Noise
All systems emit during operation a noise level lower than 80dB(A),
Therefore no personal protective equipment against noise is needed.
Crushing
There is a crushing hazard during installation and operation due to:
• Product moving along the laser head.
• Products moving into and out of protective housing.
• Doors and maintenance openings of protective housings.
Especially prevent the risk of squeezing.
Laser Marking Process
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 or explosive
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 as part of the risk assessment.
Note: Install a fire detector near the laser to monitor the marking
process.
