What Safety Gate found
The JNLINK LXF-30W 30 Watt fibre laser machine was rejected at the border by German authorities. The product was found to have insufficient protection against laser radiation. Potential exposure to reflected or diffused laser rays poses risks of blindness and skin injuries.
Why this matters
Laser processing machines, especially those using 30W fibre sources, are typically high-power Class 4 devices. Without adequate enclosures, interlocks, and beam paths, users are at risk of severe injury. Machines must comply with safety standards such as EN ISO 11553-1 to ensure radiation is contained.
What buyers should check
Verify that your laser machine has a valid EC/EU Declaration of Conformity. Ensure the machine enclosure is fully intact, equipped with interlock switches on all service panels, and that the viewing window (if present) is certified for the specific wavelength of the fibre laser (typically 1064nm).
