Compatible units, both fully compliant with the latest
regulations, designed to interlock lasers with maximum efficiency and
safety.
 ICS-1 interlock control
system
 Businesses and other organisations are increasingly
recognising the benefits of creating a safety culture in terms of better staff
morale, reduced sickness and increased productivity. The proper interlocking of
laser facilities is widely regarded as best safety practice and is thus
essential for any company using lasers which has a commitment to the safety of
its employees. In addition, the use of interlocks is a requirement of EN/IEC
60825-1 for all Class 4 and most Class 3B lasers whatever the application, and
is usually enforced by HSE and local authority inspectors.
Choose the ICS-1 interlock and warning sign system
The ICS-1 is a comprehensive and highly flexible system
for the control of laser interlocks which has been designed to meet all the
relevant European Standards (in particular EN 954-1 'Safety related control
systems ...' as well as EN 60825-1) and incorporates a unique safety checking
circuit which ensures that the system is fail safe. It can be used with lasers
of all powers and types, and incorporates automatic switching of illuminated
warning signs, over-ride facility for entry or exit, operation of laser power
supply, external shutters or interlock connectors and much more. The IPS-11 is
a heavy duty interlocked power supply designed as an add-on option to the ICS-1
for the interlocking of ring mains, large power supplies or multiple lasers in
the same room. Please call our sales department for help in designing your
system.
 IPS-11 Power Supply
The IPS-11 is a comprehensive heavy duty interlocked
power supply unit designed to operate in conjunction with the ICS-1 interlock
control system. It is fully compliant with the stringent requirements of EN
954-1 'Safety Related Control Systems' and provides extensive options for
interlocking laser facilities. Because these options are all available at the
same time it enables the user to operate many lasers from the one control
system and to interlock them in whichever way is best for each laser.
For instance, five lasers can be interlocked using their interlock
connectors, another six using low voltage shutters while two large lasers are
interlocked by drawing their power directly from the IPS-11 and there is still
capacity to add more lasers.
