Power Space tailor-made dust removal plan for you

Is it necessary for laser cutting equipment to install dust collection equipment?

September 16, 2022

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 industrial factories. The laser cutting industry has witnessed significant growth and technological advancements in recent years. As a key player in the manufacturing sector, laser cutting technology offers unparalleled precision, speed, and efficiency.

Advancements in Laser Technology 

Fiber lasers have gained popularity due to their high cutting speed, superior beam quality, and lower maintenance requirements. They are ideal for cutting a variety of materials, including metals, plastics, and ceramics. Ultrafast laser cutting technology offers even higher precision and less heat-affected zones. It is particularly useful in the electronics industry for cutting delicate components without causing thermal damage.

Energy Efficiency and Environmental friendliness Laser cutting technology is known for its energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. Compared to traditional cutting methods, lasers consume less energy and produce less waste, contributing to a greener manufacturing process.

Material Innovation The development of new materials that can be effectively cut by lasers is another trend in the industry. Researchers and manufacturers are continuously working on improving laser cutting capabilities for materials like high-strength alloys, composites, and exotic metals.

Laser Dust in Laser Cutting Technology

In our imagination, laser belongs to high-tech, and it seems to be "cutting with light, green and pollution-free". Many factories also think that everything will be fine with laser equipment, and equipment such as dust collectors are not considered. But the actual situation is not the case, because laser cutting is processing metal sheets, it will not only generate sparks, but also generate a certain amount of dust, and these dust have a lot of harm!

Laser cutting dust affects human health. Most of the dust produced by laser cutting are mixture dust or aerosols with extremely fine particles. If they are inhaled by workers for a long time without treatment, it may cause a variety of occupational diseases. For example, pneumoconiosis of discoloration which we feel horrible when we talk about, and other respiratory infections, etc., and also have certain damage to the eyes and skin.

Laser cutting dust pollute laser equipment. Laser cutters are extremely advanced in cutting technology, but they are also very fragile in face of dust pollution, especially the optical lenses inside the laser cutting head. If they are polluted by dust for a long time, it will easily lead to scrapped parts and even lens damage, which will seriously affect equipment property safety of production workshop and progress of production activities. Moreover, if the laser equipment introduced by the factory at a high cost is damaged only because of dust pollution, it is really not worth it.

Laser cutting smoke affects EIA results. We all know that the current environmental protection inspection has become more and more strict, and even some workshops have been administratively punished for not turning on the dust removal equipment. It is conceivable that if the dust removal equipment is not even equipped, the factory will face what kind of situation. Therefore, even from the perspective of environmental impact assessment, it is extremely necessary to configure dust removal equipment!

Therefore, in order to ensure the health of employees and the safe operation of laser equipment, and also to respond to the EIA, the laser cutting workshop really needs to be equipped with professional dust collector equipment. Like this laser cutting dust collector manufactured by Power Space Environmental Protection, is specially developed for laser operation scenarios.
