May 27, 2015 - Scanlab announces excelliSCAN surface scanner that uses galvo scanners with ultra-precise digital angle sensors and a SCANahead servo control: this control solution enables highly dynamic laser processing unencumbered by the existing limitations of conventional servos with tracking error. The servo design achieves a previously unattainable union of very high speed with very high dynamic performance, thus delivering clear productivity gains to users. Moreover, high-speed contour marking accuracy (e.g. starting off from sharp corners and curves) is significantly improved.
excelliSCAN's mechanical design provides enhanced stability, more compactness and optimal heat removal under dynamic load. In addition to the familiar water-cooling option, SCANLAB for the first time offers a system variant with efficient, active air-cooling. This is particularly welcome for machine designs that don't allow water as a coolant. excelliSCAN is available with a 14-mm aperture; a 10-mm version is in preparation. Control is provided by the RTC 6 control board.
