Any source of power which provides the energy required to drive a piece of machinery or equipment and includes, but is not limited to: electrical, steam, hydraulic, water, air, mechanical, radiation, and thermal forms of energy.

Laser classes are categories assigned to lasers based on their potential to cause harm to humans, particularly to the eyes and skin. The classification system is designed to indicate the level of risk associated with the laser's power output and wavelength, guiding the necessary safety precautions for their use. The classes range from Class 1 (safest) to Class 4 (most hazardous).

Class 1: Safe under all conditions of normal use. Used in CD/DVD players, laser printers, barcode scanners. No special precautions needed.

Class 1M: Safe except when viewed with optical instruments. Used in fiber optic systems, measurement tools. Avoid using optical instruments to view the beam.

Class 2: Safe for brief exposure due to blink reflex. Used in laser pointers, alignment lasers. Do not stare into the beam.

Class 2M: Safe for brief exposure unless viewed with optical instruments. Used in alignment tools, rangefinders. Avoid using optical instruments to view the beam.

Class 3R: Low risk of injury, up to 5 mW. Used in laser pointers, alignment lasers. Avoid direct eye exposure.

Class 3B: Can cause eye and skin injuries, up to 500 mW. Used in research, some medical devices. Use safety goggles and avoid direct exposure.

Class 4: High risk, can cause severe injuries and fire hazards, above 500 mW. Used in industrial cutting, welding, medical, research. Use protective equipment and follow strict safety measures.

Fiber Lasers
High-efficiency lasers using doped optical fibers; excellent beam quality, used in cutting, welding, and telecommunications.

Continuous Wave (CW) Lasers
Emit steady, uninterrupted beams; used for continuous material processing and research, require robust cooling.

Pulsed Lasers
Emit high-energy bursts; ideal for precision applications like micro-machining, engraving, and medical procedures.

Fiber Pulsed Lasers
Combine fiber laser efficiency with pulsed operation; used for precise tasks in micro-machining, engraving, and medical fields.

Gas Lasers
Use gases like CO2 or helium-neon; high beam quality, common in cutting, engraving, and scientific research.

Solid-State Lasers
Use solid gain media like crystals or glass; versatile applications including medical procedures, material processing, and laser ranging.

Dye Lasers
Use liquid dyes as the gain medium; tunable wavelengths, used in spectroscopy and medical treatments.

Semiconductor Lasers (Diode Lasers)
Compact, efficient lasers using semiconductor materials; common in communications, barcode scanning, and laser printing.

DPI, or dots per inch, is a measure of the resolution of a printed document or digital scan. The higher the dot density, the higher the resolution of the print or scan. Typically, DPI is the measure of the number of dots that can be placed in a line across one inch, or 2.54 centimeters.

"WiFi enabled" means that a device or product is equipped with WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) capabilities, allowing it to connect to wireless local area networks (WLANs) and access the internet or communicate with other devices over a WiFi network.

When a device is described as "WiFi enabled," it indicates that the device has a WiFi radio or chipset installed, which enables it to wirelessly connect to WiFi networks in homes, offices, public places, or any other location with WiFi coverage.

An emergency stop switch is a safety mechanism used to shut off machinery in an emergency, when it cannot be shut down in the usual manner.

All of our products come with full manufacturer's warranty. If you need to make a claim - all you need is the tax invoice from your purchase. If you lose your original tax invoice and need to make a claim, please let us know and we'll re-issue it to you.

Items over 25kg must be packed on a pallet or crate so they can easily be moved by forklift.

If you are ordering an item over 32kg - it will require a forklift or loading dock at the shipping destination. If you do not have these facilities at the shipping destination you will require a tail lift delivery. Please select this optional ADD-ON. Alternatively - you can collect from the depot.
