  • Page 14: Laser Radiation

    Laser Radiation Laser radiation can pose a risk to eyes and skin. The danger is not only posed by direct laser radiation, but also by scattered radiation and reflections from the work piece or the packaging machine. The degree of injury depends on the duration of the effect, the power and the wavelength of the laser.

  • Page 15: Aiming Beam / Pilot Laser

    Class 4 The accessible laser radiation may be visible or invisible. Direct and diffuse radiation is extremely harmful to eyes and skin and can pose a fire risk if projected onto combustible materials. The F-Series laser marking systems, taken by themselves, are Class 4 and must not be used until suitable, interlocked guarding is fitted to achieve a Class 1 laser installation that physically prevents access to the...
