The cell for the LaserHybrid welding process must meet the following
requirements:
-
sealed off so as to be lightproof vis-à-vis adjoining rooms
-
screened with min. 1 mm thick steel sheet and/or approved laser filter
glass to prevent any UV or laser radiation escaping
-
both the laser welding process and the arc welding process must stop
automatically as soon as the cell is opened.
The power source used must be placed on an even, firm floor in such a way
that it stands firmly. A power source that topples over can easily kill
someone!
Special regulations apply to rooms at risk from fire and/or explosion.
Observe all relevant national and international regulations.
By means of internal instructions and checks, ensure that the workplace and
the area around it are always kept clean and tidy.
Only operate the LaserHybrid welding head if all its protective features are
fully functional.
Before starting up the LaserHybrid welding head, ensure that nobody can be
endangered by your doing so.
At least once a week, check the LaserHybrid welding head for any damage
that may be visible from the outside, and check that the safety features all
function correctly.
The owner/operator is obliged to have the LaserHybrid welding head
checked for proper condition by a trained electrician after any alterations,
installations of additional components, modifications, repairs, care and
maintenance, and in any case at least every twelve months.
