The technology could also be used for additive manufacturing in the future
BOFA International has developed an innovation in fume extraction to make the exchange of filters in metal additive manufacturing processes safer, faster and better for productivity
The platform features a host of functionality enhancements and innovations, including extended onboard data logs and real-time system condition visualisation
The LAS 800 removes large amounts of the finest dusts and gases occurring during laser processing of metals, plastics, and other non-metallic materials
Welding and Laser Welding fumes are more dangerous than many people think. Exposure to fumes from these processes is a common source of work-related illness.
Hexavalent chromium is one of those dangerous heavy metals that exist in welding fumes. If you or your employees are exposed to welding fumes, understanding the risks of exposure to hexavalent chromium and other similar heavy metals is absolutely paramount.
