A note about Laser Safety

Safety is becoming an ever-increasing part of standardizing in traditional areas as products and in newer areas such as processes and services. Safety standards should, and will, serve to help protect the public. Compliance with a safety standard does not abrogate an employer from his legal responsibilities; conformity may help to protect the employer in a lawsuit. The growing fear in the laser use community may be the law courts!

EWT patented  "Non-Hazardous" Roll Feed Laser™ technology. As an addition to our standard line of RFL™ systems, EdgeWISE Tools offers competent and experienced laser engineering services for custom solutions.
