Laser Safety Enclosures<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Laser safety enclosures are a central part of laser safety in industrial laser systems. By enclosing all or part of the laser process, hazardous direct, reflected and scattered laser radiation can be contained within a controlled area. An enclosure can range from a small standalone workstation to a complete safety cell surrounding a robotic laser process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When correctly designed, a laser safety enclosure combined with safety systems, interlocks, laser safety windows and other protective measures can provide a safe working environment even around high-power laser processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a laser safety enclosure?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A laser safety enclosure is a physical barrier between the laser process and its surroundings. Its purpose is to prevent laser radiation that could pose a risk to the eyes or skin from reaching people outside the designated laser area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The enclosure may surround only the laser process itself or a larger area containing robots, fixtures, material handling equipment and other production machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design therefore depends both on the characteristics of the laser and on the process itself. A compact laser marking station has very different requirements compared with, for example, a robotic high-power laser welding system.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Why enclose a laser process?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For industrial systems using high-power lasers, relying solely on personal protective equipment is generally not sufficient. An important principle of laser safety is to minimise the possibility of people being exposed to hazardous laser radiation in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical containment can define the hazardous area and control access to it. A properly designed enclosure can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
