Dorset-based
Lasermet Ltd is showcasing its recently launched Laser Castle Lite, a low-cost self-assembly laser safety cabin at
MACH 2022 (Hall 18, Stand 438), which is taking place this week (4-8 April) at the NEC, Birmingham.
It is aimed at small laser operations — including small laser robots used for cutting, cladding or welding — as well as for hand-held laser welders. Laser Castle Lite is an interlocked, modular-build cabin designed specifically to protect co-workers outside of it from the potentially dangerous effects of high-energy laser radiation.
This cabin arrives as a ‘flat pack’ in a shipping crate and is easily assembled on site by the customer.
It is supplied with a manually-operated door, safety interlock switch, dual message LED warning sign, emergency-stop break glass, internal emergency-stop button and entry door maglock — all linked to an ICS-Solo interlock control system.
Being modular, it is constructed from the same laser blocking material as the Laser Castle cabin (which is currently in service all over the world); and to enable low-cost ventilation, the cabin has an open roof void.
The panels are certified to BS EN IEC 60825-4. The standard cabin is 3 x 3 x 2.4m — including interlocks and without the roof.
