IPG Photonics Corporation provides reasonable accommodation for individuals protected by Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. We know our customers depend on our lasers and amplifiers to operate without failure in mission-critical and safety-critical applications. Our charitable contributions target education, community welfare, civic and social service programs and arts and culture.IPG Photonics and its employees are proud to champion local and global projects that are personally meaningful and that develop long-lasting relationships with these organizations. A hazard may be present if viewed with collecting optics such as during an optical alignment process.Class 3b laser systems can produce a hazard if viewed directly or by viewing secondary beams. We have a long history of supporting local non-profit organizations through a variety of in-kind, corporate and personal giving. It is important to understand the potential hazards associated with or as a result of the end use application.IPG Photonics recommends that laser users investigate any local, state, federal or governmental requirements as well as facility or building requirements that may apply to installing or using a laser or laser system.For additional information regarding Laser Safety please refer to the list below, which contains some available information:ANSI Z136.1 – 2000, American National Standard for the Safe Use of Lasers Ensure that laser enclosures are in place to prevent eye damage from visible radiation.Ensure that the work surface is properly vented. Collimated beams or beams that do not diverge rapidly as they exit the device aperture have risks that are present even at long distances from the aperture.When considering laser hazards, the most common area of concern is usually the eye. The Siegman School is a week-long program that exposes students to in-depth learning of lasers and their applications. The higher the number in the classification, the greater hazard potential the laser system has. IPG Photonics Corporation provides reasonable accommodation for individuals protected by Section 503 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Vietnam Era Veterans' Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 and Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This would include operators that are not directly using the laser system.Never look directly into the laser output port when the power is on.Set up the laser and all optical components used with the laser away from eye level.Do not install or terminate fibers or collimators when laser is active.Always switch the laser off when working with the output such as mounting the fiber or collimator into a fixture, etc. Coherence makes this light much more dangerous than non-coherent light of the same wavelength and intensity.

The Thomas F. Deutsch Fellowship in Biomedical Optics at Massachusetts General Hospital, affiliated with Harvard University, supports scientists pursuing careers in biomedical optics and is endowed through a generous donation from IPG Photonics. As a result IPG Photonics committed their resources to procure 30,000 N-95 protective masks for local health care professionals and first responders in the greatest need. These laser classifications are identified on the laser system and often Roman numerals are used to identify the class number. Also, fiber’s high surface area to volume ratio combined with its efficiency  greatly reduces heat output and corresponding cooling cost of a chiller.Aside from the positive effect that the adoption of our efficient products provides, we are committed to reducing the environmental impact from our manufacturing and increasing the sustainability of our operations. As a global leader in fiber laser innovation, IPG Photonics has partnered with leading scientific and educational institutions. If there are any questions or sections that are not understood, do not hesitate to contact the manufacturer.All operators that are in the area must be wearing appropriate laser safety eyewear prior to enabling laser emission. Legal Notice Privacy Notice Privacy Notice : IPG does not audit its suppliers to evaluate supplier compliance with IPG standards for slavery and human trafficking in supply chains. Lasers can damage the eye in different ways depending on the wavelength and output power that the user may become exposed to:Visible (400 to 700nm) and Near-infrared (IR-A, 700 to 1400nm) beams can penetrate the eye and thus cause irreversible damage to the retina, optic nerve and central portions of the eye. A DANGER label is affixed to all Class 4 laser systems. Laser safety eyewear is required while using these lasers.IPG Photonics supplies both Class 3b and Class 4 lasers and laser systems to our end-users.Please take time to read and understand the User’s Guide and familiarize yourself with the operating and maintenance instructions that have provided before using the product. Therefore because laser/amplified light has special properties there are often hazards associated during operation and potentially during service. In February, IPG donated $200,000 to local China organizations to support the aid and welfare of communities hardest hit by the corona virus. IPG provides ongoing training to employees and methods for individuals to confidentially report violations to help ensure compliance with our policies and laws.IPG views diversity as an opportunity to foster multi-cultural differences as a means of providing a more inclusive and rich company culture. The light aversion reflex should protect the user if only viewed momentarily. “The mental energy that I’m putting in creates a product that has a measurable impact on how we sell our lasers.”“IPG gave me the opportunity to become a group leader. This commitment to service does not end after the quick installation of your equipment.
