This instruction provides guidelines to Federal OSHA and Plan States compliance officers, 7(c)(1) consultants, and employee for the assessment of laser safety.ī. Subject: Guidelines for Laser Safety and Hazard AssessmentĪ. 11 of The Engravers Journal.OSHA Instruction PUB 8-1.7 AugDirectorate of Technical Support > Copyright 2006 by Davis Multimedia, Inc. One of the latest industries to begin installing lasers is the scrapbook industry. And that has proven to offer many new markets for ULS. Its USB connectivity and all com-puter-controlled operation testifies to the fact that it was intended to be used by secretaries in offices, in schools, by photographers, by salespeople in gift shops and a host of others. In fact, it was (and is) marketed for a much wider variety of applications than a traditional laser and was designed from the ground up to fit nicely in an office setting as well as on an industrial floor. It was designed with the non-professional in mind. ULSs VersaLASER was unique in its original con-cept. The smaller version has many applications in gift shops and the like and it, of course, costs less money, but for the sign shop/engraving shop/industrial user, the VL-300 is the laser of choice and will quickly recover any difference in initial cost. This is not a negative since typical engraving shops should be looking at the VL-300 anyway since it allows a full sheet of engraving metal or a quarter sheet of engrav-ing plastic to be placed on the table. Although it can be used on the VL-200, most users will want to have more power than the VL-200 can offer. The HPDFO lens can be used on the VL-300 and all the other ULS models currently in production. The more powerful the laser, the more effective and versatile it will be both in normal CO > 2 operation and with the HPDFO lens. The VL-200 comes in either a 10, 25 or 30 watt version while the VL-300 also offers a wider variety of wattages ranging from 10 to 50 watts, with the most common being 30, 40 or 50 watts. VersaLASERs come in two sizes the VL-200 which is a 12" x 16" laser and the VL-300 which is the 12" x 24" version. Lets start at the beginningҗa fancy lens is nothing without a good laser to hang it on. This is really exciting technology and I was anxious to try it out for myself. This lens allows a 30 watt CO > 2 laser to actually mark metal! This is something CO > 2 lasers just cant normally do and certainly not the 30 watt variety. A few months back, Universal Laser Systems (ULS) and EJ agreed that a product review of their VersaLASER VL-300 with emphasis placed on its breakthrough lens technology High Power Density Focusing OpticsӔ (HPDFO) would be beneficial to EJ readers.
