Lasermet is proud to announce the design, manufacturing and installation of our newest custom enclosure for Optical Tables, the Clamshell!

Operating high-powered lasers on an optical table is dangerous so we devised an enclosure that creates a laser safe controlled environment but also makes it very easy for users to access the optics.

The Clamshell has the same laser blocking panels as our Laser Castle enclosures. The panels are made of laser blocking material and certified to the Laser Safety Standard EN IEC 60825-4.

The Clamshell opens three ways: slide left, slide right, or open the doors.

 The ICS-Magellan is Lasermet’s touchscreen Laser Interlock Controller.

The controller provides a clear view of the configured interlock system, including its inputs and independently controlled outputs, from one modern control point.

Fitted with Laser Jailer® Active Guarding System!

Each active tile is monitored by the interlock system, so an unexpected strike on a guarded surface can be detected by the controller. Any stray laser beam strikes will immediately shut down the laser within 150ms, ensuring system safety.

This project shows what is possible when the enclosure is designed around the application rather than treated as a standard box around a laser.

The Clamshell provides the access the optical table requires, while the laser-blocking panels, rigid active guarding tiles and ICS-Magellan controller work together as one complete system.
