Sunt laserele Epilog sigure de operat?

Yes, the laser is completely safe to operate. It is a Class 2 laser – 1mW CW Maximum 600-700 nm, which means that the laser tube is secured with interlock devices so it will not run with the doors of the system open. No special safety gear is required to run the laser.

Safety is at the Core of every Laser Machine we Build

Safety is not an option, an upgrade, or an accessory. It is at the foundation of each laser machine that comes out of our production facility. Every laser we design, engineer, build, and sell meets the highest standards when it comes to user safety – whether you’re in a classroom, a studio, home workshop, or industrial setting – you can count on our systems to deliver exceptional performance without compromising safety.

Our machines are engineered with a dual focus: ensuring powerful laser performance while protecting operators through intelligent safety design. From fully enclosed Class 4 lasers to safe-to-use Class 2 alignment systems, Epilog makes laser safety simple, effective, and worry free.

Laser Safety Classification

Understanding how lasers are classified helps explain how Epilog protects its users. Here’s an overview of the major laser safety classes:

What Class are Epilog Laser Machines

Class 2

Our machines are classified as Class 2 during normal operation because of the visible red diode laser pointer used for focusing and positioning. The red dot pointer helps operators identify the laser path for precise work, but it poses no hazard under normal use.

This laser:

• Operates in the 600–700 nm visible light range
• Has a maximum output of 1 mW
• Is comparable to a presentation pointer, safe for brief direct exposure

Class 4 — Fully Embedded and Safe

The high-powered laser inside Epilog machines is classified as Class 4, which means it can mark and cut materials with precision. However, during normal operation:

• The machine cabinet is closed and interlocked
• There is no human access to the laser beam
• Dual-safety circuits ensure the laser cannot fire when the door is open

Only during service (with tools and intentional bypass of interlocks) would any exposure to the Class 4 beam be possible—a rare, controlled situation.

Addressing Radiation Concerns

No Ionizing Radiation

We often hear concerns about “radiation” from laser machines. It’s important to know:

• Epilog lasers do not emit ionizing radiation (like x-rays or nuclear radiation)
• The term “radiation” here refers to non-ionizing laser light, which transfers energy without disrupting atomic structures

Safe Electromagnetic Emissions

All Epilog equipment complies with FCC and European Union electromagnetic emission standards. These emissions are:

• Well below levels considered harmful to humans
• Lower than the output from a typical mobile phone
• Harmless to surrounding electronic equipment

Why Epilog Safety Stands Out

• Dual independent safety interlocks protect users from accidental exposure
• All emission levels are certified safe by regulatory agencies
• Safety is more than a checklist at Epilog—it’s a core part of our machine design, backed by engineering, testing, and regulatory compliance.

High-Performance Lasers with Uncompromised Safety

With Epilog, you’re not just getting a top-tier laser system, you’re getting peace of mind. Whether you’re engraving wood, marking metal, or building your business, our Class 2 certification, embedded Class 4 controls, and zero-ionizing radiation design ensure you’re working with one of the safest systems on the market.
