Our lasers are safe for the operator.

There are several laser classes

- class 1: Lasers that are safe when used, even for direct vision  of the beam over a long period and even when using telescopic optical devices.
- class 2: Lasers emitting from 400 nm to 700 nm wavelength visible radiation, harmless for temporary exposures (0.25 s), but  harmful in case deliberate vision of the beam.
- class 3: Lasers emitting radiation which may exceed the EMP in case of direct vision of the beam, but with relatively low risk of injury in most cases. We do not have this type of laser.
- class 4: Lasers for which  vision in the beam and skin exposure  are dangerous.Also, vision of diffuse reflections can be dangerous. A fire hazard is also often present with this kind of laser. They require wearing protective glasses.

Our lasers belong to the  2nd class as they are equipped as standard with a red dot pointer allowing to simulate work or start it at a determined place. The red dot pointer power being very low (less than one mw), it is not dangerous.

All our machines comply with CE standards and meet requirements of Machinery Directive 2006/42 / EC.

They are supplied  with:
- a key switch to start the tube
- door safety systems  immediatly stopping laser emission in case the laser compartment is opened.
- an easily accessible emergency stop button.
- a special safety window for absorption of the laser beam.
