12V Laser Beam Shutters
The LS- range of laser beam shutters are combined shutters and beam dumps designed to be driven by a safety control system such as the ICS-9 laser interlock control system, for use as a means of shutting down the laser beam automatically during unauthorized access, or manually when the beam is not required. They can also be used as stand-alone shutters for manual or remote switching of the beam. These shutters are available as OEM components for laser or laser product manufacturers.

When used with the ICS-9 interlock control system, the LS series of shutters are used as shown on the right. Opening of any laboratory door without use of the override will result in the shutter closing, thus preventing unprotected persons from being exposed to the laser radiation. The shutter is fail safe and gravity fed. Loss of power will cause the shutter to close without reliance on springs or any other device. High quality engineering design ensures smooth and reliable operation.
