Product description
ICS-6 interlock control system for safe laser applications
The use of interlocks is required for all Class 3B and Class 4 lasers regardless of their application in accordance with EN / IEC 60825-1.
The ICS-6 "ELISe" Interlock System (Expandable Laser Interlock System "e"), when properly installed, meets the highest possible performance level PL e in accordance with EN ISO 13849-1. Externally, it is very similar to the popular predecessor model ICS-5 (PL d), but offers even greater security and functionality and thus meets all the latest safety standards with flying colors.
With this compact, versatile and completely fail-safe laser interlock, you have full control over:
- the activity of lasers via their interlock contacts, power supply and beam traps
- mechanical or coded magnetic door switches
- illuminated warning signs window blinds, curtains and mobile laser protective walls
The ICS-6 interlock system combines the proven and proven advantages of its predecessors, such as absolute flexibility, robustness and ease of use, with new features such as remote monitoring.
