19 Dec 2007 Lasermet have announced a new range of laser-blocking screens. They are made from materials which have been specially-developed in house and are designed to be used as passive guards to enclose an area where Class 3B or Class 4 lasers are in use Lasermet, market-leaders in supplying laser safety solutions, have announced a new range of laser-blocking screens.
Made from materials which have been specially-developed in house, these screens are designed to be used as passive guards to enclose an area where Class 3B or Class 4 lasers are in use either to protect against accidental exposure to the laser beam or for long term blocking of laser radiation at lower power densities.
All Lasermet laser-blocking products conform to legal requirements for the protection of employees and third parties from stray laser radiation. They are CE marked and certified to EN 60825-4 (Safety of Laser Products Part 4: Laser Guards).
Lasermet laser-blocking screens are available in standard and heavy-duty versions, both of which can be used to block lasers of all wavelengths.
Standard Laser-Blocking Screens consist of a screen of special laser-blocking material, which seals to the floor, supported by a black-coated steel framework, mounted on lockable castors. Multiple screens can be connected together in line or at angles and can form a complete enclosure if required. Protection times in excess of 100 s are achieved for the following power densities and areas - 3 MW/sq m over 1 sq mm and 0.7 MW/sq m over 500 sq mm.
Heavy-duty screens are available for high power, multi-kilowatt materials-processing lasers. These are made from a 50 mm thick sandwich of steel and a special lightweight laser-blocking material mounted on a powder-coated steel framework, with heavy-duty lockable castors. By connecting a number of heavy-duty screens together to fully surround a class 4 laser, the system can then be considered under class 1 safety regulations. Protection times in excess of 100 s are achieved for the following power densities and areas - 61 MW/sq m over 4 sq mm and 2.7 MW/sq m over 2000 sq mm.
