Request InfoFARO Technologies Inc., PhotonicsA three-axis scan head has been announced by Nutfield Technology Inc. The 3XB-45mm offers laser system designers smaller spot sizes, larger scan field sizes and the ability to mark contoured surfaces. The Z-axis corrects for focus in real time within the scan field, allowing the use of larger-aperture input beams for scanning much larger field sizes and smaller spot sizes. The 45-mm aperture SiC-substrate high-speed mirrors allow the device to generate spots as small as 260 μm in diameter. An optional motorized macro Z-axis adjustment uses an RS-485 interface that controls a stepper...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 1/18/2018Fiberguide RARe Motheye Fiber: Random Anti-Reflective (RARe) Nanostructures on Optical Fibers as Replacement for AR CoatingsAnti-reflective (AR) coatings are now entering their second century and have remained virtually unchanged throughout their life.
