Is Laser Safe During Its Processing?
There are certain safety risks during laser processing, but through correct operation and protective measures, these risks can be significantly reduced.
Laser processing technology, such as laser marking machines and laser cutting machines, may cause certain harm to the human body during operation. For example, laser marking machines will produce high-temperature laser beams during use. If operated improperly, it can easily damage the skin epidermis. In addition, although the laser marking machine will produce a trace amount of radiation during use, the harm caused by these radiation to the human body is almost zero. As long as it is operated correctly, the harm to the human body is almost negligible1. However, if your eyes stare at the laser beam for a long time, it may cause certain harm. Therefore, operators should try to be familiar with the operating rules and procedures to avoid unnecessary risks.
During the processing of the laser cutting machine, if the operator observes the sparks generated by cutting for a long time, it may cause damage to the eyes and cause a stinging sensation. This is because the laser has good monochromaticity and the color difference of the fundus is small. As a result, extremely low laser energy irradiation can cause damage to the cornea or retina. Therefore, when using a laser cutting machine, operators should wear protective glasses or shields to reduce damage.
In addition, there are other potential safety hazards during laser processing, such as fire risks. Laser cutting machines use oxygen during the cutting process, and are prone to sparks, and sparks may cause fires. Therefore, when using a laser cutting machine, should pay special attention to fire safety measures.
In summary, although laser processing technology has extensive application value in modern industry, there are certain safety risks during use. By taking appropriate protective measures and adhering to safe operating procedures, these risks can be effectively reduced and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.
