1 BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 Laser safety
The user is responsible for safe operation and for safeguarding the surrounding area against
hazards that can be caused by laser radiation. OEM customers must ensure compliance with
all local and national regulations.
1.2 Laser shutter
The subsystem - consisting of a linear translator module and a deflection unit - is designed to
focus and deflect an input laser beam and output it again. The subsystem cannot block or
weaken the laser beam. To prevent unwanted emission of the laser beam, above a particular
danger class the laser device must be fitted with a shutter ( page 7, Classification of laser
devices).
The laser device must be of sufficient quality that the laser beam can only be emitted at the
beam output on the deflection unit.
