XRS14 14mm Uni-stable X-ray Shutters

OVERVIEW
The UNIBLITZ® XRS14 shutter series is especially designed for x-ray applications. The blade design allows beam
extinction >104 up to 30Kev x-ray energy. The XRS14 shutter is well suited for specific x-ray applications such as x-ray
crystallography and can open within 20.0msec at a maximum rate of 10Hz. Precision control and reliability can be
expected as with all UNIBLITZ® shutter products.
The shutter is programmable, and is activated by an electronic pulse generated by Vincent's patented UNIBLITZ®
drive systems. The shutter will follow this pulse, which allows the user to program the exposure duration and frequency.
The XRS14 has a 14mm clear aperture and can be equipped with the solid state synchronization system. Vacuum
compatibility is also available, please consult customer service for further information.

FEATURES
• 14mm diameter clear aperture.
• PtIr (Platinum Iridium) shutter blade, capable of blocking x-ray energy up to 30Kev.
• Exposure repetition rate continuously variable from DC to 10Hz.
• Electronic synchronization system optional.
• Activated by an electronic pulse through patented UNIBLITZ® shutter drive systems.
• Non-resonant design allows instantaneous changes repetition rate and duty cycle.
• No optical surface open provide 100% transmittance.
• Normally open option available on special order.

CONTinuous frequency rating specified at shutter's minimum exposure pulse. BURST frequency rating specified for

(4) four seconds maximum with (1) one minute minimum between bursts. Frequency measurements are taken in free
air, 25°C ambient, actuator coil equipped with heat sink. For additional information on maximum sustained frequencies
obtainable, please contact one of our technical representatives.
