Because the main working principle of laser cutting machines is achieved by relying on lasers, it is necessary to take some necessary protective measures to avoid unnecessary bodily injury during industrial operations. Let’s take a look at the necessary protective measures to be taken during normal operation of this laser cutting principle.
First, pay attention to eye protection
Protective measures when operating laser cutting machines
Generally, when using a laser cutting machine, we habitually prefer to stare at the cutting head of the laser all the time, but this habit is actually the most detrimental to the eyes, because staring at the sparks generated by the cutting for a long time can harm the eyes. A clear feeling is that looking at the cutting head for a long time can cause a tingling sensation in the eyes, which is the most direct injury. At the same time, during laser cutting processing, There is also a specific substance that emits laser light. This substance is highly concentrated in the processing workshop, and is directly focused onto the retina through the refractive medium of the eye to form an image. This will make the energy density on the retina’s retina 104 higher than the energy density on the cornea, which can cause damage to the cornea or retina of the eye.
Second, skin protection
In addition to the eyes, laser stimulation of the skin is also not small. Laser can cause damage to skin tissue, but this type of damage to the skin can be repaired by itself. Although it can reduce the overall function of the skin, it will not affect the overall functional structure. However, if you do not pay attention to irradiation under the laser for a long time, it can cause burns or scars on the skin, although compared to the eyes, Laser damage to the skin is much smaller, but it should also be given sufficient attention.
Third, respiratory tract protection
Finally, when operating a laser cutting machine, it may have an impact on our respiratory tract. Because laser light can generate a certain amount of high temperature, which can be combined with gas to complete various cutting tasks. During this process, a large amount of dust will be generated, especially when processing some special metal materials, the dust generated will contain many chemical components, so it is harmful to the human body after inhalation.
