Abstract
A workroom partition divides a workroom interior of a workroom and a workroom surroundings. The workroom is provided with a laser processing device. The workroom partition includes on its inner side facing the laser processing device, a laser beam reflector formed from pre-fabricated reflective sheet of material having a grained reflective surface structure that faces the laser processing device, by means of which the majority of laser radiation incident on the laser beam reflector and originating from the laser processing device is diffusely reflectable.
Claims25
A workroom partition between a workroom interior of a workroom and a workroom surroundings, where the workroom is provided with a laser processing device, the workroom partition comprising:
- on its inner side facing the laser processing device, a laser beam reflector formed from pre-fabricated reflective sheet of material having a grained reflective surface structure that faces the laser processing device, by means of which the majority of laser radiation incident on the laser beam reflector and originating from the laser processing device is diffusely reflectable.
A workroom comprising:
- a laser processing device;
- and
- a workroom partition that separates a workroom interior from a workroom surroundings and houses the laser processing device, wherein the workroom partition comprises:
- on its inner side facing the laser processing device, a laser beam reflector formed from pre-fabricated reflective sheet of material having a grained reflective surface structure that faces the laser processing device, by means of which the majority of laser radiation incident on the laser beam reflector and originating from the laser processing device is diffusely reflectable.
A method comprising:
- obtaining a pre-fabricated reflective sheet of material having a grained reflective surface structure;
- forming a workroom partition at least in part from the obtained pre-fabricated reflective sheet such that the grained surface structure faces an interior of a workroom, where the workroom partition separates the workroom interior from the workroom surroundings;
- housing a workpiece and a laser processing device including a laser in the interior of the workroom such that a laser beam from the laser is at least partly directed to the workpiece for processing of the workpiece;
- and
- diffusely reflecting a majority of laser radiation incident on the grained surface structure such that laser radiation is mostly contained within the workroom interior without causing damage to the workroom interior.
