Servo laser beam block

thingiverse

One super simple optical beam shutter powered by Arduino Nano + LabVIEW LINX (or just Arduino depending on what you need) that blocks the optical beam with incredible precision and timing. The servo can move up to 2 Hz, making it perfect for high-precision applications or blocking the beam during other operations. The beam block can handle decent laser powers tested up to 1 W. I designed the shutter to be adjustable in height using a screw on the servo holder, and the rod is easily extendable in length with multiple steps. To keep the shutter stable on the optical table, I added some rubber feet that work flawlessly. The servo is connected to 5V from USB and digital pin 9 on the Arduino.
