Newport has launched the OTS-LSC laser safety curtain, the latest addition to its Smarttable OTS optical table system family.
The OTS-LSC is an integrated laser safety curtain that connects directly to the Smarttable-OTS overhead shelf.
The curtain conforms to ANSI standards and can withstand exposure levels up to 200W/cm2 for 100 seconds, based upon a 5mm beam diameter.
The OTS-LSC attaches directly to the OTS or ATS overhead shelf system to provide an integrated, laser safe, optical table system, which can be easily relocated or repositioned with the lab.
This is said to provide an ideal solution for a range of applications, including microscopy, holography, and laser electro-optic studies.
The OTS-LSC is claimed to be the first laser curtain that is integrated into the support structure of an optical table, which reduces acquisition costs, reduces installation time, and allows for easy mobility.
The 4ft-tall curtain is designed to provide a 12in gap around the perimeter of the table; when installed at its maximum height of 78.5in, it drapes below the table surface by 8in.
The OTS-LSC is offered in several standard sizes to fit the most popular optical-table sizes.
If a wider working perimeter is needed, customers can purchase a larger curtain.
Newport can also provide customised curtain sizes and special materials upon request.
