Technical Specifications

Flexible, Expandable Containment Configurations

This modular barrier system is designed to adapt to your workspace. The system can be configured as a partial containment setup or as a complete laser welding booth enclosure. Individual barrier sections connect through an integrated hinge system, allowing the layout to be configured around the laser process and available floor space.

  • L-shaped configuration using 2 barrier sections for corner containment  
  • U-shaped configuration using 3 barrier sections for defined work zones  
  • Full laser welding booth enclosures using 4 or more barrier sections

Additional sections can be incorporated to create larger or more complex containment layouts.

Entryway Controls & Interlocks

Depending on the application, a Class 4 laser controlled area may use non-defeatable interlocks, defeatable interlocks, or procedural entryway controls as part of the overall safety system. The appropriate approach depends on the laser application, facility design, and hazard assessment.

If you are planning a laser welding booth or enclosed laser area, our guide explains how ANSI Z136 entryway-control options, warning devices, and OSHA guidance relate to Class 4 laser installations.

Always consult your on-site Laser Safety Officer (LSO) to determine the appropriate controls for your specific installation.

Optional Laser Safety Viewing Windows

Laser safety viewing windows are available in a variety of materials and optical-density ranges to accommodate different laser wavelengths and applications.

The standard window size is 22.5" × 11". The larger viewing windows shown in some product images and display configurations are custom window sizes and are not the standard configuration.

Windows can be added to individual wall sections or incorporated into the access door. For applications where broad visibility is not necessary, a smaller viewing area can be used in the door rather than adding windows throughout the enclosure.

For laser welding applications, window options are also available that provide both laser protection and weld-flash attenuation.

The appropriate window should be selected based on the laser wavelength, required optical density (OD), and application-specific exposure conditions. Always consult your on-site Laser Safety Officer (LSO) when selecting laser safety viewing materials.

Material Specification Sheet

 Barrier selection is based on the irradiance (energy density) reaching the containment material — not simply the laser's rated output power.

Signage and Specifications

Modular Laser Safety Booth

Our modular laser safety booth is designed to provide a professional, configurable containment solution for industrial laser applications. The system uses rigid hardwall construction and can be sized around the equipment, access requirements, and viewing needs of the application.

Unlike our fully collapsible hardwall systems, this booth uses a more rigid modular design. The access door includes a dedicated handle and remains integrated into the structure, creating a more permanent, finished enclosure while still allowing the system to be configured to the required footprint.

The booth can be built in a wide range of sizes. Its modular construction uses approximately 25-inch-wide (2.08 ft) panels, allowing the overall enclosure dimensions to be adjusted in roughly 25-inch increments to better fit the laser equipment and available floor space.

Assembly is straightforward and typically takes approximately 10–15 minutes, depending on the size and configuration of the booth.

Laser safety viewing windows can be incorporated throughout the booth based on the requirements of the application. Our standard viewing-window size is 22.5 in × 11 in. The image shown features a larger custom viewing configuration and does not represent the standard window size.

For laser welding applications, the booth can also be configured with viewing windows that provide both laser protection and weld-flash attenuation, allowing operators to maintain visibility into the work area while addressing both hazards associated with the welding process. Window selection should be based on the laser wavelength, required optical density, and the weld-flash requirements of the application.

The booth can be configured with multiple standard-size windows, larger custom viewing areas, or a smaller localized viewing window in the access door when extensive visibility is not required. This makes it possible to balance visibility, containment, and cost based on how operators actually interact with the laser system.

Configuration options include:

  • Custom booth dimensions in approximately 25-inch (2.08 ft) increments
  • Integrated access door with handle
  • Typical assembly time of approximately 10–15 minutes
  • Standard 22.5 in × 11 in laser viewing windows
  • Larger or custom window sizes where appropriate
  • Window placement in the access door or individual wall sections
  • Multiple laser safety window materials
  • Laser welding windows providing laser protection plus weld-flash attenuation.  Confirm windows have weld flash protection.
  • Standard Class 4 or laser welding safety signage
  • Configurations designed around the footprint of the laser equipment and work area

Access & Equipment Movement

The integrated door is designed as a single-person entryway for normal operator access. Systems can be configured with multiple doors if additional entry points are needed.

For moving larger equipment in or out of the enclosure, the booth does not have to rely on the personnel door. The wheeled barrier sections can be unlocked and repositioned, creating a much larger temporary opening for equipment access. Once the equipment is in place, the sections can be returned to position and locked back together.

This provides the convenience of a dedicated personnel door for everyday use while still allowing the enclosure to open up when larger machinery, tooling, or workpieces need to be moved through the space.

Laser safety windows must be selected based on the laser wavelength, required optical density, and application-specific exposure conditions. The laser user is responsible for confirming that the selected window and containment system are appropriate for the application. Always consult your on-site Laser Safety Officer (LSO) when selecting laser safety containment and viewing materials.

The booth is designed for quick on-site setup. Each side arrives preassembled in the crate, so installation mainly consists of positioning the sections and fastening the sides together.

Typical installation time is approximately 10–20 minutes, depending on the booth size and configuration. No complex panel-by-panel assembly is required, which helps minimize setup time and gets the enclosure ready for use quickly.

LSOs (Laser Safety Officer) need to consider working environments, viewing conditions and beam delivery systems when making assessments and determining the correct laser glasses , goggles, barriers, or windows to protect against potentially hazardous laser radiation. Do not operate lasers without correct protective equipment and training.  All laser safety glasses and goggles are made for indirect viewing only.

ANSI Z136 & Hardwall Laser Safety Barriers

Engineering controls for laser controlled areas and hazardous beam containment.

ANSI Z136 Engineering Controls

ANSI Z136 standards recognize protective barriers as an engineering control used to help establish laser controlled areas and restrict access to hazardous laser radiation. Hardwall barriers are commonly used where a more permanent or higher-performance containment solution is required.

Laser Controlled Areas

Hardwall laser safety barriers are frequently used to define laser controlled areas around laser welding, laser cleaning, research, and manufacturing operations. Barrier configuration should be based on the laser system, facility layout, operating procedures, and hazard evaluation.

Hazard Evaluation & Barrier Selection

ANSI Z136 standards require protective barriers to be selected as part of a documented laser hazard evaluation. Factors such as wavelength, power, beam characteristics, viewing conditions, and Nominal Hazard Zone (NHZ) boundaries should be considered when specifying a barrier system.

Understanding Laser Barrier Protection

Laser barriers and curtains are used to help contain reflected and scattered laser radiation around a controlled work area.

Understanding how laser energy spreads through an environment is often more important than simply knowing the laser's rated power. The amount of energy reaching the containment boundary can be dramatically different from the energy present near the laser source.

This 3-minute video explains how laser energy spreads throughout a workspace and why containment requirements are often determined by the energy reaching the containment boundary rather than simply the laser's rated power.

Laser power alone does not determine containment requirements. Understanding how laser energy spreads throughout a workspace is essential when establishing an appropriate containment boundary.

Understanding Laser Barrier Protection Continued

Laser barriers and curtains are used to help contain reflected and scattered laser radiation around a controlled work area.

Understanding how laser energy spreads through an environment is often more important than simply knowing the laser's rated power. The amount of energy reaching the containment boundary can be dramatically different from the energy present near the laser source.

1. Laser Energy Typically Diffuses Through the Work Area

These examples illustrate how laser energy generally travels, reflects, scatters, and diffuses throughout a work area.

Multiple application examples are shown to reinforce the same concept: containment is based on the energy reaching the barrier location, not simply the laser's rated output power.

2. Irradiance Drops as Energy Spreads
1 / 2 Examples

2. Irradiance Drops as Energy Spreads

As laser energy begins to diffuse, it spreads over a larger area.

As the energy spreads, irradiance (energy density) drops rapidly compared with the concentrated energy near the source.

The key consideration is the amount of laser energy reaching the containment material, not simply the laser's total rated power.

Note:This is a simplified model for sufficiently scattered radiation from a rough, non-specular surface. It should not be applied to direct, collimated, focused, or specular laser radiation.

3. Barriers Contain the Controlled Area

3. Barriers Contain the Controlled Area

Laser barriers and curtains are typically used to contain reflected and scattered radiation around a controlled laser area.

Their purpose is to separate the laser work area from surrounding personnel and operations.

They are generally selected based on the expected irradiance reaching the containment boundary rather than serving as a target for a continuous direct beam exposure.

Understanding how laser energy travels, reflects, diffuses, and reaches the containment boundary is often more important than the laser's rated power alone when selecting an appropriate containment system.
Laser safety products should always be selected based on a complete hazard evaluation. Final containment selection should always be reviewed by a qualified Laser Safety Officer (LSO) or laser safety professional.
