In fact, this is not just your question. Every time a customer comes to consult about laser welding equipment, this question will almost always be mentioned. Today, let's talk about the "radiation truth" of automated continuous fiber laser welding machine - whether it will harm the body, what companies should pay attention to during use, and why it is widely used in the high-precision manufacturing industry.
Does automated continuous fiber laser welding machine really have radiation?
The answer is: Yes, but it is not the kind of "nuclear radiation" you imagine.
Automated continuous fiber laser welding machine will generate electromagnetic radiation, which belongs to "non-ionizing radiation" and is closer in nature to the mobile phones, wi-fi, TV signals, etc. That we come into contact with in daily life, rather than the high-risk radiation of nuclear power plants. From the perspective of radiation types, its risk of harm to the human body is extremely low.
And we have followed international safety standards such as iec 60825 in the design of equipment. In other words, as long as it is operated according to the specifications, its radiation is completely controlled within the safe range.
Is it really safe to use? We will talk about it from three aspects:
1. The equipment has its own safety guarantee
Modern continuous fiber laser welder is generally equipped with protective covers, closed optical paths, anti-reflective coatings, emergency stop devices, etc. To minimize the risk of laser leakage and accidental injury. These designs are all designed to prevent operators from almost touching the laser body during normal use.
2. As long as the operation is proper, there is no need to worry
In daily use, the real danger is actually "wrong use":
A. For example, not wearing laser protective glasses;
B. Or removing the protective cover without authorization to look directly at the laser beam;
C. Or allowing unrelated personnel to frequently approach the equipment operation area...
These behaviors are potential risks. Under standardized operation, the radiation of continuous fiber laser welder has almost no effect on the body.
3. Regular maintenance & training are essential:
A. Want to minimize the risk? Then do these points:
B. Regularly inspect the equipment to ensure that the optical path is completely closed and the system is not aged;
C. Wear protective glasses and work clothes before operation;
D. All operators must receive professional training;
E. Set up obvious warning signs in the welding area and prohibit unrelated personnel from approaching.
Why do people still use continuous fiber laser welder?
Because its practicality is really strong.
Compared with traditional welding methods, laser welding has the following advantages:
1. High-precision welding and small heat-affected area;
2. Small and beautiful welds, less post-processing;
3. Suitable for a variety of materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloy;
4. Fast speed, high efficiency and high degree of automation.
Therefore, it is widely used in industries with extremely high precision requirements such as automobile manufacturing, aerospace, medical equipment, 3c electronics, etc.
Choose the right equipment and use the right method:
Continuous fiber laser welder does generate electromagnetic radiation, but that does not mean "unsafe". With standard design, reasonable usage habits and perfect safety training, it is a very reliable processing equipment.
