Sealing the Deal on Laser Safety
The patented SMARTmark® Safety Seal delivers Class 1 laser-safe integration without the need for expensive and large enclosures. The innovative design on the Safety Seal uses the part as the sixth side of the enclosure by vacuum sealing against the part, creating a light-tight, laser-safe environment.
All Safety Seals utilize a fume removal system to evacuate the marking debris in order to maintain internal cleanliness and mark quality.

The system is constantly drawing and measuring vacuum pressure on the part during the marking process. Sensors monitor the pressure, as well as part presence and cylinder position, in order to ensure that the Safety Seal meets all requirements for marking. If these safety conditions are not met or vacuum pressure drops while marking is in progress, the Safety Seal will close the safety shutter so that the laser output is interrupted. This safety circuit ensures laser safety at all times during the marking process.
