What Safety Gate found
The Safety Gate alert (SR/00789/26) identifies that an LD Laser bevel cutting machine lacks necessary protective measures. Authorities report that the device exposes users to hazardous radiation, violating the requirements of the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and standards EN 60825-1 (Laser product classification) and EN 60825-4 (Laser guards). The marketing of this product has been banned.
Why this matters
Laser processing machines with high power ratings (such as this 60 kW system) present extreme risks of eye and skin damage if the beam path is not properly enclosed. European safety standards mandate specific guarding and interlocking to ensure that harmful radiation is contained.
What buyers should check
Verify that the manufacturer provides a valid EC/EU Declaration of Conformity. Ensure the machine includes robust, redundant interlocking systems and certified protective enclosures as required by EN ISO 14119 and EN 60825-4.
