Laser Safety and Progress

PhotonSafe Laser Protection from Lasermach

Technology continues to advance and industrial lasers are being used in more and more areas, especially handheld laser welding machines and handheld laser cleaning machines. People working in the direct vicinity of these machines must be protected. Laser protection is radiation protection. In order not to expose your employees to the risk of increased radiation exposure, a conscientious approach to occupational safety in this area is indispensable.

We are looking forward to work with you to build a safer laser world.

Laser safety

Laser welders are an amazing innovation in fabrication, but they do come with additional safety considerations compared to arc welding. Laser welders utilize fiber laser at near Infra-red (1060~1080 nm) wavelength, which can be hazardous to the eyes. Proper laser eye protection is essential for safe operation. Most fiber lasers emit high powered “near infrared” light, which our eyes absorb and process like visible light, even though we cannot see it. Unprotected eyes are susceptible to damage from this light. In addition to eye hazards, other potential dangers include fire, electrical risks, and asphyxiation.

Laser welders produce minimal to non-existent spatter, reducing the likelihood of burns and fires. They also create a smaller heat affected zone, lowering the risk of metal fume compared to arc welding processes like MIG, TIG, or stick welding. However, the reflected rays from a laser welder can still be intense enough to ignite fires.

UV production is significantly lower with a laser welder, with the main source being the white hot metal being welded. Nevertheless, there is a risk of heat burns from a reflected ray, especially when working with aluminum or other reflective metals. It is highly advisable to wear gloves. In close range, a direct reflection can cause instantaneous burns on the skin, inflicting pain similar to that from arc welding burns.

Laser radiation of infrared fibre lasers, Yag Lasers, Disk lasers and diode lasers can cause serious and lasting damage to the human eye – so a handheld laser is not a toy.

But simple precautions and our inherent safety design make this a safe solution that meets the requirements of globally active customers and their safety organizations.

Lasermach PhotonWeld© A-Pro Series laser welders are a Class 4 laser system, requiring:

  • Personal protection (laser safety eye-wear) 

  • Safety curtains to block operating area from unprotected by-passers

  • Laser safety officer (1 day training) 

Lasermach PhotonSafe© Protection Series offers superior laser safety:

  • CE marking and a true CE design based on an in-depth risk analysis following Machinery Directive EC2006/42/EG and the only valid European Laser safety norm for laser welding equipment: EN 60825-1; 60825-4 - Safety of laser products. .

  • Components with safety performance level D, including Safety PLC instead of custom control board

  • Interface for connection of external safety devices (E-Stop, interlock and laser warning light)

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

POTENTIAL HAZARDS of Laser Welding

Laser safety: Laser protection class 4 applies to all our manual laser welding equipment when in operation.

Different measures are therefore required on the customer side to ensure laser safety, such as:

- the appropriate training of employees,

- wearing special Personal protective equipment (PPE) 

- setting up a separate laser safety area
