Vacuum-Compatible LS Shutters Available From Our Website
The “For use in Vacuum” option will equip the shutter with encapsulated coils for vacuum levels up to 10-6 Torr. For higher vacuum-rated applications, or questions, please contact us.
The Uniblitz® DSS20 is Back
The Uniblitz® DSS20 is a 20mm bi-stable optical shutter that features an extremely low-profile construction. The device’s lack of an external protruding actuator makes it very slim and flexible for system integration. The inherent reliability of the DSS20B comes from the fact that it contains only two moving parts: the drive ring and the blades. It is guaranteed to operate for 2,000,000 operations. This shutter is once again available and part of our standard catalog – no special order or MOQ required!
The Uniblitz® ES6B’s New Guarantee
The Uniblitz® ES6B now has a guaranteed lifetime of 50,000,000 actuations! The Uniblitz ES6B is a 6mm bi-stable laser shutter with a very low-profile construction. The lack of an external protruding actuator makes it very slim and flexible for system integration. Precision exposure control and laser switching are applications that benefit greatly from the precise, highly repeatable characteristics of the ES shutter series.
