Beam shutters driven by MECOS technology
Fast-spinning beam shutters for a wide range of applications
High-speed beam choppers are used in a variety of applications to modulate beams of different types and synchronize them with a higher-level 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 equipped with magnetic bearings can reach rotational speeds of up to 100,000 rpm while maintaining extremely high 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:
- Wavelengths: UV, EUV, X-ray, etc.
- Particle beams (neutrons, protons, etc.)
- Ultra-high vacuum (<10-1 mbar)
