Request InfoVincent AssociatesThe Uniblitz BDS25, a 25-mm-aperture shutter introduced by Vincent Associates, incorporates two microminiaturized electromagnetic actuator systems. It features bistable movement, which enables the shutter blades to remain in the open or closed position without a holding voltage applied to the coil, allowing the shutter to operate under lower power and bandwidth conditions. Available in an unhoused OEM version that is electronically programmed to fire specific exposures at precise time intervals, it can be driven by the company's VMM or VCM drive system through the supplied microprocessor...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/9/2023Innovations in Ultrashort-Pulse and RF-Excited CO2 Lasers Expand Materials Processing ApplicationsIndustrial laser materials processing is constantly evolving.
