Request InfoSCANLAB GmbHThe welDYNA scan head from Scanlab GmBH is a scan system for oscillating laser beam cutting and welding, designed for multi-kW lasers of high beam quality and featuring digital servo control, an integrated sensor system for real-time monitoring, and water and air cooling in a robust, industrially suitable housing. High-dynamics beam oscillation allows much faster cutting speeds along with improved cutting quality. Key factors are the high wobble motion frequencies of several kHz and the availability of freely definable scan patterns. Together, they deliver superior process parameters....See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics.com 6/29/2023Trajectory Planning SoftwareSCANLAB’s SCANmotionControl is a trajectory planning software for scan systems, designed to accurately track dynamic-limited setpoints.
