Fiber Laser Marker MX-Z2000H-V1 series User’s Manual (Z416)
Although JIS C6802-compliant safety measures are incorporated in this product, the safety measures can be effective only when the
user of the product understands the functions of these measures.Accordingly, please keep in mind that JIS C6802-compliant
products are products in which the safety measures specified by JIS C6802 are incorporated, and that the products, on their own, are
not necessarily safe.
This product is categorized as class 4 based on the JIS C6802 classification.The product incorporates the function of the safety
measures based on JIS C6802 for the protective casing of the laser oscillator part, cover interlock, remote interlock (external
interlock), key control, laser emission display, opening label, classification label, warning label, radiant output information label, and
optical path cut-off (internal shutter).
Users of the product must use these functions to apply the safety measures.
(1) Assignment of the laser safety manager
A laser safety manager is "a person who has the sufficient knowledge required to evaluate the danger of laser and to ensure
safety and who is responsible for the laser management," and is selected based on the level of knowledge and experience in
handling laser devices and prevention of interference due to laser emission. Such a person must conduct tasks equivalent to
those of a laser device manager based on the "Measures to prevent interference caused by laser beams" issued by the Ministry
of Health, Labour and Welfare (March 25, 2005).
(2) Setting and management of the laser controlled area
Separate the area from other areas and place a sign to clearly indicate that the area is a laser controlled area. Ensure that only
authorized personnel are allowed to enter the area.
Do not allow any hazardous materials such as explosives and flammables to be brought into the controlled area.
(3) Warning displays and signs
•Post signs of danger and hazard of a laser beam and its handling precautions in locations where the signs are easily seen.
•Post the name of the laser safety manager.
(4) Use of remote interlock
When using this product, construct an interlock system and surround the laser emission area with protection in order to prevent
radiation exposure due to reflections from the object to be marked or the surrounding area. Also, install the controller in a location
not being exposed to laser beams.
"Fiber Laser Marker MX-Z2000H-V1 series Setup Manual" (Z415)
(5) Management of the keys to operate the laser devices
While a laser device is not in use, be sure to remove the system key and pass it to the safety manager for safekeeping in order to
keep the laser from being operated by unauthorized personnel or without permission.
(6) Setting and verification of the beam path position
Setting the beam path position lower than the eye level of a seated person or higher than the eye level of a standing person can
prevent laser beams from getting in the eye accidentally.
(7) Handling of the end terminal
Take into consideration when no work exists and terminate the laser radiation range with a reflecting diffuser or absorber with
appropriate reflectance and heat resistance.
(8) Prevention of specular reflection
Do not use a specular reflector at the terminal.
(9) Cut-off and attenuation of beam
Be sure to install a protective enclosure around the laser radiation range and scattered beams in order to prevent radiation
exposure due to unexpected reflection from the printed object and surrounding objects.
Scattered beams may exceed class 1 level. Take measures to prevent laser exceeding class 1 level from leaking through the
gaps in the protective casing joints.
(10)Inspection and maintenance of protective gear (safety glasses, protective wear, flame-resistant materials)
•Wearing laser safety glasses for eye protection in the laser controlled area must be mandatory.
Use laser safety glasses that covers wavelength range of 1062 nm.
Do not look at a direct or reflected laser beam even with safety glasses on.
Safety glasses are for protecting eyes from scattered beams, not for protecting eyes from direct or reflected beams.
•Laser beam irradiation to the skin may cause burns and irradiation to clothing may cause it to burn.
Wear flame-retardant clothing with as little skin exposure as possible.
(11)Safety training/practice
(12)Occupational health (Medical examinations (anterior part of the eye and ocular fundus))
(13)Other measures to prevent any interference due to laser radiation (system protective casing, safety inspections, etc.)
Caution -- use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.
