You can get eye damage and burns from normal welding 🤣
I have a feeling milk wont heal this loo
Not that Much
@@bestway6032Uh yeah you can go completely blind by staring at a welding arc in person for a good amount of time.
@@brian6391my eyes were red for almost a week and couldn’t open them under sunlight or even in the dark because of stick welding
@@Deutz-fahr-101 Yes some people don't seem to understand that's radiation just like the sun. It doesn't matter how tough you are it will cook your flesh so stay wrapped up in approved material.
He sounds like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
If your employer buys a lazer welder ask for a retina mapping be done.
Providing a base map can be important in proving eye injury.
It protects the employer by exposing any existing damage.
L a s e r
Not lazer.
....so basically everything regular mig and tig have
Explain how to become permanently, blinded by mig or tig from a single incident?
@@samroesch... uh.....um, not wearing eye pro/mask with tinted glass and safety sleeves? And before you open your mouth with infinite wisdom😫, the only difference is that one results in blindness over time. Which again, is why there are masks with tinted glass.
@@corymollak2093you tryna prove him wrong but instead proved his point lmao😂 Mig or tig can cause temporary blindness sure. But laser on the other hand, one accidental and your eyes is gone. So... yeah they're completely different, unless if putting the hot half melted welding rod into your eyes is common/easy😂
@cloudwalker679 I didn't say anything about temporary blindness. I said that one causes instant and permanent blindness.(laser)..... The other (mig and tig) causing blindness over time. Kind of like staring at the sunset Slowly burning a hole. The guy in the video is talking about permanent blindness from laser in which you can wear eyepro Preventing this
@@corymollak2093 The point here is accidents happen, people accidentally catch an arc walking by on the shop floor, or the fitter doesn’t realize the welder is about to strike an arc. The consequences are fairly minor for a one off. Not the case with laser, one accident is permanent blindness.
Since eyes are one of the most valuable things ever, I would invest in a VR headset if I was doing this and see things through cameras instead of direct exposure.
That’s actually a genius idea it would take some camera magic to get the perspective right so you’re off on depth perception but not a bad idea
@@turkeyboyjh1 Actually, our brain has the capacity to adjust to such situations, much like when you attempt to shave while using a mirror - it may be challenging initially, but once your brain acclimates to the process, it will rarely pose a problem in the future. Naturally, extended periods of this might result in fatigue, yet periodic breaks like with VR/AR prove to be an efficient solution. Moreover, using a good quality stereo camera equipped with quality lenses and reliable software could reduce any discrepancies to the barest minimum.
Regrettably, I lack such resources; hence I'm unable to experiment and devise a solution that **guarantees** safety and comfort.
@@turkeyboyjh1 getting the perspective right is easy. you just need a 45 degree mirror, preferably solid polished aluminum, in front of each eye with a display above the mirror and a camera below the mirror.
a practical, non dystopian use of augmented reality, nice
@@cargoshort honestly first real use case for me personally aswell lol
The laser welding I’ve seen uses the closed cell with video cameras and door interlocks. No fooling around with it, super dangerous.
Cheers to all the fellow Tig Welder Veterans out there!!!!
Not a veteran by any means but I’ve been doing it for the past couple years🍻
John Connor: So this other guy: he's a Terminator like you, right?
The Terminator: Not like me. A T-1000, advanced prototype.
John Connor: You mean more advanced than you are?
The Terminator: Yes. A mimetic polyalloy.
John Connor: What the hell does that mean?
The Terminator: Liquid metal.
Safety is important, its much easier to hurt your eyes when messing with lasers. Every welder knows not to look at the arc but lasers are not as forgiving.
so looking at the laser is damage, not only looking into it?
@particleconfig.8935 If you shoot a laser pointer at the ground and see a dot, that light is the laser bouncing from the ground and hitting your eyes. So if the laser is powerful enough even a small reflection going into your eyes can damage.
I wonder what happens if we laser a piece of uranium, like some nextlevel shit?@@RandomGuy0987
ive actually been in one of these, turns out its very common for laser welding chambers to set on fire!
Eye damage mainly happens if you sit there welding and don't realize ur welding ive looked at an ark before and realized very quickly that i should stop and haven't noticed anything however id say always make a check safety is always important i was lucky
So, be responsible. Seems like a good trade off not to have slag burning you or your things. But i only took one basic welding semester 20 years ago
The real danger of laser welding is the price of the shit. Nonetheless anyone can use a laser welder just like anyone can use an already set up mig welder but you still gotta do hard years before you even remotely master the fabrication side of it
How about wearing safety goggles and making sure that the laser doesn't hit your eyes, would it be safe looking at the area being welded with those safety goggles on or it would still cause retina damage.
very interesting.
I was welding aluminium once, but the laser was not focused so it struggled to weld. Just as it started making a welding pool the laser reflected in different directions and got my finger for a split second. It burnt like hell, but the burning feeling did not last as long as when you accidentally touched a area where you welded.
The first time I tried welding I burnt a hole and the toolbox that came with the machine was about a meter away behind it and that also started burning.
did you die or try it out another time?
easy (be it diffuse, diffracted)) reflection of the laser on the metal weld surface
Pretty sure any welding torch if it hits you could burn you.
Try arc, tig or mig welding without goggles and see what happens to your eyes.
Not a very strong or well thought through argument
It's pretty concerning to observe handheld lasers on the market that essentially resemble industrial lasers without enclosures. In the worst-case scenario, even a single laser pulse can cause serious eye damage when used in pulsed mode. The responsibility for ensuring the safety of the Class 4 handheld laser and using it securely lies entirely with the customer. This involves not only eye safety but also the potential hazards of fire, explosions, and cancer caused by fine particulates.
While efforts can be made to minimize risks with fume extraction and backscatter sensors, I haven't come across any of these handheld tools being secured into Class 1 lasers (is it even possible without enclosures?). In my country, this is a significant legal matter, requiring proof that they are used in accordance with laser safety and work safety regulations.
Just before this short I saw one with two guys with no eye protection in an auto factory😂 kinda ironic
Sounds just like regular welding
Get to da choppar!
I’m a laser operator this guy doesn’t know anything about lasers have you ever heard of Mazak,Bystonic,Trump fiber optic laser cutting state of the art
The video was taken out of context. You don't have an hour long video talking about the different types of lasers. I would not look at this video and assume the other person's life or academic experience. Firstly, when practicing safety you take what is in this video as standard. The stuff you're talking about I know is newer, especially anything to do with fiber optics. Are you aware that in corporate America that they are sometimes afraid of using innovative technology because it will (in their mind) hurt their bottom line? I am not interested in arguing or putting you, I just would like you to give this guy some empathy. He could be working for a greedy, shitty company that uses old tech.
Oh... So like normal welding 😂
He could act as old kylo ren… looks like him
اس کی قیمت کیا ہے اور کہا سے ملے گی
He is afraid of losing his high payed job as a Tig welder😢😢😢😢😢😅😅😅😅
Show me a welder who has never accidentally looked at an arc and I will show you the only one in the shop if any without eye damage when those Chinese laser welders become mainstream.
So kind of like Hawaii?
So it’s all the same dangers as traditional welding?
From the video, it is that and worst.
that actually means sausage in Dutch@@thetinaexperience7000
Leazer cutting machine radiation are dangers for human body. Yes or no. Please tell me.
as long as the lazer does not hir you directly, it wont hurt.
yez
Id expect welders arent pointing their lasers at eachothers skin and eyes, like almost every other dangerous tool...?
Eye damage mainly happens if you sit there welding and don't realize ur welding ive looked at an ark before and realized very quickly that i should stop and haven't noticed anything however id say always make a check safety is always important i was lucky
