Compact, high-performance scan heads from the intelliSCAN IV series
SCANLAB GmbH will showcase its new intelliSCAN IV series and SCANmotionControl at Laser World of Photonics 2023. Both sets of products are set to improve laser process control, through a variety of different methods.
Key information:
- SCANLAB GmbH is set to exhibit its intelliSCAN IV series and SCANmotionControl at Laser World of Photonics 2023.
- The intelliScan IV series features a group of new scan heads with improved compactness, integration, performance, and stability, with waterproof and dustproof housing.
- SCANmotionControl is SCANLAB's new trajectory planning software, offering increased process control and throughput.
SCANLAB’s new intelliSCAN IV series scan heads are said to have improved compactness, performance, and integration capabilities compared to its competitors. The product's housing meets IP66 protection class and is both waterproof and dustproof. Additionally, the series features integrated water-cooling technology which has improved the intelliSCAN IV series’ dynamics by 20%, as well as temperature stability for the beam inlet, electronics, and galvanometer scanner.
The scanning solution provider’s new scan heads are compatible with all RTC drive boards, and they also feature an interlock connection for integration into a safety circuit. Users can also choose between the classic scanner control with a tracking error or the excelliSCAN series which uses the full dynamic potential of the scan head. It can also be used with SCANLAB’s second new launch, SCANmotionControl.
"Our customers desire solutions that are optimally tailored to their requirements, and they value our extensive choice in scan systems," emphasizes Georg Hofner, CEO of SCANLAB. "The intelliSCAN IV is a highly attractive addition to our portfolio, and with the innovative SCANmotionControl software, we are adding a new dimension to the SCANLAB modular system."
SCANmotionControl software provides optimal laser process control and maximises throughput
SCANLAB’s second new product, SCANmotionControl, is a trajectory planning software which aims to accurately track dynamic-limited setpoints. What set’s this latest product apart from the rest is that it offers increased process control and throughput, as it can simultaneously adjust the laser power and scan speed.
SCANmotionControl’s software maintains the desired intensity of a location and time through the precise application of laser energy, with a reduced development time through simulation and parameter optimisation. Additionally, the software can be integrated with both excelliSCAN and intelliSCAN IV systems, which ensures the software and scan heads can produce precise and dynamic movements that are synchronised with a laser.
"Our product innovations are the result of strong teamwork,” said Christian Sonner, CTO of SCANLAB. “We are delighted that the SCANmotionControl software has been nominated for the Photonics Innovation Award 2023. Knowing that the flexible combinability of our scan solutions is important to our customers, all future scan heads will be 'ready for SCANmotionControl'."
