 ST Operation Manual 

WARNING 

WORKING AROUND HIGH-POWERED LASERS 

CAN BE DANGEROUS 

Laser Mechanisms, Inc.’s cutting heads must be 
operated with the cutting head interlock switch 
connected. The switch must be CLOSED when the 
head is properly attached. In the event of a crash 
and the cutting head becoming dislodged from its 
normal operating position, the switch must be 
OPEN. 

This interlock switch must be connected 

in a circuit in such a way that it will immediately 
turn off the laser and stop all machine motion.

 

Check the wiring diagrams for your system.  

Serious personal injury and/or equipment 
damage can occur if the head becomes 
dislodged and:  

 

The head interlock is not connected 
properly.  

 

Any interlock in the Laser Mechanisms’ 
product or laser system is defeated.  

Laser Mechanisms, Inc. assumes no responsibility 
or liability for interlock switches or circuits and all 
interlocks are the sole responsibility of the purchaser 
of this head. 

It is the responsibility of the integrator or end user to 
install, connect and activate all interlocks in 
compliance with the applicable ANSI, CEN, DIN, etc. 
standard. 

All wiring should be done by personnel 
knowledgeable in electrical wiring and in accordance 
with the national and local electrical codes. 

DISCLAIMER 

The information in this manual is subject to change 
without notice. 

Laser Mechanisms, Inc. makes no warranty of any 
kind with regard to the material in this manual, 
including but not limited to, the warranties or 
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. 

Laser Mechanisms, Inc. shall not be liable for errors 
contained herein or for incidental or consequential 
damages in connection with furnishing, performance 
or use of this product.
