LS-300 Series Laser Shutters

The Lasermet LS-300 Series of Laser Safety Beam Shutters are intended to provide a means of preventing accidental exposure to potentially harmful laser beam.

Description

The LS-300 Series of shutters features a motor-driven blade and is designed to form part of a high-integrity safety system. It is suitable for laser applications where the laser beam is travelling in a horizontal path.

When closed, the shutter deflects the incoming laser beam onto an internal beam dump where the energy is converted to heat which is dissipated in the aluminium casing of the shutter. When the shutter is open, the laser beam passes through the shutter without interruption. For higher power laser applications, it can be connected with an external beam dump.

The LS-300 Series have up to six options available:

  • LS-300-50
  • LS-300SIL-50
  • LS-300-75
  • LS-300SIL-75
  • LS-300-100
  • LS-300SIL-100

SIL-Rated Version

A ‘SIL3’ version is available which, when correctly wired to a Lasermet Interlock® Control System, can provide a safety Interlock® which meets Safety Integrity Level 3 to IEC 61508-1 and Performance Level ‘e’ to EN 13849-1.

OEM Version

The LS-300 Series also comes in an OEM version, designed to be integrated into user equipment to create a custom laser product with built-in laser shutters.

Shutter Blade Options

The shutter blade is made of stainless steel which is sufficient for most applications. However, ceramic, mirror or copper blades can be factory fitted to the blade if required.
