IPG Photonics Workstations

IPG Photonics IX-series 

enclosed

 laser workstations are Class 1 laser products. While 

performing their intended function, Class 1 products must prevent human exposure 

to emissions beyond those indicated in Title 21, Volume 8, Chapter I, Subchapter J, 

Part 1040.10, Table I. Therefore they typically pose no known laser radiation hazard to 

operators, routine maintenance personnel, or the public.
Although the IX-series 

enclosed

 laser systems have an overall Class 1 rating, they do 

incorporate UV lasers that generate radiation levels exceeding the Class 1 limit. These 

include Class 4 levels of UV radiation, and sometimes Class 2 levels of visible red 

radiation from a HeNe alignment laser. Therefore, when operating the beam outside 

the enclosure, Class 1 safety assurances may no longer apply.
IPG Photonics workstations that are 

not enclosed

 are Class 4 products.

Airborne Contaminant Hazards

Laser processing generates hazardous airborne contaminants.

The UV laser beam etches materials by breaking down molecular bonds, resulting 

in high-velocity ejection of vaporized materials. This process, called ablation, can 

release hazardous fumes and airborne toxic materials.

The UV laser beam can also interact with the air to generate toxic ozone gas.

To protect personnel from such hazards, IPG Photonics 

enclosed

 workstations use 

various methods to isolate the processing area, prevent ozone formation, and exhaust 

airborne contaminants. In some environments, personnel may need to wear 

respiratory protective devices for safe operation of laser devices.

Laser Gas Hazards

IPG Photonics systems may use compressed gases for operating an excimer laser and 

for purging the beam delivery system. 

Excimer lasers typically use four gases: helium, neon, fluorine, and krypton or 

argon. The laser may be configured to connect to four separate gas bottles, or to 

connect to one bottle with helium and one with a mixture of the other gases.

Some systems use nitrogen to purge the beam delivery system.

These gases pose several kinds of hazards: high pressure, asphyxiation, and fluorine 

toxicity.

High Pressure

High-pressure gas bottles can be very dangerous if damaged. When exchanging gas 

bottles, take care to handle them safely. If the primary valve on a pressurized gas 

bottle is damaged, the escaping gas can produce significant thrust, turning the bottle 

into a projectile. For this reason, you must make sure that bottles are restrained at all 

times. Always use a bottle cart to transport gas bottles, and never roll or carry them by 

hand. When moving a gas bottle, make sure its safety cap is in place.
