ICS-LJM Laser JailMaster
The ICS-LJM protects individuals and equipment from high-power laser hazards by actively monitoring enclosures using Lasermet’s ABG technology.
It features advanced monitoring capabilities, including:
- Interlock Control for stand-alone Active Filter Windows
- Real-time detection of enclosure breaches
- Four ABG circuits in the main unit (expandable)
- Automatic laser shutdown in the event of a fault
- Fail-safe arming logic to prevent accidental reactivation
Description
The Laser JailMaster ICS-LJM is Lasermet`s next-generation laser interlock controller, engineered to deliver robust protection against accidental exposure to laser hazards. Formerly known as LJIM (Laser Jailer Interface Module), the ICS-LJM actively monitors laser enclosures using Lasermet`s Active Beam Guard (ABG) technology, ensuring the safety of both personnel and equipment.
Active Beam Guard Monitoring
Continuously checks the integrity of enclosures walls and windows. If any part of the enclosure is compromised, the system immediately shuts down the laser.
Integrated Interlock® Control
The main unit includes two interlock operator outputs and four independent ABG circuits.
Expandable for Complex Systems
Connect up to 31 expansion units, each providing four additional ABG circuits, allowing scalable protection for large or multi-room enclosures.
Fail-Safe Arming Logic
Requires two external volt free contacts (typically from a PLC) to arm. The system will only arm if all ABG circuits are valid and safety conditions are met.
Prevention of Unexpected Laser Activation
Once an ABG fault is detected during an arm request, the system will not arm-even if the faults clears-until the arm signal is reset and reissued.
ICS-LJM System Overview
The ICS-LJM serves as the central control unit in a high-power laser safety system. It connects to the ICS-LJM SO, which in turn receives input from the Active Guarding Circuits installed on the walls and windows of the laser enclosure.
These circuits continuously monitor the enclosure for any breaches or laser leakage, ensuring real-time safety monitoring. The ICS-LJM can also be integrated with Lasermet`s CaLM (Control and Laser Monitoring), allowing the system status and active guarding panels to be displayed on a monitor for easy fault identification and system diagnostics.
The laser is connected to the ICS-LJM through dual-channel voltage-free contacts, ensuring it only activates when all safety conditions are met. This seamless integration creates a reliable, fail-safe solution for laser safety and enables tagging of related products such as the ICS-LJM SO, Active Guarding Panels, CaLM, and dual-channel controlled lasers.
This integrated setup provides a robust and fail-safe solution for high-power laser safety, making it easy to tag related products like ICS-LJM SO, Active Guarding Panels, CaLM, and dual-channel controlled lasers as part of one seamless safety system.
