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.

Thank you for the excellent customer support! From contact first thing on Tuesday morning, response from yourself the same day, delivery of new panel yesterday and installation by Danny today it has been a good experience, very professional. Will definitely recommend you to others based on this after care if nothing else. Thanks again. Paul
Dear Lasermet, You have just installed 4 laser interlock systems at our York premises and I would just like to say thank you for a job well done. The lads have done a cracking high quality job and were a pleasure to have around. Again many thanks.
David, Thank you for the reply. Kevin has indeed sent me all the relevant information (including pictures – which is always extremely useful) and I now have both your and his e-mail addresses. We don’t often order laser goggles, it’s always nice to know who you’re dealing with. I’d also like to say thank you for such a speedy and efficient service. As you can imagine workloads take over and things can get missed if not dealt with straight away, so to get answers to my questions straight away both on the phone and via e-mail is a refreshing change (not all companies I deal with are so organised). Kind regards Jo
