PHOTYX

Laser engineering. Safer. Smarter. Faster.

Five desktop instruments for laser safety officers and process engineers. Classification, beam geometry, wobble analysis, weld and cut parameters — every figure live engine output, traced back to clause.

Classify a laser system against IEC 60825-1:2014 — CW or pulsed, point source or extended, single wavelength or multi-band — and see exactly which clause and correction factor produced the answer. The full 1 / 1M / 2 / 2M / 3R / 3B / 4 ladder, both measurement conditions, C₄ / C₆ / C₅ shown on the face of the report.

Classification is the starting point, not the whole job. The same engine drives your risk assessments, local rules, grab cards, and eyewear requirements — every field on every document traced back to the clause or regulation that put it there, not typed in from memory.

The knowledge stays

START & CURF · PERSISTENT LIBRARIES

Your best welder retires on Friday. On Monday, what does the shop still know?

In most places the answer is: whatever was written on a card taped to the machine. START and CURF are built so the answer is everything.

Every weld and every cut is a named record — filed under the job it was made for, carrying its material pair, thickness, gas, instrument, quality grade and the full parameter window that produced it. Nothing is a scratch calculation that closes and disappears.

Records earn their status rather than claiming it. A weld starts as a draft, becomes in trial when it's on a coupon, and only reaches qualified once it's proven. A cut carries its ISO 9013 range and a proven flag. Ten years in, the library isn't a folder of files — it's the accumulated process knowledge of the business, searchable by material, thickness, gas, machine or quality range.

How PHOTYX works

THREE COMMITMENTS

Engines, not lookup tables

Every figure is computed at the moment you generate it, from the standard's formulae and constants. Change an input and the whole document follows — no stale numbers surviving in a template.

Windows, not single numbers

Process outputs come as a centre and a range, because that's what the physics supports. Advisories fire on unreachable wavelengths, thickness mismatch, and quality ceilings — amber warnings, never silent blocks.

Your name on the document

Output carries your organisation's letterhead as primary. PHOTYX is a discreet maker's mark in the footer. The work is yours; the instrument just has to be right.

Every figure traces back to a clause, not a magic number. PHOTYX encodes the formulae, constants and clause references from the source standards — it does not reproduce their text. Figures must be confirmed against measurement during product testing.
