Hot Profiler 5 Safety information

2 Safety information
This product is classified according to Safety of Laser Products IEC 60825-1, see type label or
technical data for actual laser Class for this product.

The laser beam emitted from the product is in the visible spectra (400nm – 700 nm).
.
Laser light can damage the eye. Avoid staring into the laser beam!

2.1 Classification of laser products

The Norm IEC 60825 is an International Standard, describing handling and demands of laser
product. We reference to the latest version IEC 60825-1:2007 and IEC 60825-14:2004 (User
guide). Every manufacturer of laser products is obligated to classify according to this norm.

Class 1: Laser products which are normally safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions
of use either because of the inherently low emission of the laser themselves, or
because they are totally enclosed and human access to higher levels of internal
laser radiation is not possible during normal operation.
Protection requirements for Class 1: Ensure that the conditions for Class 1
operation are maintained. If access to levels of laser radiation in excess of the
limit for Class 1 could occur, for example during servicing of an embedded laser
product, or in the case of an expanded-beam laser by using external optics to
reduce the size of divergence of the emitted beam then the protection
requirements of the appropriate higher class apply.

Class 1M: Laser products which exceed the permitted accessible emission limits of Class 1
but which, because of the geometrical spread of the emitted radiation, cannot
cause harmful levels of exposure to the unaided eye. However, the safety limit
for ocular exposure can be exceeded, and injury can occur, if magnifying
viewing instruments are used. Such instruments include binoculars and
telescopes in the case of large-diameter collimated beams, or magnifying lenses
and microscopes in the case of highly divergent beams. Hazardous exposure can
also occur if the dimensions of the laser beam (its diameter or divergence) are
reduced by the use of optical components in the beam path.
Protection requirements for Class 1M: Avoid the use of magnifying viewing
aids or instruments (such as binoculars, telescopes, microscopes and magnifying
lenses, but not spectacles or contact lenses). Avoid placing optical devices in the
emitted beam that could cause the concentration of the laser radiation to be
Hot Profiler 6 Safety information

increased. Do not direct the beam into areas where other people may be present
if thre is a likelihood of the people in those areas using telescopes or binoculars
to look directly into the beam.

Class 2: Laser products emitting low-level of visible radiation (that is, at wavelengths
between 400 nm and 700 nm) which are safe for the skin but which are not
inherently safe for the eyes, but for which aye protection is normally afforded by
natural aversion responses to bright light. Accidental eye exposure is therefore
normally safe, although the natural aversion response can be overridden
intentionally by deliberately staring into the beam and can be influenced by
taking alcohol or drugs.
Protection requirements for Class 2: Avoid staring into the beam (i.e.
deliberate viewing of the laser source) or pointing the beam at other people.

Class 2M: Laser products emitting levels of visible radiation that exceed the permitted
accessible emission limits of Class 2 but which, because of the geometrical
spread of the emitted radiation, protection of unaided eye is normally afforded
by natural aversion responses to bright light However, the aversion response
may not provide sufficient protection, and injury can occur, if magnifying
viewing instruments are used. Such instruments include binoculars and
telescopes in the case of large-diameter collimated beams, or magnifying lenses
and microscopes in the case of highly divergent beams. Hazardous exposure can
also ocucur if the dimensions of the laser beam (its diameter or divergence) are
reduced by the use of optical components in the beam path.
Protection requirements for Class 2M: Avoid the use of magnifying viewing
aids or instruments (such as binoculars, telescopes, microscopes and magnifying
lenses, but not spectacles or contacts lenses). Avoid placing optical devices in
the emitted beam, which could cause the concentration of the laser radiation to
be increased. Avoid staring into the beam (i.e. deliberate viewing of the laser
source) or pointing the beam at other people.

Class 3R Laser products having a level of accessible emission up to five times the limit
for Class 1 (if invisible) or Class 2 (if visible). The maximum permissible
exposure may be exceeded but the risk of injury is low.
Protection requirements for Class 3R: Prevent direct eye exposure to the
beam or pointing the beam at other people.

Class 3B Laser products having a level of accessible emission, which can be harmful to
the eyes, whether magnifying viewing aids are used or not. Class 3B products
can also be harmful to the skin at output levels approaching the upper limit or
this class.
Protection requirements for Class 3B: Prevent eye (and in some cases skin)
exposure to the beam. Guard against unintentional beam reflections.

Class 4 Laser products having a level of accessible emission, which can be harmful to
both the eyes and the skin. Diffuse reflections of the laser radiation may also be
hazardous. The laser emission can also be sufficient to ignite material, on which
it impinges, and to generate harmful radiation or fume hazards by interaction
with target materials.
Hot Profiler 7 Safety information

Protection requirements for Class 3B: Prevent eye and skin exposure to the
beam, and to diffuse reflections (scattering) of the beam. Protect against
interaction hazards such as fire and fume.

2.2 Default protective control measures for laser products

CLASS PROTECTIVE CONTROL MEASURES
These should be implemented unless a risk assessment justifying the adotion
of alternative protective control measures has been undertaken
1 No protective control measures are necessary under conditions of
normal operation. (This may not be the case under conditions of
maintenance or service.)
In the case of embedded laser products containing a laser of higher
power, follow instructions given on the warning label and supplied
by the manufacturer.
Special precautions may be needed for on-site servicing of
embedded laser products.
1M Prevent direct viewing of the laser source through magnifying
viewing instruments, such as binoculars, telescopes, microscopes,
optical sights or magnifying lenses.
Prevent the use of any external optics that could decrease the beam
divergence or its diameter.
2 Do not stare into the beam.
Do not direct the beam at other people or into areas where other
people unconnected with the laser work might be present.
2M Do not stare into the beam.
Do not direct the beam at other people or into areas where other
people unconnected with the laser work might be present.
Ensure the beam is always terminated at a suitable non-specular
(i.e. non mirror-like) surface.
Prevent direct viewing of the laser source through magnifying
viewing instruments, such as binoculars, telescopes, microscopes,
optical sights or magnifying lenses.
Prevent the use of any external optics that could decrease the beam
divergence or its diameter
3R Prevent direct eye exposure to the beam.
Do not direct the beam at other people or into areas where other
people unconnected with the laser work might be present.
3B and 4 Class 3B and Class 4 laser products should not be used without
first carrying out a risk assessment to determine the protective
control measures necessary to ensure safe operation.
Where reasonably practice, use engineering means, as specified in
IEC 60825-1, to reduce the class of the laser to below Class 3B.
(This will normally mean completely enclosing the laser radiation
to form a Class 1 laser product.)
Hot Profiler 8 Safety information

2.3 Common Rules

Generally laser light is dangerous and can damage the eye!

Irrespective of laser class you shall avoid stare into the laser. Even unintentional reflections
shall be reduced as much as possible.
LIMAB Sensors are developed, manufactured and classified according to IEC 60825-1.
The mounting location shall be carefully planned, not only for normal operation, but also for
maintenance and service.

LIMAB sensors are always subordinated components within a system (except LMS 6048).
The sensor always needs a permanent bracket and a permanent installation. It is within the
responsibility of the system designer and the user of the sensors to follow the rules given in
the IEC 60825-1 standard.

A LIMAB system (normally including several LIMAB sensors) is classified according to IEC
60825-1

Normally are the eyes natural aversion response to bright light a good protection of the eye,
i.e. normally the blink reflex of the eye prevents the laser beam from hitting the retina, this
assumption is not allowed to do for lasers of Class 3B and Class 4. This aversion response can
be overridden intentionally by deliberately staring into the beam, and can be influenced by
taking alcohol or drugs.

The following remarks for the laser classes are only valid for laser in the visible range (400
nm -700 nm).

2.4 Remarks for Laser Class 2M and 3R

Care should be taken to prevent unintentional specular (mirror like) reflection of laser light.
Open beam path should be located above or below the eye level.
The laser beam should be terminated where possible at the end of its useful path by a material
that is diffuse and of such a colour and reflectivity as to make beam positioning possible while
still minimising the reflection hazards.
The laser should only be operated in a controlled area.

2.5 Remarks for Laser Class 3B

Follow the rules for class 2M and 3R lasers.

A responsible person shall be trained by the supplier or by an approved external organisation.

This person will be internal laser safety officer, responsible for who has access to hazard area.

A risk assessment must be done before the sensor is in operation.

A key operated master control shall be installed. The key shall be removable and the laser
radiation shall not be accessible when the key is removed.
A normal power connector is not allowed to use in this permanent installation.
Hot Profiler 9 Safety information

A remote interlock connector (a switch that can deactivate the lasers shall be integrated into
the system, if the sensor lacks this connector shall the system cut the power supply to the
sensor.

Eye protection is required if there is any possibility of viewing either direct or spectrally
reflected beam, or of viewing a diffuse reflection not complying with the conditions of item 3.

The entrances to areas should be posted with a standard laser sign.

If the laser is built in to a protection box, the “laser on” indicator will be invisible. Under
these circumstances it’s recommendable to have an external warning light that illuminates
when the laser is on.

Laser beam shall be terminated beyond its use to minimize the risk of direct viewing.

2.7 Divergent laser beams (laser lines)

For Line lasers and sensors with a divergent laser beam that has a laser Class higher than
Class 1 or Class 1M (Class 1 is safe at all distances and Class 1M is safe 100mm from the
laser and beyond) it is possible to calculate the NOHD (Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance). At
this distance (and beyond) is it safe to view the laser, (irrespective of laser Class you shall
avoid stare into the laser) the amount of laser light entering the eye corresponds to laser Class
1 or lower.
Hot Profiler 10 Safety information

2.8 Risk Assessment

According to IEC 60825 must a risk assessment for Laser products with Class 3B be done
before the product is in operation. How to make a risk assessment is stated in IEC 60825-14.

The risk assessment shall identify potential injurious situations during all reasonably
foreseeable situations, including those during installation, normal operation, maintenance,
service, reasonably foreseeable miss uses, and failure.

Some foreseeable risks during different situations are:

Normal operation:
If the end stop for the laser is the same as for the boards will the end stop
eventually be polished (if it is made of metal) and be a mirror like surface.
A recommended action to reduce / remove the hazard is:
Repaint the surface regularly.

Installation:
Misdirected laser (does not hit the end stop)
A recommended action to reduce / remove the hazard is:
No persons shall be in the area behind the end stop during
installation.
Adjustment of photocell:
Recommended actions to reduce / remove the hazard are:
Sensor shall be deactivated during adjustment of photocell or laser
safety glasses shall be used.
Maintenance:
Cleaning of Sensor windows and photocell:
A recommended action to reduce / remove the hazard is:
Deactivate the sensor during maintenance.

Service:
Misdirected laser (does not hit the end stop)
A recommended action to reduce / remove the hazard is:
No persons shall be in the area behind the end stop during
installation.
Adjustment/replacement of photocell:
Recommended actions to reduce / remove the hazard are:
Sensor shall be deactivated during adjustment of photocell or laser
safety glasses shall be used.

All service done when the sensor is active (laser is active) shall be done by a trained person
fully aware of laser hazards, the information in chapter Safety is not sufficient for a safe
service.

HotProfiler 74 PC-software

[Link] probes to stop Number of invalid measurements within the last 1000ms from
each PreciCura or Shadow sensor. If condition is met the object is
not present for that probe.

Object present (No of probes) To detect a bar or tube, and start collecting profiles, a certain
number of probes have to have object present.
Minimum is 1 and maximum is the number of active probes.
Note! If parameter exceeds the number of active probes, it is not
possible to collect profiles.

Invalid X-area If both X and Y value for a raw measurement is less than these
Invalid Y-area parameters, the values will not be used.
Ex X and Y-area is 7mm, means that all values with a X or Y-
coordinate less than +/-7mm will not be used

Max valid probe value Max probe value to be accepted as a measurement value

Collect mode Angular Normal mode for rotating HP 390/450

A complete profile is collected during a angular
rotation of 20º (Measuring interval)
Timer Normal mode for static HPS 390
A complete profile is collected during a timer
period from 50 … 200ms. The interval is
presetable.
The HP390/450 can use this mode when rotation
is not working, but only round object can be
measured.

that location. These sensors can be connected to either CAN-bus, the Sensor- or the Encoder
CAN-bus. The addresses are BaseAdress + 18 for the X-sensor, and BaseAdress + 19 for the
Y-sensor.

A PreciCuraMR can be used to measure the length (height). The incoming distance values are
averaged with the “PreciCura sample average length” parameter. If the parameter is 8 and
the measuring rate of the PreciCuraMR is 1ms, the efficient input data rate is 1 value/8ms.
All measured value during one complete profile is averaged to give the AvgHeight.
To create max and min values the parameter “Height Max/Min N values” is used.
The length(height) evaluation is only made between the profiles “Height Start/Stop profile
No”
Example: “Height Max/Min N values” is 50 and “PreciCura sample average length” is
8 and profile collect time is 1 sec, and “Height Max/Min N values” is “8 / 11.
HotProfiler 109 PC-software

Total height 1000 values are measured by the PreciCuraMR during one profile. 1000/8 = 125
values are used for max/min evaluation. The median value of each 50 values in profile 8 are
used for the max/min calculation. In this example we only get 2 values/profile. When we
reach profile 11 the final max and min are calculated from max/min values between profile 8
and 11.

Item Description

Laser Doppler Length and height measuring function.

For length measuring of bars a laser doppler gauge is used, and the
final length is calculated as: Doppler final length value + Offset.

For lengtht measuring of short bars or height measuring of rings a

PreciCuraMR gauge is used. The final height length is calculated as:

Average PrecCuraMR reading between Height Start/Stop profile

No + Position Offset + Ext Position offset.

The Position offset is a parameter that will be changed after a height

calibration.
Ext Position offset is given from external level2 system via TCP
communication

Com port Selection of comport. If not used set to “Not

Used”

Type Type of gauge:

BLM9000, for measuring length of bar
PreciCuraMR, for measuring height/length
when bar/ring is at leading edge.

Final length max delay Max delay for reading final length after
detection of end of bar.

Offset Used for doppler length measuring

Position offset Automatically set at height calibration.

Height Max/Min N Filter length in number of measured values

values for height max/min values.

Height Start/Stop Profile number interval for height

profile No Avg/Max/Min evaluation

Height scale factor Linearity correction factor.

Rear Centre Position Sensor Type The sensor can be either PreciCura SR or
MR

Angular Position The exact angular position of the sensor.

The nominal value is 0 for X, and 90 for Y.

[Link].2 Verification tool

The verification tool has been produced with high tolerances and has been certified by the
Swedish test institute SP. It must be handled with care to conserve it´s delicate geometry.

First mount the base plate. Use the same groove and location hole as for the calibration unit.
The brackets shall point towards the sensor side of the gauge.
HotProfiler 150 Operator Software

Mount the centre pin. Insert the shaft to the holder and tighten the locking screw.

Mount the measurement target and the ring on the shaft. Now you control the horizontal and
vertical alignment and the centre position of the tool. First control the horizontal alignment by
turning the target to a horizontal position, the red laser points should hit the angled surface in
both ends of the target. If they don´t, tilt the object by adjusting the nut (red arrow).
Turn the target to a vertical position and repeat the procedure, now use the nut with a blue
arrow.
Repeat this procedure a few times until the result is good. You may have to adjust the centre
position of the shaft to get a good result. The centre position is adjusted with the three pin
screws holding the triangular base plate.
HotProfiler 151 Operator Software

After the alignment is completed the gauge is ready for verification. For repeated verification
remove the ring and the target and put them back again.
