Regarding the relationship between the range of the heat affected zone and the thickness of the basic material.
Dangers of laser sheet metal cutter.
Polycarbonate is a poor choice for laser cutting.
Most laser cutting machines use a laser beam aligned normal to a flat sheet of material.
The condition usually only lasts a single day according to the occupational safety and health administration with workers most susceptible after several days away from the work environment.
Aluminium is more reflective than c mn steel or stainless steel and has the potential to cause damage to the laser itself.
This means that should the laser beam be reflected by the flat sheet it can be transmitted back through the beam delivery optics and into the laser itself potentially causing significant damage.
Abs emits cyanide gas and tends to melt abs does not cut well in a laser cutter.
Dangerous fumes one of the advantages of laser cutting is its suitability for cutting different materials.
Those using machine very low risk.
Metal fume fever one danger of cutting galvanized steel is metal fume fever a condition caused by the released zinc fumes.
Ensure correct cutting speeds and power for material being cut.
This rings especially true when cutting plastic.
It also does not engrave well again tends to melt.
Generally for any kind of hot cutting technology drill a small hole in the sheet metal is necessary except a few cases can start from the edge of the sheet metal.
All laser cutter systems must be equipped with a fume exhaust system and filtration system that meets manufacturer specifications.
It can be dangerous to both the eyes and the skin.
It tends to melt rather than vaporize and has a higher chance of catching on fire and leaving behind melted gooey deposits on the vector cutting grid.
Ensure guard is engaged and not opened during preparation.
Ensure ventilation is on an advance of using machine.
The laser beam itself is the first safety concern.
At the same time the thermal cutting method makes material melt resulting in emitted gases and dangerous fumes.
Table 1 lists some reference values.
Kern s co2 and fiber laser systems can be equipped with innovative metal cutting technology.
Burns to skin eyes.
Laser cutters will generate fumes vapors particulates and metal fumes from substrate that can be highly toxic plastics and other combustible materials.
Laser flame cutting and laser melting cutting will cause material variation in the edge area of the cut material.
Dangers and safety precautions.
Previously it was punched out a hole with the punch mold in the laser stamping machine then the laser began to cut through the hole.
The metal cutting option allows for accurate cutting of sheet metals like stainless steel mild steel aluminum copper and brass.
Injuries occur when a person is overexposed by viewing the laser beam directly or by a specular or diffusely reflected beam.
