Active Guarding Detector Panel

These active guarding panels, which also act as a laser shield, are connected to the laser safety Interlock® System. Any stray laser beam impacting one of the tiles will isolate the laser in less than 50ms.

Each Active Guarding Panel (or detector tile) contains a laser detector circuit which is connected to the laser Interlock® System.

If a high power laser is directed at any of the tiles within the laser cell, it changes the properties of the circuit which is detected by the Interlock® Controller to turn the laser off. Due to the extremely high power of some lasers, the tiles have been designed to be easily replaced once they have been struck by a high energy laser beam. These sacrificial detector sheets can be folded and overlapped to fit into corners or to fit around equipment.  The tiles have a simple connector at each end to facilitate easy repair and replacement.
