting machine needs to be equipped with auxiliary gas when cutting metal. Therefore, it is necessary to check whether the pressure reducers and instruments of each gas cylinder are in good condition, and the gas cylinders are installed firmly. The pipeline connection is firm and there is no gas leakage.

8. Start the laser cutting equipment for no-load test before working, and then carry out metal cutting after confirming that the machine is working properly. If the device is faulty, it can be turned on and work only after the problem is solved.

In addition to the above inspections of the machine, operators must also pay attention to their own safety.

1. The operator of the laser machine must dry his hands before working. Do not touch switches or buttons when your hands are wet, as there is a risk of electric shock. After the machine completes metal cutting, you need to wear work gloves to pick up the metal workpiece to avoid scratches or burns.

2. When operating the fiber laser cutting machine, the operator needs to wear laser goggles to prevent the laser from causing damage to human eyes. Laser goggles are filtered according to the wavelength of the laser radiation of the sheet metal cutting machine to protect human eyes.

 

Whether your workshop has a metal laser cutting machine, or other CNC equipment, safe production is very important. Only by mastering the correct use steps of the machine can the fiber laser cutting machine have a longer service life and ensure the safety of the operator.
