Laser Welding Laser Containment!
Laser Curtains - Freestanding Laser Barriers - Portable Laser Barriers - Laser Welding Screens - Laser Enclosures
Our metal Laser welding Safety Curtains are built to exacting specifications with durable components to provide years of service.
Our laser safety curtains are manufactured to meet custom specifications and to fit any area in your environment.
Lasermach equips custom-made curtains and protective sleeves with Velcro closures, rings and/or eyelets depending on the application according to customer specifications.
The protective curtains reliably shield employees outside the cabin: No radiation escapes to the outside. Important! Reflections must be avoided! Lasermach manufactures laser welding protection covers precisely according to customer requirements. As a result, hoses, electrical cables, extraction systems and the like are protected against laser radiation.
Which laser welding safety curtain can be used for laser welding or for laser cleaning?
What laser protection standard is accepted for handheld Laser Welding?
IEC 60825-4
is the only accepted standard for laser welding protection curtains
⇑ ⇓ ⇑ ⇓
DIN EN 12254:2012-04
This EN 12254 standard applies to supervised screens for installations in working places at which laser radiation up to a maximum mean power of 100 W or single pulse energy of 30 J . Simply : protection for low power testlabo's
So DIN EN 12254:2012-04 is not a valid norm for Laser Welding
Laser Welding protective Enclosures - Laser welding Curtains - Laser Welding Screens - Laser Welding booths - Laser welding windows
The latest generation of handheld laser welders and cleaning systems are fast, easy to operate and produce high quality, consistent welds across a range of different materials and thicknesses. However, you must not overlook the required safety and personal protection measures.
When using a Class 4 laser welder it is imperative that you use a suitable Class 4 enclosure.
Lasermach have designed a standard “plug and play” range that provides this safe working environment:
PhotonSafe® Series - Laser Safety Curtains
PhotonSafe® Laser Protection curtains are provided with high-level protection from laser radiation, and meet the laser safety requirements of class 4 laser.

Laser Standard NOT suitable for laser welding - only for Labo use with laser power of maximum 100 Watt
This standard specifies functional requirements and a product labelling applicable to temporary and permanent passive guards (in the following called screens) for protection against laser radiation. This standard includes test methods for testing functional performance and the specification of the user documentation to be supplied with the product.
The screens are designed to protect the user from:
- unintentional exposure to direct and/or diffuse laser radiation;
- a time limited exposure to laser radiation, based on the functional requirements determined by risk assessment.
This standard applies to supervised screens for installations in working places at which laser radiation up to a maximum mean power of 100 W or single pulse energy of 30 J occurs within the spectral range between 180 nm (0,18 µm) and 106 nm (1 000 µm).
This standard applies to the protection against laser radiation only. This standard does not apply to other hazards including hazards from secondary radiation that can arise during, for example, material processing.
This standard gives guidance on how to select such screens.
Laser enclosures and housings that are supplied as part of the laser product or are supplied to be fitted to a laser system to form a laser product (according to EN 60825-1) are not considered to be within the scope of the standard.
IEC 60825-4:2022 - BS EN IEC 60825-4 - Safety of laser products - Part 4: Laser guards
The only Acceptable Standard for Laser Welding Protection
IEC 60825-4:2022 deals with basic issues concerning laser guards, including human access, interlocking and labelling, and gives general guidance on the design of protective housings and enclosures for high-power lasers. Laser guards may also comply with standards for laser protective eye-wear, but such compliance is not necessarily sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this document.
This part of IEC 60825 specifies the requirements for laser guards, permanent and temporary (for example for service), that enclose the process zone of a laser processing machine, and specifications for proprietary laser guards.
This applies to all component parts of a guard including clear (visibly transmitting) screens and viewing windows, panels, laser curtains and walls. In addition, this document indicates
- how to assess and specify the protective properties of a laser guard, and
- how to select a laser guard.

Please note that the curtain material only protects against stray light from the laser when using a hand-held laser welding device as intended. It is necessary for the laser protection officer in your company to confirm as part of a risk assessment that the maximum permissible radiation levels of the curtain are not being reached or exceeded. Scattered radiation, which can escape upwards, downwards or sideways, must be evaluated by the laser safety officer with regard to maximum permissible radiation levels depending on the on-site situation. Additional laser protection measures may be required.
