One of The World's Leading Suppliers of Laser Safety
Equipment
Lasermet is a privately owned ISO 9001
registered company that has been instrumental in the
development of the recognised safety standards IEC/EN
60825 over a period of many years.
We provide our expertise to a wide range of
organisations, institutes and industries to ensure their
personnel are kept safe from the harmful and potentially
damaging effects of laser radiation.
This has resulted in
Lasermet
designing and manufacturing a large range of innovative
products to cover all aspects of laser safety.
The equipent
Lasermet
design, manufacture, install and certify is one of the
most extensive ranges anywhere in the world.
The range covers virtually all aspects of laser safety,
from laser beam shutters, laser blocking curtains, laser
protective enclosures, filter windows, LED warning signs
and laser interlock systems, to laser warning labels,
laser safety software, power meters, laser protective
screens and roller blinds.
Laser Safety Enclosures
Lasermet is one of the only companies
globally to manufacture active laser guarding enclosures
which are used when more powerful lasers are employed
e.g. laser cutting, laser welding, laser cladding in
engineering which are used heavily in the automotive
industry.
Lasermet's safety enclosures come in the
form of the Laser Castle which is a safety cabin that
protects personnel from the dangers of high powered
laser beams by means of absorbing the laser power in the
specially designed roof and walls.
The 'Laser Castle' and 'Laser Jailer' from
Lasermet are modular Class 1 room sized
enclosures which are tested and certified to
international standards (IEC 60825-4 Safety Laser
Products Part 4-Laser Guards) all of which can be
designed and manufactured and quickly installed by
Lasermet.
Small Class 1 Enclosures for Class 4 Lasers-CE
Certified to EN 60825-4 Lasermet can supply and install Class 1
small laser enclosures for high power lasers which can
be designed and manufactured to meet the customers own
specifications.
We offer two types of small class 1 products depending
on the construction and these include both panel
enclosures and metal enclosures.
Laser Interlock Controllers
The purpose of a laser interlock system is to prevent
harm to personnel from potentially hazardous lasers.
Typically the laser will be disabled if a door is opened
to the room where it is operating, unless an authorised
user uses the override keypad.
The laser interlock systems from Lasermet are able to
operate laser interlocks, beam shutters, laser power and
warning signs and can be fitted with entry/exit
overrides and emergency stop switches. Additionally a
key-lock prevents unauthorised use.
Lasermet's interlock controllers are widely regarded as
the industry standard in use in thousands of
laboratories, clinics, hospitals and anywhere where
hazardous lasers are being operated. All have been
designed to provide a comprehensive and highly versatile
laser safety environment which is easy to install,
operate and maintain.
Lasermet's most advanced interlock controller is the
ICS-6 'ELISe' (Expandable Laser Interlock Controller -
to performance level of ISO 13849-1).
FDA/CDRH Registration
All laser
products that enter the USA must be registered with the
FDA to legally enter the country because in the USA
laser safety is dealt with by regulations which are part
of federal law as opposed to Europe whereby
manufacturers are able to self-certify to various
standards.
To legally enter the USA a laser product must have an
accession number which needs to be quoted on the
importers declaration. To obtain an accession number a
laser product must be submitted to the FDA who will not
make a charge for this service.
Lasermet is the UKs leading test house for the
following standards:
EN 60825-1/IEC 60825-1*
EN 60825-2/IEC 60825-2
EN 60825-12/IEC 60825-12*
EN 60601-2-22/IEC 60601-2-22*
21 CFR 1040.10
Lasermet is also the only test house with
UKAS Accreditation for laser and LED testing.
Laser Safety Training
All personnel using Class 1M, Class 2M, Class 3R, Class
3B and Class 4 lasers should receive laser safety
training. For Class 1M, 2M and 3R lasers the training
may be quite concise.
All organisations using Class3B, Class 4 or invisible
Class 3R lasers must have a laser safety officer who
should have received the appropriate training.
Lasermet provides a number of laser safety
training courses that have been specifically designed
for each of the above so to find out more about this
service please contact us or visit our website.
