Model Laser Jailer -Active Laser Guarding Safety System

The Laser Jailer Active Guarding System by Lasermet is designed to contain a high powered laser beam in a laser enclosure. The complete Laser Jailer System comprises of an outer passive laser safety enclosure which is lined throughout with laser beam detector tiles. These active guarding panels, which also act as a laser shield, are connected to the laser safety Interlock® System. Any stray laser beam impacting one of the tiles will isolate the laser in less than 50ms.

Virtually any size of laser enclosure can be fitted with the Laser Jailer Active Guarding System – from small enclosures to full room-sized laser shelters containing robot welding machines. The fully commissioned laser cabin will then act as an effective laser barrier to confine the laser beam within the laser cabin.

ACTIVE DETECTOR PANELS

Each Active Guarding Panel (or detector tile) contains a laser detector circuit which is connected to the laser Interlock® System.

If a high power laser is directed at any of the tiles within the laser cell, it changes the properties of the circuit which is detected by the Interlock® Controller to turn the laser off. Due to the extremely high power of some lasers, the tiles have been designed to be easily replaced once they have been struck by a high energy laser beam. These sacrificial detector sheets can be folded and overlapped to fit into corners or to fit around equipment.  The tiles have a simple connector at each end to facilitate easy repair and replacement.

RETROFIT TO EXISTING ENCLOSURES OR CELLS

Being a modular active laser protection system, the Laser Jailer system can be retrofitted to an existing enclosure. Passive laser safety systems cannot contain high power lasers that have a small beam.

The Lasermet active laser safety control system design is lightweight, adaptable, repeatable and maintainable, and uses fail-safe technology.

COST EFFECTIVE ACTIVE LASER GUARDING

The laser guard design – using active technology – is cost effective because it can reduce the requirement for some of the strength and weight of some of the surrounding infrastructure.

• Inherent Fail-safe technology
• Conforms to the design and laser safety standards
• Versatile, modular, scalable, lightweight
• Provides maximum protection
• Standard or custom-built design
• Easy to maintain
• Rapid availability
• Reduces building infrastructure
