How to cover a 100w Laser

[jamesrd]

So I have a 100w laser and the laser follows the red line, as you can see most of the invisible laser travel is exposed. Any idea on best ways to cover this?

Thanks

Just a thought...
Put the whole thing into an enclosure (cabinet) with an interlock switch which prevents the laser being fired when the enclosure door is opened.

Thanks, I have been doing research and that is something what I had in mind, but the interlock switch is a good idea. Thanks!

If you're using a laser marking machine and noticing that the invisible laser light is exposed along the red line, there are ways to fix it:

Enclosure: Make a box around the laser's path using materials that stop the laser light from getting out.

Shields: Put up barriers to block stray light from escaping the laser's path. These barriers could be made of solid materials.

Reflective Surfaces: Use shiny surfaces to bounce any stray laser light back into the right path, reducing exposure elsewhere.

Adjustment: Try changing the position of the laser to lessen the exposure of the invisible laser light. You might need to change the angle or direction of the laser beam.

Safety Rules: Make sure you're following safety rules for using lasers, especially in laser marking machines. This includes keeping the laser light contained and safe.

Using these methods, you can make sure that the invisible laser light stays where it should in laser marking machines, keeping things safe and working well.

Options include using laser-safe curtains or enclosures made from materials like polycarbonate or acrylic, which are designed to contain and block laser beams effectively. Additionally, installing laser safety interlocks and implementing proper safety protocols can further enhance safety measures in your workspace. If you need further assistance or advice on implementing these solutions, consulting with laser safety experts or reaching out to the manufacturer of your laser equipment can provide valuable guidance. Nonetheless, considering Monport lasers could offer you a reliable and safe laser solution for your applications.
