The LOW COST SH-10 laser beam safety (interlock) shutter group of products is intended to protect the user of low power and moderate power laser beams from causing damage. The shutter consists of a blade mounted on a rotary solenoid with a limited rotation angle. When the shutter is powered, the blade moves to the "ON" position and clears the path for the laser beam. When NO CURRENT or when the power is turned off, the return spring of the shutter causes the blade to JUMP TO THE CLOSED (OFF) POSITION and block the laser beam.
Aperture size is 0.5" (13mm) and 0.42" dia through hole for laser light for the box version. The standard blade material is 0.01" thick anodized aluminum. For other uses, like X-ray, we offer a veriety of blade materials and thickness as well as may different of mirrors to meet the laser specifications. Customers can olso provide their own material, mirrors or any other attaachments. The safety shutters have a life operation of 2 million cycles min. We also offer long life (-L) laser safety shutter for a life operation of 50 million cycles min.
When ordering without a driver, please select one of the operating voltages: 5V, 12V or 15V, or 24V. Click on CAD DRAWINGS to find more information about this device. Shutters are stock items. Shutters are RoHS compliant.
LOW COST (custom, standard and OEM) LASER BEAM / X-RAY SAFETY (INTERLOCK) SHUTTERS. SHUTTERS BLOCK THE BEAM WHEN THERE IS NO POWER.
THE TYPES OF SAFETY SHUTTERS WE MANUFACTURE:
SH-10 - When power is turned off the blade or mirror of the safety shutter block the laser beam.
SH-10-DM - When power is turned off the mirror for high power laser beam, epoxied on the blade of the safety shutter, deflects the laser beam.
SH-10-BD - When power is turned off the mirror for high power laser beam, epoxied on the blade of the safety shutter, deflects the laser beam into the integrated beam dump.
SH-10-PI - When power is turned off the safety shutter blade or mirror block the laser beam. Magnetic switches (sensors) indicate the position of the blade (open or closed).
