PUCHHEIM, Germany, Aug. 16, 2010 — Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Scanlab AG has grown over the past two decades from a small, alternative to the monopolists of that era into a laser positioning and deflection provider with more than 100 employees and annual sales that exceed €35 million.

Serving its customers in an array of applications such as marking, microstructuring, cutting and welding, Scanlab participates in all major markets, including semiconductor, solar, automaking and medical technology.

The company has released numerous products over the years, some of which involved first-time implementation of novel ideas that became market standards, said the company. These have included the hurrySCAN, itellisCAN and SCANcube scan head series, and the RTC line of control boards.

Scanlab AG is an OEM manufacturer of scan solutions for the deflection and positioning of laser beams in three dimensions.

positioning: Positioning generally refers to the determination or identification of the location or placement of an object, person, or entity in a specific space or relative to a reference point. The term is used in various contexts, and the methods for positioning can vary depending on the application. Key aspects of positioning include: Spatial coordinates: Positioning often involves expressing the location of an object in terms of spatial coordinates. These coordinates may include dimensions such as...
