Beam shutters driven by MECOS technology
Fast spinning beam shutters for various types of applications
High-speed beam choppers are used in a variety of applications to clock beams of different nature in order to synchronize them with a superordinate process. Application areas include X-ray and electron beams as well as particle beams such as neutron beams in medical applications.
High-speed beam choppers using magnetic bearings can also reach significant speeds (up to 100'000 rpm) while reaching very high rotation speed accuracy.
Features and Benefits
- Very high rotation speeds
- Highest rotation speed accuracy
- Variable duty cycle
- Variable beam diameter
- Minimal heating of the process medium
- No contamination of the process
- Maintenance free
Wide range of application areas:
- Wavelength: UV, EUV, X-ray etc.
- Particle beams (neutrons, protons, etc.)
- Ultra-high vacuum (<10-1 mbar)
