Piezo Shutters

XRS1-900 Shutter used to block light beam

Piezo shutters rapidly change between the open and closed condition making them suitable for use in beam lines. Each shutter is made using two opposed piezoelectric actuators with customizable teeth that block the beam in the default closed condition and open when energized letting the beam pass through. The material of the blocking teeth can be substituted to increase resistance to wear from beam emissions. Shutters are ultra-high vacuum compatible. For dynamic applications, a K-type thermocouple can be incorporated to monitor temperature and prevent overheating. Use with Matched Driver -  VF-500-XRS.
