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.
• Install a fire detector near the laser to monitor the marking process.
