A Long-Standing Relationship Lasermet has supported STMicroelectronics with laser safety systems over a number of years. The relationship began with the installation of an ICS-6 Interlock Control System and has continued as STMicroelectronics’ laboratory facilities and safety requirements have expanded. More recent projects at the company’s Edinburgh site have involved the installation of multiple ICS-9…
From June 1–5, 2026, Lasermet was in Liverpool for the 7th European IRPA Congress. The IRPA (International Radiation Protection Association) Congress is a major international/regional gathering for knowledge exchange amongst professionals in radiation protection. As a company specializing in laser safety, exhibiting at the IRPA Congress was a new undertaking for Lasermet. However, we see…
Lasermet was pleased to participate in the DOE Laser Safety Officer (LSO) Workshop 2026, held at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) last May 19–21, 2026. The annual workshop brings together laser safety professionals, researchers, and industry experts from across the U.S. Department of Energy community to discuss current challenges, emerging technologies, and best practices in…
A laser enclosure is far more than a box around a laser. A properly designed enclosure forms the foundation of a laser safety system, controlling access to hazardous areas, containing direct and reflected laser radiation, and integrating with safety systems that prevent exposure. Poor enclosure design can undermine even the most sophisticated laser equipment, while…
Lasermet USA has successfully installs a laser safety interlock and monitoring system for the NASA Langley Research Center. The project involved the design and integration of a comprehensive laser safety system across multiple laboratories used for space technology, advanced research and development, and aviation advancement. The project required a coordinated safety solution capable of managing…
As laser facilities continue to grow in size and complexity, managing laser safety systems has become increasingly demanding. Modern installations often incorporate multiple laboratories, active guarding systems, laser shutters, warning devices, emergency stop circuits, and access control systems that must all work together seamlessly. As these environments evolve, operators require greater visibility, simplified control, and…
The ICS-Magellan Laser Interlock® Controller is Lasermet’s advanced and newest all-in-one laser interlock controller.
Standards and Directives are a set of technical and regulatory requirements that manufacturers must follow when creating a product. These define essential safety and performance criteria to ensure that products placed on the market are safe for users and fit for their intended purpose. The CE marking and UKCA marking serve as formal declarations that…
What is a laser safety interlock system? An interlock system is a safety mechanism designed to prevent access to hazardous areas or control potentially dangerous operations unless certain predefined conditions are met. Interlock systems link the state of one device or component to another, effectively creating a chain of conditions. If one condition isn’t satisfied,…
Lasermet has recently worked with one of North America’s leading contractors for environmental rooms to deliver a suite of laser safety cleanrooms for a project in Connecticut, U.S.A. The project involved the design, install, and commissioning of a complex laser safety system for multiple cleanrooms interconnected by laser blocking curtains. Each cleanroom was provided a…
