UltraScan Head

UltraScan Head

The UltraScan Head is a range of 2-axis (2D) galvanometer scan heads covering 10 / 14 / 20 / 30 / 50 mm apertures, with a rich mirror coating selection - UV, green, fiber, CO₂ and other options - and strict mirror quality control for flatness and damage threshold. The driver board uses a Class D power amplifier for high output power, low heating and low drift, and strict factory inspection keeps the repair rate very low. Two series are available: UltraScan I and the UltraScan II family.

Key Features:

  • Low noises, high linearity and low drift
  • Modular design, easy installment and maintenance
  • Support varieties of F-theta lenses
  • Available to general protocol (XY2-100) and other protocol
