DESIGNATED USE
The D-Series laser marking system is exclusively designated for fully
automated marking of packaging materials and products by laser radiation.
If the laser marking system is used for improper purposes, all liability claims
will be refused.
The technical specifications listed in “TECHNICAL REFERENCE” Part 4
must be observed and complied with at all times.
The manufacturer will not be liable for any material or personal damages
resulting from non-designated usage.
The laser marking system must only be operated by authorized and
specifically trained personnel who are familiar with and observe the
procedures within this manual.
It is strongly recommended to carry out a risk assessment regarding laser
printer integration according to EN ISO14121 and EN ISO11553. Potential
hazards resulting from laser material processing machines are reported in
EN ISO11553 including hazards from laser material processing (e.g. dusts,
emissions, fires or explosion) and other potential hazards.
Potential fire risks could result from examples as listed below. This list is not
considered to be complete. Local conditions must be considered as well.
• Printing on not specified material (e.g. easily inflammable materials)
• Invalid parameter settings (e.g. very low mark speed)
• Invalid parameter settings due to corrupted print data
• Printing constantly on the same product (e.g. no product movement
caused by various reasons)
• Inflammable gases or materials inside the working area.
In printing mode the laser beam is controlled by software which must be
considered into risk asessment.
