The
Laser Interlock System ICS-1 is widely regarded as the industry standard and is used in many hundreds of laboratories, hospitals, clinics and other areas where hazardous lasers are being operated. An optional heavy-duty interlocked power supply, the IPS-11, is available for the interlocking of ring mains, large power supplies or multiple lasers in the same room.
The
Laser Interlock System ICS-10 is an intelligent development of the ICS-1, being fitted with a computer interface for configuration and system monitoring. Up to 16 interlock switches can be monitored via a hard-wired safety circuit, with a data monitor circuit providing an extra safety check. Wall-mounted and portable versions are available.
The
Laser Interlock System ICS-5 is the most recent system to be added and incorporates the latest in electronic technology. It is intended as a low-cost alternative for use in small laboratories or clinics. It has all the safety features of the ICS-1 and is supplied with a simple, easy-to-use control panel and can be wired directly to 4 interlocks or groups of interlocks.
