Uniblitz® XRS66mm Uni-Stable X-ray Shutter

Overview

Key Features

The Uniblitz XRS6 has been designed specifically for x-ray switching••

6mm apertureapplications. The innovative platinum-iridium (PtIr) blade design••

Uni-stable operation

allows beam extinction of 90% up to 30 keV x-ray energy (based••

Capable of blocking x-ray energy

upon the tenth value extinction of PtIr). The XRS6 is well suited for
applications such as x-ray crystallography, medical x-ray imaging, etc.
Uni-stable shutter devices, like the XRS6, require power to hold theblades in the open state.

(30 KeV)••RoHS Compliant••

Transfer time on opening:
3.2 milliseconds••Total opening time:
4.4 milliseconds••Configured for the VCM-D1
Shutter Driver

incorporates an infrared emitting diode, an infrared sensitive detecting
transistor, and an interrupting vane. The vane is attached to the shutter soas to block the light path between the emitter and detector in the closedposition. When the shutter transfers to the 80% open position, the vaneis removed from the infrared light path, allowing the emitter to switch theGND
