Does laser cutting not need to install dust collection equipment? You won’t think so after reading this article

In recent years, the development of laser cutting technology can be said to be quite rapid. Many sheet metal processing workshops have begun to introduce laser cutting equipment in order to speed up their work efficiency and to develop in the direction of modern industrialized factories!

In our imagination, laser is a high-tech technology, which seems to be "cut when light is reached, green and pollution-free." Many factories also think that with laser equipment, everything will be fine. Equipment such as smoke and dust collectors is not considered.  But the actual situation is not the case. Because laser cutter is processing metal plates, it will not only generate sparks, but also produce a certain amount of smoke and dust, and these smoke and dust have a lot of harm!

1. Laser cutting smoke and dust affect human’s health

Most of the smoke and dust produced by laser cutting are mixtures of very fine particles or aerosols. If they are not treated, and inhaled by workers for a long time, they may cause a variety of occupational diseases. For example, the terrible pneumoconiosis and other respiratory infections. And the smoke and dust which also damage the eyes and skin.

2. Laser cutting smoke and dust pollutes laser equipment

The laser cutter is extremely advanced in cutting technology, but it is also very fragile when faced with smoke and dust pollution, especially the optical lens inside the laser cutting head. If it is polluted by smoke and dust for a long time, it will easily lead to parts be scrapped and even lens damage, which will seriously affect The equipment safety of the production workshop and the progress of production activities. Moreover, if the laser equipment introduced by the factory at a high price is damaged only by smoke and dust pollution, it is really not cost-effective!

3. Laser cutting smoke and dust affect the EIA results

We all know that the current environmental protection inspections have become more and more stringent. There have even been cases in which some workshops have been subject to administrative penalties for failing to turn on the dust collection equipment. It is conceivable that if even the dust collection equipment is not equipped, the factory will face what kind of situation. Therefore, even from the perspective of EIA alone, it is extremely necessary to configure dust collection equipment!

Therefore, in order to protect the health of employees and the safe operation of laser equipment, as well as to respond to the environmental inpection assessment, the laser cutting workshop really needs to be equipped with professional dust collection equipment! This laser cutting dust collector manufactured by Power Space Environmental Protection is specially developed for laser operation applications.

This kind of laser cutting dust collector has a compact structure, covers a small area, and is convenient for factory installation, also can effectively solve the problem of smoke and dust pollution in the laser cutting process.
