Creation of a safe area for equipment use

The GLS 1500 welding unit for class 4 laser welding generates a radiation process in which operators must be protected from direct radiation and diffuse radiation within a radius of action of more than 100 m.
In order to isolate operators outside the manual welding area from this radiation, it is necessary to create a laser safety area that complies with the aforementioned standards.

Characteristics:
  • Area 4×3 meters.
  • Double sliding door 1+1 meters,
  • Safety locking system.
  • Opening and safety pushbutton panel.
  • Signaling beacon for access.
  • Closed-circuit video.
  • Interior lighting.
  • Access control from inside.
  • Safety cabinet, machine connection.
  • Turnkey product.
  • Installation and start-up included.

Closed standard conformation. Modular system adaptable to customer needs.
It may be necessary to incorporate a roof. Customer location will be studied.

Tables with fume extraction

With the laser system there is a danger of smoke inhalation in which the operator must be protected.
These fumes are more concentrated than in normal welding.

Fumes derived from the welding, cutting and cleaning process must be collected and filtered by a specific system for this purpose, being necessary autonomous systems in confined areas.
It is recommended that the fume aspiration system aspirate laterally or at the bottom. Do not face upward to prevent particles from entering the laser torch lens.

Issues to consider:

Royal Decree RD 486/2010

– The use of laser welding equipment must comply with the Royal Decree on the use of laser welding equipment.

– Within the framework of Law 31/1998 of November 8, 1998, on occupational risk prevention, this Royal Decree establishes…

…the minimum requirements for the protection of workers against risks to their health and safety arising or likely to arise from exposure to artificial optical radiation during their work.

– Risks from exposure to artificial optical radiation should be eliminated at source or reduced to the lowest possible level, taking into account technical progress and the availability of risk control measures.
originally

– The employer shall develop and implement an action plan to be integrated into the planning of preventive activities, which shall include technical and/or organizational measures to prevent exposure from exceeding these limit values.

– The employer shall ensure that workers who are exposed in the workplace to the risks arising from
of artificial optical radiation and/or their representatives receive the necessary information and training.

Standard EN 60825-1

– The GLS 1500-M model is class 4 and complies with the UNE EN 60825-1 standard currently in force.

– Class 4 is the highest prevention class in which direct radiation must be avoided and…

…scattered or reflected from the laser beam.

– Direct radiation causes damage to eyes, skin, as well as burning of materials. The known safety measures for MIG and TIG processes are not valid for the laser process. (eye protection masks/eye protection curtains, etc.)

– It is mandatory to wear laser goggles certified D LB6 0D8 to protect the eyes from non-visible laser radiation.

– It is mandatory to use a screen with DIN-3 grinding mode in addition to the goggles, to protect against UV radiation.
on the skin.

– The use of gloves to protect hands from laser radiation is mandatory.

– The use of clothing to protect the body and skin from laser radiation is mandatory.

Other considerations

– The range of the laser, NOT VISIBLE, is 250 meters.

– The laser radiation by rebound on parts to be welded in stainless steel or aluminum is of lower intensity, but combined with the…

…dispersion, range and invisibility, requires the creation of a safe space for the protection of the rest…
of the company’s employees.

– It is recommended with the purchase of the laser together with the minimum consumables required for its correct operation.

– The use of lasers for pickling solutions is not recommended due to high hazard and lack of compliance.
