Is Handheld Laser Welding Safe? A Detailed Overview of Safety Measures
Is Laser Welding Safe?
Yes, as long as all necessary safety protocols are followed. FANTECH laser welding machines comply with strict safety standards, including EN 60825, which governs health protection when working with laser devices. Safety is ensured by multiple layers of protective features, such as:
- Automatic laser shut-off when the welding head is removed from the material.
- Operation indicators using LED lights to signal device activity.
- Securing access to the work area, for example through lockable doors or light barriers that automatically deactivate the laser if breached.
What Safety Measures Should Be Followed?
Eye Protection
Wearing protective glasses or welding helmets with special lenses compliant with EN 207 is essential. These equipment protect the eyes from both laser radiation and reflection. FANTECH supplies each welder with a helmet equipped with a certified self-darkening module, ensuring comfort and safety during welding.
Work Area
To enhance safety, FANTECH offers customized laser welding workstations protecting both operators and other workers. The workstations include safety locks, area monitoring and automatic laser shutdown in case of an unexpected area intrusion.
Compliance with Legislation
In the Czech Republic, it is necessary to comply with Government Regulation No. 291/2015 Coll., which governs health protection from non-ionizing radiation. This includes mandatory worker training, use of protective equipment, and proper labeling of laser workspaces.
