SAFETY
2.3 Safety Precautions when Operating the Machine
In your Speedy 300 fiber, a closed safety system is integrated which immediately switches
off the power to the laser tube when the protection cover is opened. Consequently an
incomplete processing can occur if the cover is opened during operation. Therefore, first
press the "PAUSE" button, if you want to interrupt a process.
Please remember the following safety precautions when working with this machine:
A fire extinguisher must always be handy as the laser beam can ignite flammable
materials. Do not store any flammable materials inside the machine or in the immediate
vicinity of the machine. Particularly leftovers of produced materials have to be removed to
prevent fire hazard.
Unsupervised operation of the system is not permitted.
Because of their low absorption polished and pure metals like un-coated aluminum,
copper, silver and gold can show very weak interaction with the laser beam and lead to
strong reflections. Such materials must be handled with care, as a directed reflection could
harm the protection cover. The protection cover is damaged if the reflected radiation is
FOCUSSED in the plane of the protection cover. By accident, this effect is almost
impossible.
Adjustment of the beam path must be performed only by especially trained personnel. An
improper setting can lead to uncontrolled emission of the laser radiation.
Before processing materials the user must verify, whether harmful materials can be
generated and whether the filter equipment of the exhaust system is suitable for the
harmful materials. We emphasize that it is the responsibility of the user, to consider the
national and regional threshold values for dust, fogs and gases when selecting the filters
and the exhaust system. (The values for the maximum workplace concentration must not
be exceeded.)
Please refer to the manual of the exhaust system on how and in what intervals you need to
replace filters.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) must under no circumstances be processed with the laser.
Should you have further questions before starting work, please contact your dealer or
Trotec.
