Lasermet designed, manufactured and installed a custom clamshell laser safety enclosure around an optical table, solving the challenge of protecting an advanced laser set-up while keeping it accessible for set-up and adjustment.
Paired clamshell sections open around the table for access and close to form a laser-blocking environment. The roughly 3 m × 2 m enclosure uses laser-blocking panels similar to those in Lasermet’s Laser Castle.
The installation is one of the first to feature Lasermet’s new rigid Laser Jailer Active Guarding tiles, which line the interior and doors, giving a robust, clean finish. Monitored by the interlock system, they shut the laser down within 150 ms of any stray beam strike.
It is also among the first worldwide to use the ICS-Magellan touchscreen interlock controller, offering NFC keycard access, hardware-based safety independent of the software, and integration with guarding, access sensing and emergency stops, creating one complete, coordinated safety system.
