1. Install a dust suction device
Adding a dust suction device, such as a vacuum cleaner or a dust hood, to the aluminum foil cutting machine can effectively absorb the aluminum chips generated during the cutting process. This device can usually absorb 70%-80% of the aluminum chips, significantly reducing the splash of aluminum chips.
2. Install a protective cover
Installing a transparent or opaque protective cover on the cutting machine table or cutting area can effectively prevent aluminum chips from splashing onto the operator or the work area. The protective cover can not only reduce the splash of aluminum chips, but also collect the aluminum chips in a centralized manner for subsequent cleaning.
3. Choose the right cutting tool
Using ultra-thin saw blades or special aluminum alloy cutting blades can reduce the amount of aluminum chips generated during the cutting process. The sawing kerf of ultra-thin saw blades is narrower, thereby reducing the generation of aluminum chips.
4. Optimize cutting parameters
Adjust the cutting speed: According to the thickness and hardness of the aluminum foil, adjust the cutting speed to avoid aluminum chips splashing due to too fast or too slow cutting speed.
Control cutting force: Avoid using excessive cutting force to reduce the splash of aluminum chips.
5. Use cooling lubrication
Using lubricants (such as cutting fluid) or cooling systems during the cutting process can reduce the friction between the blade and the aluminum foil, reduce the cutting temperature, and thus reduce the generation of aluminum chips.
6. Set up aluminum chip blocking devices
Some new cutting equipment is equipped with aluminum chip blocking devices, such as fiber blocking doors or air nozzles, which can effectively block aluminum chips from splashing. These devices collect aluminum chips in a centralized manner through physical blocking or air flow guidance.
7. Clean and maintain equipment regularly
Clean the cutting equipment and work area regularly to avoid aluminum chips from accumulating.
Check whether the protective devices of the equipment (such as protective covers, vacuum cleaners) are intact and ensure that they are working properly.
8. Wear personal protective equipment
Operators should wear safety glasses, gloves and dust masks during the cutting process to protect themselves from aluminum chips and dust.
