Yuumi Morimoto of Intech Co is pictured here looking after the demonstration Laser Castle – Lasermet’s modular, rapid-build, certified laser safety cabin – at the Japan International Welding Show 2018, Tokyo at the end of April.
Intech Co has been representing Lasermet in Japan for many years and some of the key features of the modular laser safety cabin can be clearly seen next to Yuumi Morimoto, including the Glaser Jailer – active filter window (which immediately switches off the laser if the window is struck by a laser beam); the new touch-screen (dual channel) laser interlock controller that ensures all the doors are closed before enabling the laser to fire; the dual-colour, dual-message LED warning signs and the sliding door (which can be motorised for automation).
Further options (not shown) include the Laser Jailer (Active Laser Guarding) technology that prevents the escape of any stray laser beam by isolating the laser safety input in less than 50ms if the beam strikes the internals of the cabin, and the integrated fume extraction system – the Swallow.

Whoopee, they've solved how to keep a light on but not a lot else.
