Laser Cutting Induction - Ruby

IMPORTANT:

We have now switched to the software Ruby to send jobs to the laser cutters. Even if you have used the laser cutters before, you still need to watch the below video before you can use the machines.

Please watch the below video and then complete the Laser Cutters Induction Form underneath.

Health and Safety

Fire - The material being cut or engraved can catch fire - make sure the LEV extraction is switched on before using to remove fumes and smoke. 
Noise - If multiple lasers are being used at once it can be quite loud in the room - ear plugs are available in the area.
Burns - Materials can get hot after being cut or engraved - allow extra time for cooling before taking your material from the laser cutter.
Entrapment - Laser head and platforms move about, causing potential for hands/hair/clothes/jewellery to get caught in the machine - the laser will stop operating if the lid is open. Laser cutters are equipped with emergency stop buttons that are easily accessible.

Slips and Trips - Please keep the area clean and tidy, especially if you drop material on the floor as this causes a slip hazard.

Laser Cutter Booking

Please fill in the Laser Cutter Induction Quiz below. Once you have successfully completed the quiz, you will then be added to the Connect 2 booking system and can book and use the machines.
