Infra-red microscope filter
Description
This filter is a 1.064 nm optical glass that is opaque to LASER radiation. It appears light grey and transparent to
our eyes. It is inside the microscope.
Purpose
This filter protects the operator's eyes from leaks of LASER radiation along the optical path of the microscope.
Operation
Since it is opaque at the wavelength of 1.064 nm, it prevents the passage of LASER radiation.
Welding chamber infra-red filter
Description
This filter is a 1.064 nm optical glass that is opaque to LASER radiation. It appears transparent light green to our
eyes in compliance with the BS EN 207 and BS EN 208 Standards classified as OD6 for protection 800-1090 DIR
LB6. It constitutes the inspection window of the welding chamber and can be replaced if broken.
Purpose
This filter protects the operator's eyes from the LASER radiation during normal operation of the equipment and
allows the manufactured products to be inspected in complete safety.
Operation
Since it is opaque at the wavelength of 1.064 nm, it prevents the passage of LASER radiation.
Emergency button
Description
The emergency button is a red mushroom-shaped switch. It is positioned in a point of the equipment that is
easy to access by the user.
Purpose
It stops the equipment immediately and must be used in the event of danger for the operator or equipment.
Operation
It removes the power supply to all electric/electronic parts of the equipment, switching it off immediately.
Enabling key/PIN
Description
It is an enabling switch with key or, alternatively, an electronic PIN.
Purpose
To prevent operation of the equipment by unauthorised personnel.
Operation
Once the key has been turned or the PIN entered, the equipment starts, loading the internal circuits and enabling
LASER emission.
Hazardous areas and residual risks
Hazardous Area is defined as any area within or near the equipment where a person is exposed to injury or health damage. There are some
residual risks to the operator during certain equipment procedures. These risks can be eliminated by following the basic rules of work and behaviour
or, more specifically, the procedures in this manual, adopting the personal protection equipment as indicated.
Only trained personnel who have taken note of the safety instructions in this manual should install the equipment.
General rules
Before proceeding with the normal equipment use, we recommend you check that it is in good working order and check that its
parts are not defective or worn. If necessary, carry out all necessary maintenance operations.
•
Pay attention to the risk of electric shock due to direct and indirect contact due to unexpected electrical failure.
•
Do not subject the equipment to violent impacts.
•
Do not expose the equipment to fire, welding sparks or extreme temperatures.
•
Do not allow the equipment to come into contact with corrosive substances.
•
Do not clean the equipment with water jets.
Before all use of the equipment
For correct use of the equipment, keep the following indications in mind:
•
Do not place objects in the equipment slits.
•
Always stop the equipment after each work session using the red key present on the display. Switch it off using the master switch only
when it has stopped.
•
Perform the maintenance listed in the appropriate chapter.
•
If the LASER outlet nozzle is dirty, clean using a dry or slightly dampened cloth. If it is very dirty, use a neutral detergent such as alcohol.
Never use thinners, petrol, etc. since they could discolour or alter the plastic parts. If the protective glass slide is damaged or excessively
saturated with metal, replace it with a new one.
•
Operate very delicately on the touch-screen buttons with the fingers. The use of metal or plastic tips can damage the devices. Press
the buttons one at a time; if multiple buttons are pressed simultaneously, the equipment may not respond properly or may even be
damaged.
Transportation precautions
•
During transport ensure that the equipment is properly supported at the lifting point.
•
Do not stand directly in the path of applied force and do not place personnel where loads are not suitably supported by mechanical
devices.
