Laser Scanning Actuator
Harmonic Drive manufactures galvanometer scanner actuators capable of scanning at high speeds with intense precision. Our unique mobile magnet motors and a newly developed optical sensor are used for LSA Series laser scanning actuators.
Key Components of a Galvanometer Laser Scanner
A galvanometer laser scanner is used to move a laser beam quickly and accurately in all directions. Some specific components of this scanner include:
- Galvano mirrors: The small Galvano mirror scanner attachment rotates rapidly in response to electronic signals, directing the laser in various directions.
- Laser scan actuators: The laser scan actuator controls the movement of the laser beam. The laser scans surfaces or targets for applications such as laser printing and barcode scanning.
- Control electronics: Control electronics in the scanner provide precision and allow the mirror to rotate.
Galvanometer Scanner Laser Applications
At Harmonic Drive, our galvanometer scanner parts are designed to meet high performance and quality standards. We recognize the importance of this machine in medical imaging and industrial settings for material processing.
The galvanometer scanner can specifically be used on:
- Measuring instruments.
- Inspection instruments.
- Laser marking equipment.
