New and improved Caiman Window Blinds from Lasermet
Clear Vision, Full Protection.
When working with high-powered lasers, ensuring both safety and visibility is crucial. Whether in medical facilities, manufacturing plants, or research laboratories, professionals need reliable protection without compromising their ability to monitor operations. Lasermet, a leader in laser safety innovation, introduces Caiman Laser Safety Window Blinds—a smart solution that provides robust protection while maintaining clear visibility.
Key Features
Laser-Blocking Poly-carbonate Composite Material
The slats of the Caiman Window are made of a special composite material with laser-blocking properties, specifically designed to shield against stray laser beams while maintaining visibility. This makes it ideal for environments where uncontrolled laser reflections could pose a risk.
Certified Laser Protection
The Caiman blinds are rigorously tested and comply with IEC 60825-4 Safety of Laser Products Part 4: Laser Guards. These blinds effectively block all medical, industrial, and research lasers, ensuring a safe environment for both staff and patients. Designed to shield against stray laser emissions, the Caiman blinds protect individuals outside the laser-controlled area while allowing controlled monitoring inside.
Dual-Mode visibility
Caiman Laser Safety Window Blinds offer a unique dual visibility mode, allowing users to switch between full protection and controlled transparency.
A simple lever mechanism enables users to adjust the slats effortlessly, transitioning between full visibility and complete laser blockage. This is particularly useful for monitoring laboratory operations without exposing personnel to hazardous laser beams.
The slats ensure that when in the open position, external observers can safely view inside the laser-controlled area while still being shielded from stray laser reflections. This feature is essential for environments where continuous observation of laser operations is required without compromising safety standards.
Window Fit Options
The Caiman blinds can be installed as a standard fit within the door or window aperture or fitted flush with the surface.
Standard Fit
Eliminates the need for unhygienic metal housing and allows a tight seal between the glass and the beading. Positioned either centrally across the door thickness or flush on one side with a single bead.
Flush Fit
Designed and manufactured to suit the exact thickness of the housing. Sealed with silicone mastic, providing a highly hygienic detail with no crevices or ledges for dirt or bacteria to harbour.
Dual-Channel Interlock for Maximum Safety
The Caiman blinds incorporate dual-channel interlock technology, providing Performance Level ‘e’ (PL‘e’) compliance—the highest level of laser safety assurance. This advanced interlocking system ensures that laser exposure is automatically blocked when the blinds are in the closed position, preventing accidental leakage of harmful laser radiation.
Safety Compliance & Testing
Lasermet’s Caiman blinds comply with stringent international laser safety standards and have been thoroughly tested to withstand Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL). The blinds provide exceptional protection against direct, scattered, and reflected laser beams.
| Irradiated Area | PEL (T2) 100s |
| 4 mm² | 17 MW/m² |
This high level of laser-blocking capability ensures that even intense laser exposure does not penetrate the blinds, keeping personnel outside the controlled area completely protected.
