Laser Castle Lite
Laser Castle Lite is a modular build laser safety cabin designed specifically to protect nearby users from the damaging effects of high powered laser radiation.
This low cost cabin arrives as a flat-pack in a shipping crate, and is easily assembled on site by the customer. It is supplied with a manually operated door, safety interlock switch, dual-message LED warning sign, Emergency Stop break glass, internal Emergency stop button and entry door maglock − all linked to the ICS-Solo interlock control system.
Being modular, it is constructed from the same laser blocking material as the Laser Castle cabin (which is currently in service all over the world) and to enable low cost ventilation, the cabin has an open roof void. It can be rapidly built and installed on site straight out of the box.

ICS Laser interlock systems
The Lasermet LS-20 Laser Safety Shutter is intended to provide a means of preventing accidental exposure to a potentially harmful laser beam. It has been designed to form part of a high-integrity safety system and features a gravity-close blade and force-disconnect proving contacts. 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.
Laser Safety Cabins
These modular, Class 1, room-sized enclosures are tested and certified to international laser safety standards (IEC 60825-4 Safety of Laser Products Part 4 - Laser Guards) and can be rapidly designed, built and installed by Lasermet.
They are supplied with Lasermet's interlock control system and high quality, dual message, dual colour, low voltage, illuminated LED signs. A CCTV system covers the operation inside the cabin and provision is made for fume extraction, making this a cost effective and extremely easy method of enclosing the laser system, which then complies to international laser safety standards.

Orcatina Folding Laser Blocking Curtains
The folded laser blocking curtains use the minimum of space once drawn back. There are no floor rails as the curtains are supported solely by the upper rail structure mounted to the ceiling. The curtains are made from Lasermet’s "Orca" black and white laser blocking material used worldwide in Lasermet’s laser blocking curtains and blinds. They are, certified to BS EN IEC 60825-4 - the laser safey standard.
Laser Jailer - Active Laser Guard
The Active Laser Guarding System with Inherent Fail Safe Technology
The Laser Jailer is an active laser safety system which combines an inherently fail-safe laser detection technique and Lasermet's proven laser interlock control system technology to create an active laser guarding system which is fail safe to Machinery Directive Standard EN13849-1.
The system is designed to contain a high powered laser beam in a laser enclosure which is smaller and lighter than would otherwise be necessary. It comprises of an outer passive enclosure and an inner active enclosure made up of detector tiles which are connected to Lasermet's ICS interlock system.
Lasermet's fail-safe technology isolates the laser safety input in less than 50ms. The laser machine responds to this laser termination signal and laser radiation is terminated - the actual laser termination time being dependent on the laser machine in use.
Audible Warning System
The Audio Alert IP65 system, suitable for outdoor use, is a local public address system that audibly delivers a pre-programmed message when triggered. The message is heard from a speaker integrated into the compact unit, which is triggered by one of the following options.
Trigger options
1. PIR - passive infrared detector
2. Application of 6 to 24VDC
3. Programmed Timer
So, next time you want to automatically warn, instruct or inform someone in the vicinity, just decide on the message, which can be up to 40 seconds long, and the frequency of delivery and we can pre-program the device to your specification.
Two messages can be recorded and one these can be selected by a keyswitch.
Laser Blocking Curtains
Certified laser blocking curtains for Class 4 and Class 3B lasers - for Hospital and Medical Environments; Clean Rooms, Universities, Laboratories and Research Establishments
Laser protection with laser safety curtains
To ensure Class 4 and Class 3B laser beams do not escape from laser laboratory or medical facilities, including hospital theatres, certified laser blocking material should be installed. Ordinary curtains are rarely capable of stopping a laser beam and specially-designed certified laser blocking material must be used (Certified to IEC/EN 60825-4).
Also production facilities using Class 1 lasers, which are Class 4 under service conditions, may require ceiling-mounted curtains to allow other work to continue safely in the same room during service.
To provide the necessary protection level, Lasermet's laser blocking curtains are ideal. They are designed 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.

I-Extract
I-Extract is Lasermet’s fume extraction system specifically designed for the extraction and filtration of gases and emissions created by lasers during laser welding, laser cutting and laser cladding processes.
Designed as an integrated part of Lasermet’s “Laser Castle” laser safety cabin, the I-Extract has ample power to extract the appropriate volume of emitted gases produced in the cabin.
The specific CFM (cubic feet per minute) figures are available for specific
cabins.
A powerful, three phase electric motor powers the extraction fan.
The overall enclosure is manufactured using galvanised sheet metal with a powder coated finish.
Filters One HEPA Filter (High-efficiency particulate arrestance) individually tested to EN1822:2009 H3, and two further filters tested to EN779:2012 Filter Class M6.
Laser Blocking Roller Blinds
Chain operated encapsulated laser blocking roller blind
Most Class 4 and many Class 3B lasers present an eye hazard over very long distances and it is therefore imperative to have comprehensive laser safety protection in place wherever they are present.
Laser radiation must be prevented from escaping through the windows of laboratories and production facilities. Ordinary curtains or screens are rarely capable of stopping a laser beam and specially-designed blocking products are required.
Lasermet's laser blocking roller blinds are designed as a passive guarding system to block laser light from escaping the theatre, laboratory or laser facility 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.
The blinds are fitted to cover windows (and to doors where there is a window built into the door), and there are options to suit the application.
For Lasermet’s encapsulated laser blocking roller blinds the options are as follows:-
- The blinds can be operated manually by chain or crank handle.
- Alternatively, the motorised version (24V AC or 230 VAC for larger blinds) can be operated by remote control − either wireless or hard-wired.
Laser Blocking Sceens
Portable laser blocking screens
To protect personnel from Class 4 and Class 3B lasers it is imperative to have comprehensive laser safety protection in place. Laser radiation must be prevented from escaping from labs and manufacturing facilities using certified equipment.
Also, facilities utilising Class 1 lasers which are Class 4 under service conditions may require free-standing screens to allow other work to continue safely in the same room during service.
Lasermet provide a range of free-standing laser-blocking screens which are designed for use as passive guards to enclose areas 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 screens are CE marked and certified to EN 60825-4 (Safety of Laser Products Part 4: Laser Guards).
The main types of certified laser blocking screens (all certified to IEC/BS EN 60825-4) are:-
- The LaserLightScreen - the latest, low-cost, floor-hugging, certified, laser blocking, wheeled screen
- The Standard Laser Blocking Screen - made using Lasermet’s specially developed laser blocking material
- The Flatfoot Laser Blocking Screen - designed to eliminate trip hazards
- The Heavy Duty Screen - for multi-kW lasers
All of the screens are portable and can be used as simple temporary installations or can be used on a semi-permanent or permanent basis as required.
