HEALTH AND SAFETY
General
The F-Series laser marking systems are designed and built in
accordance with international standards and other technical
specifications, which are to be observed. The equipment conforms to
current technology and approved safety requirements.
Domino F-Series laser marking systems are produced by Domino
Group company; Domino Laser GmbH Germany. For Sales and
support, contact Domino.
This safety standard, however, can only be achieved if all intended and
required measures have been taken and are constantly observed. It is
part of the equipment operator’s duties to plan these measures and
check their continuing implementation.
The F-Series laser marking systems have been developed and
designed for fully automated marking of packaging materials and
products by use of laser radiation.
The user must ensure that:
• The laser system is only made ready for use after it has been
installed and guarded to Class 1 laser safety standards (EN60825)
• The equipment is only to be used for its intended purpose
• The equipment is only operated in a good, serviceable condition,
and that all safety installations are regularly checked for their
serviceability
• Personal protective goggles for maintenance and repair personnel
are required and made available
• Only suitable and approved tools and equipment are used
• The product manual is complete and in a legible condition at the
equipment location at all times
• The valid rules and laws regarding accident prevention are available
and observed
• Only sufficiently qualified and authorised personnel shall operate,
maintain, and repair the laser marking system
11
• These personnel are regularly instructed in all matters concerning
appropriate labour safety and environmental protection, and that
they are familiar with the product manual, particularly the safety
instructions contained therein
• Any safety and warning signs on the laser marking system must not
be removed and must remain in a readable condition.
Specific Dangers
Electrical Energy
In the F-Series laser marking system, the maximum operating voltage is
the connected mains voltage, which can pose a hazard to health. The
mains voltage to be maintained is shown on the name plate.
Work on live components must only be performed by authorised
personnel.
In the case of a defective power supply, operation of the laser marking
system is to be stopped immediately and is only to be repaired by
authorised personnel.
Keep the control unit closed at all times. Only expressly authorised
personnel are permitted to open the control unit.
12
Laser Radiation
Laser radiation can pose a risk to eyes and skin. The danger is not only
posed by direct laser radiation, but also by scattered radiation and
reflections from the work piece or the packaging machine. The degree
of injury depends on the duration of the effect, the power and the
wavelength of the laser.
Lasers and their installations are classified into seven laser protection
classes, depending on their potential danger. Class 1 is the safest and
Class 4 is potentially the most harmful. These classes are defined in
detail in EN60825 Part 1 and are summarised below:
Class 1 The accessible laser radiation may be visible or invisible
and is harmless.
Class 1M The accessible laser radiation may be visible or invisible
and is harmless, provided additional optical instruments
are not used.
Class 2 The accessible laser radiation is visible and is harmless
for accidental exposure to eyes for periods of less than
0.25 seconds.
Class 2M The accessible laser radiation is visible and is harmless
for accidental exposure to eyes for periods of less than
0.25 seconds, provided additional optical instruments
are not used.
Class 3R The accessible laser radiation may be visible or invisible.
It is potentially harmful to eyes.
Class 3B The accessible laser radiation may be visible or invisible.
Direct radiation is harmful to the eyes and skin although
diffuse radiation (reflected from a matt surface) is
harmless.
13
Class 4
The accessible laser radiation may be visible or invisible.
Direct and diffuse radiation is extremely harmful to eyes
and skin and can pose a fire risk if projected onto
combustible materials.
The F-Series laser marking systems, taken by
themselves, are Class 4 and must not be used until
suitable, interlocked guarding is fitted to achieve a Class
1 laser installation that physically prevents access to the
laser radiation or automatically disables the laser when
access is required to the marking area (for cleaning or
maintenance, etc.).
Aiming Beam / Pilot Laser
The system contains an aiming beam with a wavelength of 630nm to
670nm.
This laser is a class 1 laser.
Harmful Dust and Vapours
When radiating materials by means of a laser, harmful dust and vapours
can be produced. The user is responsible for appropriate measures,
e.g. an exhaust system, to reduce such harmful dust and vapours to a
level that complies with the allowed maximum concentration of
pollutants at the work place.
Touching the Lens
Fused silica lenses are used in the F-Series laser system.
Lenses must not be touched.
If the lens has been soiled, it must be thoroughly cleaned before any
operation.
14
Scan Head Mirrors
Never touch the mirrors of the scan head.
The mirrors are inside the scan head and there is a small risk of touching
them when cleaning the lens.
The mirrors for the i-Tech 15 scan head are made of Beryllium.
If the mirrors have been touched accidentally, wash hands thoroughly
with water and soap.
Fumes and dust from Beryllium metal can be hazardous if inhaled.
Noise
All systems emit during operation a noise level lower than 80dB(A). No
personal protective equipment against noise is needed.
Crushing
There is a crushing hazard during installation and operation due to:
• Product moving along the laser head.
• Products moving into and out of protective housing.
• Doors and maintenance openings of protective housings.
15
Laser Marking Process
Potential fire risks could result from examples as listed below. This list
is not considered to be complete. Local conditions must be considered
as well.
• Printing on not specified material (e.g. easily inflammable or
explosive materials).
• Invalid parameter settings (e.g. very low mark speed).
• Invalid parameter settings due to corrupted print data.
• Printing constantly on the same product (e.g. no product movement
caused by various reasons).
• Inflammable gases or materials inside the working area.
• In printing mode the laser beam is controlled by software which
must be considered as part of the risk assessment.
• Install a fire detector near the laser to monitor the marking process.

Guarding
Substrate
Laser Beam Path
Access Guard
Laser Head
Lens
The following type of guarding, using the recommended materials and
construction techniques, is required to achieve a safe installation.
WARNING: Never install a laser in such a way that the lens
points to a door or in the direction of an
operator.
When designing a housing for a fibre laser, always use overlaps where
possible to trap the laser light inside the housing, especially for mark on
the fly applications where a product inlet and outlet to the housing are
needed
Access Guards
Access guards are required to prevent direct human access to the laser
beam. In practice, this requires full guarding of the area between, and
including, the laser output lens and the area to be marked on the
substrate.
Note: Guarding is required behind the substrate to prevent access to
the laser beam when the substrate is removed, or following
accidental burn through of the substrate.

Beam Stop
Visor guards are required to prevent the escape of scattered radiation.
Often the access guarding can be designed to perform this function
without the need of an extra guard.
WARNING: Visor guards have to be installed at a
minimum distance of four times the focus
distance to the laser beam.
Beam Stop Guard
A beam stop guard is required for applications where guarding material
is fitted within 100mm of the laser lens focal plane. The beam stop is to
prevent burn through of the guard should the laser be repeatedly
operated without the substrate in position. The beam stop must be
capable of absorbing the full output power of the laser for a period of
eight hours and be large enough to cover the complete laser marking
field area.
