CS65

OVERVIEW

The CS65 is the newest patent-pending product and is the second release in the new UNIBLITZ®CS series. The small form factor allows a 65 mm aperture to beinstalled into applications not presently accessible with existing UNIBLITZ®VS series shutters. As with the CS45, the CS65 has been designed toprovide accurate, repeatable exposures for a wide variety of applications. The small form factor allows a 65 mm aperture to beinstalled into a five-inch diameter housing – about the same overallsize as the existing VS35 shutter! To increase the unit’s flexibility,the shutter can be supplied in an un-housed version for OEM applications or in situations inaccessible to most shutters due tospatial limitations.

The CS65, along with its state-of-the-art damping system, provides increased reliability over other designs of its type. In addition, the system provides the reliable actuator system found in allother UNIBLITZ®shutter designs allowing it to be driven with our existing VMM driveunits. As an option, the shutter can be equipped the electronicsynchronization system.

When gating high intensity light sources, the CS65 can beequipped with polished stainless steel reflective blades. This option protects the shutter blades from the light source’s damaging effects by reflecting the energy away from the blade surface. Look for future availability of “Z” (AlSiO) and “ZM” (AlMgF2) coated blades in this device.

To further enhance the flexibility of the CS65; an optional #102 mounting ring is available to allow the shutter to be easily mounted in many non-specific applications. Additional information regarding the #102 mounting ring can be found in the specific datasheets entitled “MICROSCOPE, VIDEO, or UNIVERSAL MOUNTING SYSTEMS” or on-line under “products”, “Mounting Systems”.

Electrical

¹ Voltage level required across actuator coil when being held in the open position.

Mechanical

¹ CONTinuousfrequency rating specified at shutter’s minimum exposure pulse.  BURSTfrequency rating specified for (4) four seconds maximum with (1) oneminute minimum between bursts.  Frequency measurements are taken infree air, 25°C ambient, actuator coil equipped with heat sink.  Foradditional information on maximum sustained frequencies obtainable,please contact one of our technical representatives.

Timing

The following chart lists typical timing values (msec.) using UNIBLITZ® drive equipment and measured with UNIBLITZ® shutters equipped with standard black Teflon® coated shutter blades.

The question regarding enhancement of shutter speed with the application of user supplied lubricants has been repeatedly asked. It is ourexperience that lubricating the shutter blades will actually slow the shutter down and eventually render the shutter inoperable. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD ANY TYPE OF LUBRICANT BE APPLIED TO THE
SHUTTERBLADE AREA

Unhoused Style

The CS65 un-housed style is the basic configuration of this device and is best suited for OEM applications. Mounting can be accomplished through three0-80 (flat head required) clearance holes located around the unit’s perimeter on a 4.725 inch diameter bolt circle. These holes, asindicated, are 120 degrees apart. Unless otherwise specified, this standard unit is terminated to a 7-pin male connector through a 7-wire six-inch cable assembly. (The three 2- 56 holes are not recommended formounting due to the potential for interference with the shutter’s blades.)

Housed Style

The CS65 housing style allows a number of mounting configurations. A ¼-20threaded hole is provided for post mounting. The 3.00inch x 40TPIexternal thread located on the rear side, and the specific mountingholes located on the front side (see Figure above) can be interfaceddirectly into your application or fitted with a variety of userspecific mounting options. For the CS65, the #102 Mounting Ring ispresently the only mounting option available. Additional informationregarding the #102 mounting ring can be found in the specific datasheet entitled “MICROSCOPE & VIDEO MOUNTING SYSTEMS”.

Housing/Connector Layout

The unit terminates with a 7-pin male connector as illustrated.

*Input side only, Teflon® coating is on opposite side.  Intended to protect the shutter blade surface, light source must be input to the reflective side only.
