ST-Galvo Scanner

ST-Galvo Scanner

The ST-Galvo Scanner is a compact two-axis galvanometer scan set built on dynamic magnetic drive technology with high-resolution, high-precision position sensors. It drives the mirror to reflect and position the laser beam in laser processing and beam scanning systems, and is engineered for fast response, long-term stability and high repeatability in demanding environments. The galvo motor is specially optimised for mechanical accuracy and a high torque constant, and the encoder structure achieves linearity better than 99.6 % at ±20° deflection.

Key Features:

  • The ST Galvo Scanner delivers superior performance with its compact structure and 18-bit high-resolution encoder, ensuring ultra-high repeatability accuracy and precision control in laser processing applications.
  • Featuring a specially optimized galvo motor, the system offers exceptional mechanical accuracy and a high torque constant, ideal for demanding environments where speed and accuracy are critical.
  • With its optimized encoder structure, the system achieves linearity greater than 99.6% at ±20° deflection angle, ensuring reliable signal feedback for dynamic scanning.
  • Engineered for fast response and long-term stability, this galvanometer scanner is an ideal solution for high-speed laser applications such as marking, engraving, cutting, and welding.
  • The ST galvo system supports rich optical configurations, compatible with lens apertures from 3 mm to 100 mm, making it highly adaptable across various industries.
