Laser Safety Industries Highlights Flexible Softwall Barrier Solutions for Industrial Laser Applications at IMTS 2026
Providing Configurable Laser Containment Solutions for Welding, Cleaning, and Automated Laser Systems
As industrial laser technology continues to expand across manufacturing, companies need laser safety solutions that balance protection, accessibility, and operational flexibility.
At IMTS 2026, Laser Safety Industries (LSI) will showcase its Softwall Barrier Systems, providing manufacturers with configurable laser containment solutions designed for real-world industrial applications.
Flexible Laser Safety Solutions for Changing Manufacturing Environments
Not every laser application requires a permanent enclosure.
Many manufacturing environments require the ability to modify work areas, access equipment, or adapt to changing production needs. In these situations, flexible laser safety barriers can provide an effective engineering control while allowing manufacturers to maintain operational flexibility.
Softwall Barrier Systems can be configured for applications including:
- Laser welding
- Laser cleaning
- Robotic laser processing
- Research and development
- Manufacturing automation
- Temporary or changing work areas
Designed Around the Application
The appropriate laser safety solution depends on the specific application.
Factors such as laser wavelength, power level, process requirements, facility layout, and personnel access all influence the recommended approach.
LSI works with customers to understand these requirements before recommending a solution.
Considerations may include:
- Laser system characteristics
- Required containment area
- Frequency of access
- Viewing requirements
- Mobility requirements
- Future changes to the workspace
By understanding the application first, LSI helps manufacturers identify solutions that support both safety objectives and operational needs.
Modular, Portable, and Configurable
Industrial environments are constantly changing.
Production lines move. Equipment changes. New processes are introduced.
Softwall Barrier Systems are designed to provide manufacturers with a flexible approach to laser containment by allowing work areas to be configured around specific applications.
Benefits may include:
- Easy reconfiguration as needs change
- Efficient use of available workspace
- Portable containment options
- Integration with existing manufacturing environments
- Improved separation between laser operations and surrounding areas
Supporting Industrial Laser Applications
Softwall barriers are commonly used as part of a broader laser safety strategy that may include:
- Laser safety eyewear
- Viewing windows
- Administrative controls
- Training
- Other engineering controls
The appropriate combination of controls depends on the specific laser application and hazard evaluation.
Practical Laser Safety Expertise
Laser Safety Industries approaches laser safety by understanding the application before recommending products.
Through engineering reviews, technical resources, and application-focused guidance, LSI helps manufacturers better understand their options and implement practical laser safety solutions.
