The ICS Buddy is Lasermet’s portable laser interlock monitor and controller that can be used to view and control remotely the status of laser interlock controllers and laser shutters in a lab.
It provides portable control enabling the user to just walk around with the tablet from office to other locations and remotely view and control the safety of the laser lab. It just needs the local wi-fi signal to stay in touch.
The ICS Buddy can see the status of the whole lab remotely in LabView – ideal for numerous interlocks, shutters and LED warning signs. It acts as another interlock controller that duplicates the main controller. It is a tablet that connects using wi-fii and it monitors the status of the doors, switches, shutters, signs and the laser and can also be used with Lasermet’s Safety Logic Plus, the logic-based safety control system. It enables the laser to fire only when all of the safety switches are closed.
