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.
Water Cooling
A factory fitted option is available to cool the laser head and controller with
factory water or water from a water chiller. Use only clean and oil free water.
Hoses with an inner diameter from 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) to 10mm may be
used. Hoses have to be fastened with hose clamps.
