Melles Griot manufactures state‑of‑the‑art electronic shutters for laboratory and OEM applications. Our IES™-series shutters include an adjustable iris diaphragm, X synchronization, and a “manual actuation” lever that allows the shutter to operate without an electrical signal. Our UltraThin™-series shutters are designed to fit into restricted spaces. In both series, Spring-steel blades with a Teflon-impregnated, black matte finish, coupled with a reliable, multiblade shutter mechanism guarantee high operational speed and near 100% light extinction as well as smooth and dependable operation. Normally closed and normally open blade configurations are available. Rated nominal voltages for standard solenoids are 3-,6-,12-, 24-, and 48-Vdc. Controllers are available for standard 12-V shutters, and our 12-V shutters include a mating cable.
