When the door is closed and the other defined safety conditions are met, the system can permit laser operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">If the door is opened, the safety circuit is interrupted and the laser system is brought into a safe state according to the design of the installation.

In other installations, it may also be appropriate to keep the door locked during certain operating modes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Emergency stops<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A laser interlock system can also be integrated with <strong>emergency stops<\/strong> positioned at suitable locations around the laser installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an emergency stop is activated, the connected safety function should respond according to the safety design defined for the installation. An emergency stop does not replace other protective measures. Instead, it forms another part of the overall safety system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

restart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a safety circuit has been interrupted, it is important in many installations that the laser system cannot automatically return to operation simply because the door is closed again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A controlled reset can therefore be required before the system can be re-enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
