High accuracy, open frame, thermally stable galvo scanner

★ By Jennifer Calhoon Leave a Comment

AerotechTH

The highly repeatable and thermally stable feedback sensors used on the AGV-HPO scanner systems can be calibrated down to single-digit, micron-level accuracy over the field of view. With the extremely low thermal gain drift performance of the position transducers, complex, high-density laser machining applications will maintain consistent micron-level feature placement accuracy over the lifetime of […]
