Preparation and safety inspection before starting work
Adequate preparation and full safety checks before commencing operation is the foundation for a smooth continuation of subsequent processes.
1. Personal protective equipment inspection and wearing
Operator must wear laser protective goggles that are compatible with the wavelength of the equipment's laser, safety shoes, cut resistant gloves, and appropriate hearing protection devices to meet safe operation minimum requirements.
2. Work environment inspection
The operator must check the work area of the equipment for cleanliness. Ensure that there are no tools, waste, or residual flammable items within reach. Check and confirm that the smoke exhaust and dust removal apparatus is properly connected, and has been powered on and is operating normally.
3. Equipment status confirmation
Check that the auxiliary gas (for example, oxygen, nitrogen, or compressed air) supply line is properly connected, with the pressure value set to meet the process parameters of the material in question, and check for leaks.Check laser focusing lens and cutting nozzle for cleanliness, contamination, and damages. Check equipment cooling system (e.g. water chiller) to ensure normal operation and temperature in range.

"As someone who runs a team that cuts 500+ sheet metal parts daily for automotive manufacturers, reliability is key. This laser has run 6-day work weeks for one whole year with no major issues, only routine maintenance that takes less than 30 minutes. The software interacts seamlessly with our CAD systems; we just upload a design into the system, set the in-platen parameters and it's cutting in a matter of minutes. We have reduced our material waste."
"We used to rely on third parties to do all our sheet metal cutting—we waited 3-5 days for parts, experienced delays and paid highly markup prices. Now that we have the laser, we can cut parts in house on our deadlines. Most recently we needed to do an emergency HVAC repair, we needed a custom duct fitting by 2PM — we designed it at 10AM, cut it by 11AM and finished the job on time. The machine is easy to learn; my team of 5 (without any experience) learned how to use the machine in one day with the training videos they include. We saved more than $12,000 in outsourcing costs in just 8 months; it was the best investment we have made in our operations."
