Knowledge, Safety and News on Industrial Lasers
Unfortunately, there is still a great deal of uncertainty and many different questions. That is why we, as experienced manufacturers and speakers on laser safety in the use of line lasers and projection lasers, created this blog. The new EN 60825-1 has been in force since 2014. It now also explicitly regulates line lasers, cross-line lasers and projection lasers in commercial use. It is easier than many people think to create a completely safe laser installation and thus ensure safe operation in everyday working environments.
To achieve laser safety, a line laser must be mounted accordingly on a machine or fixture. This creates an assessable laser installation. In principle, the operator or user must not be able to look directly into the laser beam at the module. The module must be mounted mechanically and securely so that it cannot accidentally fall off or become detached and thereby create a hazard. During operation, the laser installation, meaning the mounted laser module together with the associated mechanical equipment, machines, brackets, fixtures and similar components, must therefore be classified as laser Class 2 or Class 1. You can find out how this works here in the blog.
