Galvanometer Scanner

The excelliSCAN is based on the latest generation galvanometer scanner technology, enabling excellent contour fidelity even for

demanding scan jobs:

• Digital galvanometer scanners with 20-bit encoder technology for highest positioning accuracy and long-term stability

• Best linearity and minimum position noise ensure highest positioning accuracy

Innovative Housing Concept

In addition to the modern design, the mechanical concept of the excelliSCAN is characterized as follows:

• Robust and tight shell construction (IP66)

• Improved thermal management for best long-term stability

• Separation of optics and electronics

• Efficient water cooling for galvanometer scanners and electronics for highest stability

• Mirror air cooling enables the use of high power lasers

Integration and Control

System Integration

The excelliSCAN can be easily integrated into the machine concept:

• Compact construction with mounting holes on the beam entrance side and beam exit side

• Fast commissioning due to universal tuning and automatically set scanner and laser delays

• Positioning of the electrical connections can be flexibly changed between the beam entrance side or opposite the beam exit side

Variants

The excelliSCAN is available in three apertures:

• 14 mm

• 20 mm

• 30 mm

The 20 and 30 mm variants come with a standard interlock protection function.

Temperature sensors for the mirrors and the galvo mount are optionally available.

Control with RTC6

excelliSCAN scan heads are controlled by the powerful RTC6 control board, which is characterized by the following features:

• Powerful DSP, FPGA, and expanded memory

• New Spot Distance Control (SDC) function allows precise laser processing even during acceleration and deceleration phases when used with pulse-on-demand lasers
