Request InfoPrecision Laser Scanning LLCSCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 24, 2017 — The Precision Raster Scan Polygon Controller from Precision Laser Scanning LLC provides a simple, cost-effective solution for laser cleaning or surface modification at hundreds of m/s. The controller will synchronize a high-speed polygon scanner with a galvanometer scanner and a high-power laser for a raster scan more than 10× faster than is possible with traditional galvo scanners. The polygon provides a fast X-axis line scan. At the end of each line, the galvo steps one increment to provide the Y-axis. This scanner combination will create a raster scan on a fixed target or the...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 4/12/2024Machine Vision TunnelThe 380 Modular Vision Tunnel from Cognex is an automated scanning solution for logistics operations.
