Laservision Mineral Glass Laser Protection Windows
Mineral glass laser safety windows are commonly used as observation windows in medium and high power laser applications, such as welding, cutting, drilling, and additive manufacturing, and — when designed accordingly – allow visual process observation without the need for laser safety eyewear. In many cases, our mineral glass windows are made of a glass laminate composed of the laser safety filter itself and an additional layer of neutral glass. In the event of a direct laser hit or damage, this design prevents broken glass from falling out – similar to how a car windscreen reacts.
For quality reasons, the maximum possible dimension for a single piece is limited to 210 × 297 mm. However, for larger areas, lattice window structures can be manufactured according to customer requirements. Mineral glass laser safety windows continue to provide higher levels of protection than their plastic counterparts in many cases and are particularly advantageous in NIR and IR applications as their excellent daylight transmission and low colouration mean that they offer exceptional colour recognition.
In order to meet the growing requirements in industry and research, laservision offers mineral glass windows with certification in the IR range up to 25 µm.

Frames for Laser Safety Windows
Laservision window frames for the standard window dimensions 200 × 100 mm² and 297 × 210 mm² enable the rapid, secure installation of both our mineral glass and plastic laser safety windows for use in laser applications such as welding, cutting, drilling, and marking and in additive manufacturing processes in laser enclosures, walls, partitions and doors. They are manufactured from grey, powder-coated sheet steel. These frames can accommodate windows with a thickness of 3 – 13 mm. The frames incorporate sponge rubber to protect the windows. This protection also prevents dirt from getting into the frame.
