Laser cutting is a widely used processing method in the laser processing industry. The whole machine is stable and reliable, with good dynamic performance and strong load capacity. It is a high-tech product that integrates laser cutting, precision machinery, CNC technology and other disciplines, with characteristics such as high speed, high precision, and high cost-effectiveness. With the increasing use of laser cutting machines in various industries, operators of laser cutting machines need some necessary protective measures to avoid unnecessary injuries during industrial operations.
1、 Eye protection
Usually, when using a laser cutting machine, we habitually like to stare at the cutting head of the laser all the time. However, this habit is actually the biggest killer to the eyes, which is the most direct harm. Because staring at the sparks generated by cutting for a long time can be harmful to the eyes, and looking at it for a long time can cause a piercing sensation. At the same time, during laser cutting and processing, a special substance of laser will also be emitted. This substance is highly concentrated in the processing workshop and is directly focused on the retina through the refractive medium of the eye to form an image. This will make the energy density on the retina membrane higher than on the cornea, which can cause damage to the cornea or retina of the eye.
2、 Skin protection
In addition to the eyes, lasers also cause significant irritation to the skin. Laser can cause damage to skin tissue, but this type of damage can be self repaired. Although it may cause a decrease in overall skin function, it will not affect the overall functional structure. However, if not irradiated under the laser for a long time, it can cause burns or scars on the skin. Although laser damage to the skin is much smaller compared to the eyes, it should also be taken seriously.
3、 Respiratory protection
Finally, operating the laser cutting machine may have an impact on our respiratory tract. Because laser generates a certain amount of high temperature, which can only be combined with gas to complete various cutting tasks. During this process, a large amount of dust is generated, especially when processing some special metal materials. The dust generated contains many chemical components, so inhalation is harmful to the human body.
