Advanced Optical Shutters

DACO is best-known for its advanced optical shutter devices. These devices are designed to be optical or "beam blockers" for a host of applications.
These units are comprised of solenoid body and the shutter. Any application that requires a rotational motion to block or interrupt a beam is a potential candidate for our Optical Shutter Devices.
Product Classes
We design and manufacture two main product classes of advanced optical shutter devices:
Bi-Stable Shutters - Pulse-driven shutter devices that move and stay at their onoff positions until they receive the reverse pulse to move to the other position.

Spring Shutters - Power-driven shutter devices that only move when power is applied. No power returns the device to the off position.
