Active Guarding for Table Top Systems

The Active Lucas Table Top Enclosure is fitted with the Laser Jailer® Active Guarding System which is designed to shut off high-power lasers within 50ms of a stray laser strike. The complete Laser Jailer® System comprises of an outer passive laser safety enclosure which is lined throughout with active guarding detector tiles connected to the Lasermet Interlock® System. Any stray laser beam impacting one of the tiles will isolate the laser in less than 50ms.

Due to the extremely high power of some lasers, the active guarding tiles are designed to be easily replaced once they have been struck by a laser beam. These sacrificial detector tiles can be folded and overlapped to fit into corners or to fit around equipment.  The detector tiles have a simple connector at each end to facilitate easy troubleshooting and replacement.
