LSKA01

The LSKA01 is a welded steel enclosure with laser-absorbing or laser-rated panel inserts on all sides, including the roof. Pneumatic lifting gates provide access for part loading and unloading, and interlock with the laser system's safety circuit to prevent laser operation when the gate is open. Viewing panels are positioned for process monitoring at a safe standoff distance.

Selection Notes

  • Required for any Class 4 laser process where an operator may be in proximity.
  • Select the cabin size (LSKA01, LSKA03, LSKA04, LSKWS) based on the laser system footprint and work piece size.
  • Confirm Performance Level D certification is accepted by the local machine safety authority.
  • Contact Pantron Automation for full safety documentation and integration guidance.

Integration Notes

  • Coordinate pneumatic gate connections (compressed air supply) during facility planning.
  • Integrate the gate safety interlock with the laser system safety PLC.
  • Plan fume extraction duct routing from within the cabin to the paired Fuchs filter unit.
  • Contact Pantron Automation for current lead times — laser protection cabins are typically project-specific.
