How to use fiber laser marking machine protection?

[Chinese Packaging Network News] A fiber laser marking machine uses a laser with excellent beam quality, emitting at a central wavelength of 1064nm. With an operational lifespan of approximately 100,000 hours, it outperforms other types of laser markers in terms of longevity. Its electro-optic conversion efficiency exceeds 28%, which is significantly higher than the 2% to 10% efficiency of traditional laser marking machines. This makes it more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. How can users ensure safe operation of a fiber laser marking machine?

1. When using engraving machines and laser systems, it's essential to install beam stops, beam expansion systems, safety covers, shutters, and interlocking devices as required by safety standards.

2. For non-enclosed or semi-enclosed laser systems, clearly mark the working area and restrict access to only those directly involved in operating the laser engraving machine. Warning signs should be placed at all entry points to the area. Always monitor the start-up signal of the charging cycle, prepare for potential malfunctions, and prevent accidental laser emissions.

3. The laser engraving machine must not be used without proper authorization. Only trained and certified personnel are allowed to operate the equipment.

4. Unauthorized visitors who do not take necessary protective measures are strictly prohibited from entering the designated management area.

5. Define and limit the laser beam path to avoid exposing operators to direct laser output. Use absorption targets or other methods to dissipate unused energy and prevent unnecessary harm to people.

6. When adjusting laser optics, ensure that no one’s eyes are exposed to the laser beam or its harmful reflections.

7. Avoid looking directly into the laser beam and always wear appropriate laser safety goggles when working with the system.

By following these safety guidelines, users can ensure the efficient and secure operation of fiber laser marking machines, maximizing their performance while minimizing risks. Whether you're in manufacturing, packaging, or industrial production, understanding and implementing these practices is crucial for maintaining a safe and productive work environment.
