ICS-SOLO Low-cost Laser Interlock® Controller

Ideal for Hand-held Laser Welding Enclosures

The ICS-SOLO is a low-cost, dual-channel laser safety interlock controller ideal for handheld laser welding enclosures. It is a single input, single output laser safety controller typically used in small laser safety enclosures with a single door and controlling a single laser. The ICS-SOLO is a dual channel device which means that there are two input switches that must both be closed for the laser to be enabled.

This is achieved using Lasermet’s dual channel door interlock switch. ICS-SOLO has a simple, easy-to-use control panel which can be wired directly to the dual channel switch on the interlocked door and to the laser, keyswitch, emergency stops, and LED Warning Sign.

USING THE INTERLOCK

To enable the laser, the following procedure should apply:

Close the enclosure door after you’ve went into it. The contacts on the dual channel door switch will be closed as a result. (The laser will be disabled whenever the door is open).

The Safety OK Status LEDs on the interlock controller panel should be illuminated.

Enable the Keyswitch and press the Arm Laser Button. This is done to activate the laser.

The System Armed LED will light up. The laser is now operational.

Best Practice for Laser Welding

The Passive ALF can be fitted to a laser enclosure, such as the Laser Castle Lite or the Dolphin Laser Safety Pod, in addition to being integrated with Laser Interlock® Systems.

Hand-held laser welding setups should include a laser welding enclosure, an Interlock® Controller, and the Passive ALF Helmet for best results.
