✨✨With the rapid development of laser technology in the field of intelligent manufacturing, fiber laser cutting machines have become core equipment for metal processing enterprises. Their high efficiency and cutting precision provide significant production advantages. However, as high-energy and high-precision industrial laser equipment, proper and safe operation is absolutely critical. To ensure stable machine performance and operator safety, Foster Laser reminds all users of the following precautions:
✅Preparations Before Operation
Read the manual carefully: Operators must thoroughly study the User Manual and related operating instructions before powering on the machine, and strictly follow all procedures.
Qualified operators only: The machine must not be operated by personnel without professional training to prevent accidents.
✅Environment and Power Requirements
Working environment: The machine should be placed in a dry, clean, pollution-free area without vibration, strong electrical interference, or magnetic fields.
Temperature & humidity: Operating conditions should be maintained at 5℃–40℃ with humidity between 5%–85% (non-condensing).
Stable power supply: Voltage must meet the specified requirements. If the grid voltage is unstable or mismatched, do not start the machine to avoid damage.
Electromagnetic interference: Avoid installing the machine near equipment sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.
✅Laser Safety Warnings
Fiber laser cutting machines use Class 4 lasers, which carry strong radiation hazards, including:
Fire risks: The laser beam can ignite flammable materials nearby.
Harmful gases: Cutting different materials may release toxic or hazardous fumes.
Radiation hazards: Direct or reflected laser beams can cause severe injury to humans.
Therefore:
Ensure the workplace is equipped with proper fire-fighting equipment.
Keep flammable and explosive items away from the machine.
Maintain good workshop ventilation to effectively exhaust harmful gases.
Restrict access — unauthorized personnel must not approach the machine.
✅Safety During Operation
Risk assessment: Confirm the suitability of the workpiece before laser cutting.
Equipment protection: High-voltage components inside the machine must not be opened or serviced by non-authorized personnel.
Grounding protection: The machine and all related devices must be properly grounded before operation.
No cover removal: Do not open the housing or covers while the machine is running to avoid exposure to high voltage or laser radiation.
Real-time monitoring: Operators must supervise the process at all times. If any abnormality occurs, power off immediately and follow emergency procedures.
Dedicated supervision: The machine must not be left unattended during operation. Power supply must be shut off when the operator leaves.
✅Prohibited Actions
Never place unrelated reflective or diffusive objects inside the machine, as laser reflections can harm both operators and the machine.
Do not violate safety protocols or modify equipment parameters without authorization.
✅Environmental & Regulatory Compliance
Cutting materials and exhaust emissions must comply with local regulations and environmental standards.
It is recommended to equip the machine with an exhaust purification system to ensure a clean and safe working environment.
🔥🔥🔥Safety is the foundation of productivity. While fiber laser cutting machines deliver immense value, operators must prioritize safety awareness at all times. Only by adhering to strict safety protocols and maintaining a secure working environment can enterprises fully maximize the advantages of laser technology and achieve higher efficiency and reliability.
