Atomstack laser engraving machine is a high-precision, high-efficiency engraving tool that has been widely used in engineering, manufacturing, art and education. However, because the laser beam has high energy, strong visible radiation and invisible ultraviolet and infrared components, the eyes must be strictly protected when using the laser engraving machine to avoid the risk of eye damage or blindness. This article will introduce how to use the laser engraving machine correctly and take te necessary safety measures to protect your eyes.

Understand How Laser Engravers Work and Potential Risks

The Atomstack S20 Pro laser engraving machine focuses the laser beam on a small point, and produces evaporation, peeling, oxidation and other reactions on the surface of the object with high energy density, so as to realize engraving, cutting, marking and other applications. The color and frequency of a laser beam depends on the type and wavelength of the laser. For some lasers that emit invisible radiation such as ultraviolet rays and infrared rays, because they cannot be detected by human eyes, they will cause serious damage to the eyes.

Before using a laser engraver, you must understand how the machine works and its potential hazards. Generally speaking, safety regulations for laser engraving machines include protective equipment, operating instructions, and emergency plans. These specifications are to protect the safety of the user and the working environment, but also to protect the eyes away from the laser beam.

Wear Appropriate Protective Equipment

When using the Atomstack S30 Pro laser engraving machine, proper protective equipment must be worn to protect the eyes, which usually includes the following aspects:

(1) Wear professional protective glasses. Compared with ordinary glasses, safety glasses can filter out harmful components in the laser beam and provide better protection. When choosing protective glasses, you should choose according to factors such as laser type, wavelength, power, etc., and you must ensure that the selected glasses meet international safety standards.

(2) Wear protective face shield or armor. Protective masks or armor can effectively protect the face and head, avoiding damage to the eyes and surrounding tissues by the laser beam.

(3) Wear suitable protective clothing. Some laser engravers require the use of chemicals to process the material, which can splash on the body, so appropriate protective clothing must be worn.

Isolate The Workspace

When using the LaserPecker 3 laser engraving machine, the working area should be isolated to prevent other people or animals from entering, and it can also prevent the laser beam from scattering outward. There should be protective doors, barriers or fences in the work area, and warning signs and warning lights should be set up.

Use Low Power Lasers

Try to use low-power lasers, which can reduce the damage of laser beams to the eyes. For tasks that do not require high-power laser operation, lower-power lasers can be used instead.

Follow Proper Procedures When Operating

When operating the laser engraving machine, you must follow the correct procedures and observe the following precautions:

(1) Before operation, the laser engraver must be inspected to ensure its safety and operating status.

(2) The operator must be familiar with the type, wavelength, power, processing material and other information of the laser, and must receive professional training.

(3) Do not look directly at the laser beam, and avoid irradiating the laser beam to other people or animals, especially the eyes and skin.

(4) Avoid fingers and other body parts touching the laser beam or performing bold operations.

(5) During operation, keep a certain distance and use proper tools or jigs to handle the material.

(6) After the laser engraving machine stops working, wait for an appropriate cooling time before cleaning up materials or other residues.

Protects Against The Effects Of Uv And Ir Rays On The Eyes

For each type of laser, whether it is ultraviolet light, visible light or infrared light, they will cause different hazards to the eyes. Among them, ultraviolet rays mainly damage the cornea and lens, while infrared rays can cause damage to the retina and optic nerve, which may cause blindness, so appropriate protective measures must be taken to avoid these effects.

In view of the influence of ultraviolet rays, appropriate protective glasses should be selected to filter out ultraviolet rays. Choose suitable glasses according to the specific laser wavelength. For the influence of infrared rays, special membranes can be used to filter out infrared components. In addition, suitable hats, curtains, etc. can be used to block the direct exposure of the eyes to the laser beam.

Emergency Measures

Even when all the above safe operating procedures are followed, some dangerous situations may still occur. If the eyes are irradiated by the laser beam, turn off the laser engraving machine immediately, do not take off the protective glasses, and then deal with eye injuries according to the emergency plan, go to the hospital or see a doctor. If minimum safety procedures are not in place, you should stop using your laser engraver immediately and do not attempt to fix any technical malfunctions or electrical problems.

In Conclusion

Laserpecker 2 laser engraving machine is a high-efficiency, high-precision processing tool, but it also has eye hazards that cannot be ignored. When using a laser engraving machine, adequate safety measures must be taken to protect eyes from the laser beam. This article covers recommendations for using proper protective equipment, following proper procedures and taking emergency measures when operating a laser engraver.
