5.4.2 

Beam Shutters 

 
The ICS-6 may operate one or more beam shutters and one or more laser interlocks. For permanent 
fixed  installations  these  may  be  directly  wired  to  the  ICS-6.  Where  there  is  any  possibility  of  the 
equipment being changed or moved it is often most convenient to be able to unplug the equipment. 
 
Lasermet provide a range of small distribution boxes which allow for convenient positioning of wall 
or surface-mounted plugs for laser interlocks and sockets for shutters. The boxes are available with 
different combinations of plugs and sockets. 
 
Most  lasers  only  have  a  single  channel  interlock  input  which  can  present  problems  if  the  safety 
system has to comply with ISO 13849 performance level ‘e’ since two methods of control are usually 
required. Some lasers have internal beam shutters which may be controlled by the ICS-6. If the laser 
has two means of disabling e.g. interlock and internal shutter it is recommended that both are used. 
Otherwise it may be necessary to consider having an external shutter in addition to the laser’s own 
interlock if a high safety integrity is required. 
 
Lasermet’s beam shutters are supplied with suitable leads to plug into the distribution boxes. Open-
ended  leads  are  provided for  laser  interlocks  allowing  the  customer to  fit  the  correct  plug  for  the 
laser. 
 
 

Laser Shutter Supply

 

(12 VDC 0.8 A maximum or 24 VDC, 3 A maximum) 

 
The ICS-6 has a built-in DC supply for operating laser shutters and is able to provide both continuous 
and  switched  supplies  using  one  of  the  Interlock  Operator  outputs.  Several  shutters  of  the  same 
type may all be powered from one Interlock Operator contact, please contact Lasermet for details if 
required. 
 

Note. The selected Interlock Operator  used for switching shutters must  not  be  used for  any other 
purpose.  

 
If  your  shutter  power  requirements  exceed  0.8  A  at  12V  or  3A  at  24VDC,  or  if  there  is  additional 
equipment such as low voltage warning signs or door locks powered by the ICS-6, the ICS-6 internal 
power  supply  may  be  insufficient.  The  maximum  total  load  that  may  be  placed  on  the  internal 
power  supply  is  4A,  which  includes  any  other  equipment  being  run  from  the  24V  supply,  such  as 
door locks, signs etc. 
 
In such cases the shutter may be run from a separate power supply. The mains input of this power 
supply  is  connected  to  the  L  OUT  and  N  OUT  terminals  of  the  mains  terminal  block  J9.  The  PSU 
output  is  fed  through  the  interlock  operator  terminals  to  operate  the  shutter.  Please  contact 
Lasermet for suitable power supplies and assistance.
