CNC machine metal processing fluid, as an indispensable part of modern industry, plays an important role in the metal processing process of lubrication, cooling, corrosion protection and so on. However, these processing fluids are not completely harmless, and the chemicals they contain and the pollutants produced during use may pose a threat to the health of workers.
One of the main hazards of CNC machine metalworking fluids is irritation and damage to the skin. Due to the processing liquid contains a variety of chemicals, such as sulfide, chloride, etc., these substances in contact with the skin, may lead to skin redness, itching, and even cause dermatitis, eczema and other skin diseases. In addition, metalworking fluids can also contain tiny metal particles and cutting debris, which can further increase the risk of skin damage when they come into contact with the skin.
Long-term exposure to CNC machine metal processing fluids may also cause damage to the respiratory system of workers. The processing liquid will produce oil mist during use, which contains a large number of small particles and harmful gases, which may cause respiratory inflammation, cough, asthma and other symptoms after being inhaled by workers. Long-term exposure to this environment may also increase the risk of chronic respiratory diseases such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema.
What is more serious is that some components in the metal processing fluid of CNC machines may also be carcinogenic. These substances, after prolonged contact with the skin or respiratory system, may induce genetic mutations that increase the risk of developing malignant tumors. Although the specific carcinogenic mechanism is not fully understood, a number of studies have shown that certain additives and pollutants in metal processing fluids are indeed associated with the development of cancer.
In order to effectively prevent the harm caused by CNC machine metal processing fluid, we can start from the following aspects. First of all, workers should strictly abide by the operating procedures, wear protective equipment, such as gloves, masks, goggles, etc., to avoid direct contact with the processing fluid. Secondly, good ventilation conditions should be maintained in the workshop to eliminate the oil mist and harmful gases in time. In addition, the CNC machine and processing fluid are cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure the normal operation of the machine and the stability of the processing fluid.
In addition to the above measures, enterprises should also strengthen the health monitoring and education of workers. Regular medical examinations of workers to detect and address health problems in a timely manner; At the same time, through training and education, improve workers' awareness and prevention awareness of the hazards of metal working fluids, so that they can consciously comply with the safety operation procedures and reduce the occurrence of occupational hazards.
In addition, for the production and use of metal working fluids for CNC machines, supervision and specifications should also be strengthened. Manufacturers should produce qualified processing fluids in strict accordance with relevant standards and requirements to ensure product quality and safety; At the same time, the user should also choose a regular channel to purchase the processing fluid, and use and store it correctly in accordance with the instructions.
In short, although CNC machine metal processing fluid plays an important role in modern industry, the harm it brings can not be ignored. Only through scientific prevention and management measures can we ensure the health and safety of workers and achieve sustainable development of industrial production.
