Vincent Associates will showcase its newest product developments at Photonics West 2013 on 5-7 February at the Moscone Centre (booth 729) in San Francisco, California (US). In addition to its line of NS-type and DSS-type devices, the company will also have on display some new devices that are based on its latest technological advances and that will become available in the coming year.
The RS20 is a device that features a single shutter blade and a rectangular aperture (20 millimetres, mm, diagonal). The device is based on the patented actuator in the TS devices and maintains the same low profile design. Another feature of this device is an integrated H-Bridge driver. A four-pin connector supplies input voltage and transistor-to-transistor logic (TTL) level open and close trigger signals. No other drive electronics are required. All shutter and driver components are completely contained within the device providing two flat surfaces for mounting with no component obstructions.
Another new device that will be on display is the TS2B shutter, which is the newest addition to the TS line of shutters. The TS2B is a bi-stable 2mm aperture device. The new shutter will be compatible with Vincent Associates’ ED12DSS, VDM1000 and (soon to be released) VED24 shutter controllers. The shutter features a single shutter blade and is designed as a low-profile flag shutter alternative.
The company also announces the anticipated release of the UHS25 and ULS25 devices. These devices feature a 1-inch (~2.5-centimetre) aperture that includes a shutter and a motorised variable iris. The device is precisely machined to meet the Copal 0 form factor including the associated lens threads. The UHS25 features a shutter capable of reaching speeds as fast as 1/250th of a second. The ULS25 is equipped with a slower version of the shutter that is designed for extended lifetime. The stepper motor-driven iris contains five blades with 172 discrete steps. These devices mark the first time a motorised iris and electromechanical shutter have been integrated within a Uniblitz device. They are currently available by special order.
