Design Features
Sci-in Tech shutters offer precision exposures with computer control for the lab or observatories. Engineered for longevity, low temperature and consistancy.
Large Aperture |
The PS-250 is typically used for single large area CCD's while the PS-500 and larger shutters are matched with mosaic CCD assemblies. | |
Square Aperture |
Square, not round, is the perfect match for CCD's since their shape is square or rectangular. This eliminates corner vignetting, a requirment for most scientific imaging. | |
Small Footprint Size |
The core of this design is minimal weight for given aperture size and small footprint area to minimize possible mechanical interference. | |
Computer Controlled |
RS-232 with contact-closure and opto-isolator offers options to choose. | |
Low Power Consumption |
External power supply allows remote location of a heat source. Motor power is consumed only when blades are in motion. | |
Precision Timing |
An internal clock allows poling to 0.1ms. | |
Superior Shutter Blade Strength |
Sci-in Tech has used carbon-fiber shutter blades since 1996 to protect expensive CCD arrays from possible objects contacting a vacuum window. | |
Tier Stepped Aperture Port |
Reduces scattered light and allows a mask, filter or window to to be set in below the shutter surface in special situations. | |
Completely Serviceable |
At 2.5 to 3 million cycles, a rebuild replacing all moving parts can be done. | |
Long Life |
Rejuvinating to new condition allows many years of operation, reduces waste and is cost effictive. | |
Can be adapted to operate in Vacuum |
Vacuum compatable components can be used for vacuum service as a special order. | |
Special Sizes are Available |
Sci-in Tech standard shutters increase in increments of 2.500". Special size apertures including rectanglar, are offered as a custom design, with a NRE charge included. |
