  • Try the Alf Welding Helmet on Lasermet’s Booth C13000

    It’s really cool, interlocked with a wide viewing angle and designed to protect you...
    but why is it called Passive Alf?

    Passive Alf is the name attributed to the latest safety helmet designed specifically for hand held laser welding applications

    Although it looks similar to conventional designs, the passive laser welding helmet has inbuilt laser wavelength filtering to prevent the user absorbing high amounts of laser radiation emanating from the laser welding operation.

    User safety is paramount and using this helmet will reduce the amount of laser energy transmitted to a safe level in the event that there is either direct hit or a high level of reflection from the laser welding process.


    The helmet has internal micro-switches that must be closed for the laser to be enabled. These dual channel switches are closed by the user simply wearing the helmet and closing down the visor. If the visor is opened or if the helmet is removed, the laser is immediately disabled. In addition the interlocked enclosure door must also be closed to enable the laser.

    The Alf helmet is connected to the Laser Interlock Controller located in the enclosure. This Controller is also connected to other interlock switches on the enclosure door and only enables the laser once they are all closed. The Dolphin Laser Safety Curtain Pod and Laser Castle Lite are ideal for laser welding containment.

  • The Dolphin Laser Safety Pod is an 2.4m (8ft) cube that supports laser blocking curtains to enable users of handheld laser welding devices to work without endangering surrounding workers from laser radiation.

    This is a low cost-cost solution to protect personnel outside the pod.

  • Lasermet has launched the Laser Castle Lite, a low-cost, self-assembly, laser safety cabin ideal
    for small laser operations including small laser robots used for cutting, cladding or welding, as
    well as for Hand-held laser welders.

    Laser Castle Lite is an interlocked, modular-build, laser safety cabin designed specifically to protect co-workers outside
    the cabin from the potentially dangerous effects from high energy laser radiation.


    This low-cost cabin arrives as a flat-pack in a shipping crate, and is easily assembled on site by the customer. It is supplied
    with a manually operated door, safety interlock switch, dual message LED warning sign, Emergency Stop break glass,
    and internal Emergency stop button – all linked to the interlock control system.

    Being modular, it is constructed from the same laser blocking material as the Laser Castle cabin (which is currently in
    service all over the world) and to enable low-cost ventilation, the cabin has an open roof void. The panels are certified
    to BS EN IEC 60825-4. The standard cabin is 3 x 3 x 2.4m including interlocks without the roof.

    The Laser Interlock Controller is mounted on a hanging bracket inside the cabin with the internal LED
    warning sign, emergency stop button, laser interlock operator connector, and two inputs from the Alf helmets.

  • Passive Alf is the interlock controlled, laser welding safety helmet for hand held laser welders.

    The Alf and laser both connect to the interlock controller to ensure the laser will only work when the helmet is worn and the visor closed. Combine this with the interlocked Dolphin laser welding enclosure and you have made laser welding as safe as practical. It is only when the door is closed and the helmet is worn with the visor down that the interlock controller will enable the laser.

    As soon as the visor is raised the laser is instantly disabled. However, the light transmission is still sufficient to permit continuous working without lifting the visor to see the weld. UV and laser wavelengths are reduced to safe levels by the wide angled visor. No laser goggles are needed.
