High Speed Shutters

Vincent Associates prides itself on the quality high speed shutters manufactured available for use in numerous applications including but not limited to video imaging, telescopy, microscopy, holography, and x-ray switching.

The smaller aperture UNIBLITZ® shutters are generally referred to as a high speed shutter. These high speed shutter systems tend to be utilized when fast exposures are necessary, i.e. when controlling a laser. All UNIBILTZ® shutters can be considered high speed shutters due to the speeds they can achieve relative to the size of the aperture.

However, we also provide smaller apertures whose speed specifications are greater. These devices are the LS and the UHS series. The LS is a standard series and available on-line in 2mm (LS2), 3mm (LS3) and 6mm (LS6) apertures. The UHS1 (1mm aperture) is an ultra-high speed shutter device that can provide pulses in the microsecond range. The UHS1 cannot be ordered online however the data sheet is available at http://www.uniblitz.com/capabilities.aspx and can be purchased by contacting one of our technical representatives.

If you cannot locate a device that will work within your application please check out our custom capabilities or contact us today for further assistance.
