• New quick-change housing eliminates need to remove
attached equipment when upgrading shutter.
• Small form factor, a 45 mm aperture fits into a 4-inch diameter
housing!
• Five-bladed design in combination with the UNIBLITZ®
actuator provide increased speed over other designs of this
type.
• State of the art patented damping system for increased
reliability and speed.
• Reflective blades available for laser and non-coherent light
sources, “S”, “Z” and “ZM” Type.
• Can be driven with our existing VMM/VCM drive units. Special
driver not required.
• Mounting adapters available for various camera
manufacturers
• Electronic Synchronization System option available.
• Exposure repetition rates from DC to 15Hz.
• Can be configured normally open (QCSR45).
The QCS45 is the first shutter to utilize our new quick change
housing. The new case design will virtually eliminate downtime
due to recalibration and alignment when upgrading a shutter in
your optical system. The housing consists of three parts: the
case, cover and carrier. The carrier houses a the mechanical
shutter and data connections. The case and cover remain
attached to the existing aligned components at all times. By the
removal of two screws, the carrier and shutter unit can be
upgraded with a new one.
The QCS45 utilizes a modified CS45 standard shutter, therefore it
possesses all the same reliability and timing characteristics as a
typical CS45. For information regarding the electrical, mechanical
and timing specifications of the QCS45 please refer to the CS45
documentation.
The QCS45, along with its state of the art patented damping
system, provides increased reliability over other designs of its
type. In addition, the system provides the reliable actuator system
found in all other UNIBLITZ shutter designs allowing it to be driven
with our existing VCM/VMM drive units. As an option, the shutter
can be equipped the electronic synchronization system.
When gating high intensity light sources, the QCS45 can be
equipped 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. Also
available are “Z” (AlSiO) and “ZM” (AlMgF2) coated shutter blades.
To further enhance the flexibility of the QCS series, we offer an
optional #17 mount for adapting the shutter with Nikon type
lenses. We also offer a series of mounts for Camelia, Dalsa, and
Cooke specific cameras. For non-specific mounting installations,
the #101 mounting ring can be used for universal mounting into
many applications. Additional information regarding these and the
#101 ring can be found in the specific data sheets entitled
“MICROSCOPE, VIDEO and UNIVERSAL MOUNTING
SYSTEMS” or on-line under “products”, “Mounting Systems”.

lens. The QCS45 is in the installed position for normal operation.
This figure shows the cartridge in the removed position. The camera
and lens are not disturbed, maintaining proper optical alignment.
