CHAPTER 1:
DESCRIPTION OF THE EQUIPMENT
Megalight™ is a Nd:YAG/passively Q-switched laser with wavelength equal to 1064nm,
maximum power equal to 6W (in continuous operation) and operating frequency equal to
25KHz, pumped by a laser diode at 808 nm and air-cooled. The pumped source is remote
controlled in relation to the laser head (Resonator) and is situated inside the rack. Coupling
between the pump diode and laser head is cone via Optical Fibre.
Intended Use
The device is designed and built for the application of engraving of non-flammable
metal and plastic materials. If the intended use of the source is changed, for example for
applications other than material processing, collateral risks may arise associated with the
interaction of laser radiation with the material.
Use contraindications
Do not subject materials other than those the device was designed for to Laser radiation.
The laser possesses intensity sufficient for igniting flammable material, so do not direct the
laser beam on flammable material. The interaction of the laser beam with the material
causes the formation of fumes and vapours, which may be harmful or toxic. It is advisable to
use appropriate suction devices to eliminate fumes and filter fumes before releasing
them into the air.
Use warnings
Megalight™ is a Laser device able to emit class 2M visible radiation (aiming red beam) and
a Class IV main invisible radiation (laser beam).
Visible lasers which are not able to damage the eye for momentary viewing but may represent
a danger if viewed through a magnifying class belonging the class 2M.
Class IV includes lasers which can produce risks, not only from direct or reflected radiation, but
also from scattered radiation! The main radiation is included in Class IV. The free beam
produced by these laser sources may represent a significant risk for the eyes even at a
substantial distance!
The device is intended for use by trained and informed personnel only within an industrial
plant!
The installer must put into effect all measures aimed at containing the radiation to make sure
that it is terminated at the end of its useful path. In addition, the final User (Operator) must be
informed of the risks from exposure to Laser radiation and must wear specific I.P.D. (individual
protection devices) including goggles that protect against radiation and are certified as such.
