As a high-precision processing equipment, small scale fiber laser cutting machine improves production efficiency while operating safety is the core prerequisite. Standardized compliance with safety regulations can not only ensure the personal safety of operators, but also extend the life of equipment and reduce failures. The following combs the main points of safe operation of small scale fiber laser cutting machine from the three key links before, during operation, and after shutdown.
1. Before turning on：
Equipment status verification: Before starting the small scale fiber laser cutting machine, check whether the appearance of the equipment is intact, and focus on confirming that the laser head, guide rail, and cable are not damaged or loose; Check whether the cooling system (water tank, water pipe) is unobstructed, and the coolant level needs to be up to standard. When insufficient, replenish the same type of coolant in time to prevent damage to the laser module due to insufficient cooling.
Environmental and protective inspection: The operating area needs to remove flammable and explosive items such as alcohol, gasoline, and cardboard boxes, and maintain ventilation; Test safety protective devices (protective covers, emergency stop buttons, and safety grilles) to ensure that the emergency stop buttons can be powered off immediately, and the equipment stops when the safety grilles are triggered, and the protection function is effective.
Auxiliary system confirmation: If the small scale fiber laser cutting machine is equipped with auxiliary gas (oxygen, nitrogen), check that the pressure of the gas cylinder is normal and the trachea connection is firm and there is no leakage; Confirm that the ventilation system (pipeline, fan) is unobstructed to avoid the accumulation of cutting smoke and dust affecting safety and the environment.
2. In operation：
Personnel protection is in place: operators need to wear special equipment-anti-laser glasses (matching laser wavelengths), dust-proof masks, non-slip work shoes, and long hair coiled into work caps; it is forbidden to wear jewelry and loose clothing to prevent getting involved in moving parts of the equipment.
Standard operating steps: After the equipment is started, the empty machine will be tested for trial operation to test whether the trajectory and cutting parameters of the laser head are normal; The material should be placed flat and fixed, debris should be prohibited, and the hands should be kept away from the range of the laser head; the whole process of cutting is monitored, and abnormal noises, sparks or alarms are found. Immediately press the emergency stop button to power off and investigate, and operation with faults is prohibited.
Eliminate dangerous behavior: It is strictly forbidden to open the protective cover when the small scale fiber laser cutting machine is running to avoid direct laser radiation or reflection from hurting eyes and skin; It is forbidden to touch high-temperature parts or materials that have just been processed to prevent burns; Play is prohibited in the operating area, and unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter.
3. After shutdown：
Standardize the shutdown process: After the cutting is completed, first turn off the laser output, wait for the laser head to return to the origin, the components stop, and then turn off the main power supply of the equipment, the auxiliary gas valve, and the ventilation system in turn; There is no need to turn off the main switch for a long time, unplug the plug, and make a record of the power failure.
Cleaning and maintenance: Clean the operating area, clean the cutting waste residue and dust to avoid accumulation and fire; Clean the surface and guide rail of the small scale fiber laser cutting machine, and use special lubricating oil to maintain the guide rail to prevent rust; Check the nozzle, lens and other wearing parts, and replace them in time if they are severely worn, so that they can be used normally next time they are turned on.
Eagle laser's small scale fiber laser cutting machine is designed to incorporate multiple safety functions such as dual emergency stop, overheating protection, and leakage protection to reduce risks from the source. However, no matter how high the safety performance of the equipment is, strict compliance with operating procedures is still the core of safety. Operators need to participate in safety training regularly, master skills and emergency methods, so that small scale fiber laser cutting machine can help production safely and efficiently.
