Laser Safe Interlocked Curtains for Laser Radiation Protection
Protecting People, Advancing Industries
In laser-controlled environments, prioritizing the safety of personnel and equipment is essential. The Laser Safe Interlock Curtain offers a holistic solution for reducing risks linked to laser radiation exposure, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and workflow effectiveness.
This innovative system integrates a curtain track, laser-blocking curtain, interlock switch, and interlock switch pin to create a robust barrier against laser radiation leakage while ensuring seamless access for authorized personnel.
Key Components
- Curtain Track: enables smooth and effortless movement of the curtain.
- Laser Blocking Curtain: blocks and prevent laser radiation from escaping the Laser Controlled Area. The curtain’s customizable options come along with four distinct options:
- Interlock Switch: acts as a fail-safe mechanism, ensuring that the curtain remains closed during laser operation to maintain a safe environment.
- Interlock Switch Pin: complementing the interlock switch, the interlock switch pin is a key component that facilitates secure closure of the curtain.
How It Works?
When setting up a laser-controlled area using Lasermet’s Laser Safe Interlocked Curtain, the ICS Controller will only activate the laser under specific safe conditions.
One of these conditions is that the Interlock Switch must detect the Interlock Switch pin (curtain closed), activating both channels and sending a message to the Interlock Control System (ICS) to enable the laser, which will then display “DANGER LASER ON” on the nearby LED sign.
The Interlock Control System will not activate the laser if the Interlock Switch Pin is not attached to the Interlock Switch, at which point the LED sign will display “NO HAZARD LASER OFF.”
Benefits
- Safety Assurance: guarantee the safety of individuals working within the laser-controlled environments.
- Compliance with Regulations: In many industries, compliance with stringent safety regulations and standards is mandatory. The Laser Safe Interlock Curtain aligns with these regulatory requirements by offering a reliable solution for controlling laser radiation exposure.
- Operational Efficiency: Beyond safety considerations, the Laser Safe Interlock Curtain contributes to operational efficiency in laser-controlled areas. Its user-friendly design and seamless integration with existing access control systems streamline workflow processes by allowing authorized personnel to access the secured area without compromising safety.
- Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial investment in the Laser Safe Interlock Curtain may seem significant, its long-term benefits outweigh the costs. By preventing accidents, injuries, and equipment damage, the system minimizes potential financial losses associated with downtime, medical expenses, and regulatory penalties.
