Laser switching optical shutter Advanced Optical Shutter

monostable

Overview
The Kendrion DS200X8 optical/laser shutter is a monitored beam shutter engineered for demanding industrial laser and optical applications. It combines a compact aluminium housing with integrated position sensing and mirror temperature monitoring to maintain process reliability and safe beam control.

Key features

• Aluminium housing with high mechanical resistance and low outgassing
• Closed shutter directs the beam into an integrated beam dump
• Reflective mirror compatible with multiple wavelengths; mirror temperature monitored redundantly (NTC)
• Integrated position detection (photointerruptors / end-switches) and TTL outputs
• Fail-safe closing on power loss and suitability for cleanroom assembly
• Purge air connection and option for additional water cooling for thermal management
• Scalable/configurable product family for customer-specific variants

Benefits / Applications

• Reliable beam interruption and monitoring for optics & photonics, laser processing, machine integration and analysis systems
• Redundant monitoring increases operational safety for laser installations
• Adaptable to different wavelengths and power levels (options on request)
