system components for <strong>in</strong>tegratorsdynAXIS ® XS, dynAXIS ® S, dynAXIS ® M, dynAXIS ® LdynAXIS ® galvanometer scanners are high-performance rotary motorsfor optical applications. They consist of a motor section based on mov<strong>in</strong>gmagnet technology and a high-precision position detector (PD).The primary area of application is the fast and precise position<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>mirrors</strong>for the deflection of laser beams.The exceptional dynamics of SCANLAB’s dynAXIS ® scanners are the resultof more than twelve years of experience <strong>in</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g and manufactur<strong>in</strong>gscanners, scan systems and scan solutions for <strong>in</strong>dustrial use.The motor section of each dynAXIS ® is ideally matched to the <strong>in</strong>ertial loadpresented by the mirror. The optimized rotor design is largely responsiblefor the favorable dynamic properties and resonance characteristics. Axiallypre-loaded precision ball bear<strong>in</strong>gs guarantee a backlash-free rotor assemblywith high stiffness and low friction. Special attention has been paid to longbear<strong>in</strong>g lifetimes.The optical position detector system is characterized by high resolution, aswell as good repeatability and drift values. The scanners are equipped withheaters and temperature sensors (optional for dynAXIS ® XS). This allowstemperature stabilization for further enhanc<strong>in</strong>g long-term stability, evenunder fluctuat<strong>in</strong>g ambient conditions.SCANLAB provides all dynAXIS ® scanners with suitable <strong>mirrors</strong> and mirrorcoat<strong>in</strong>gs for all typical laser wavelengths. In addition to very good reflectionproperties, the <strong>mirrors</strong> are also optimized with respect to <strong>in</strong>ertial load,stiffness and flatness.The high quality of SCANLAB’s galvanometer scanners enables error-freeoperation <strong>in</strong> long-term and cont<strong>in</strong>uous use. Comprehensive measurementson custom test benches assure that the highest level of quality is cont<strong>in</strong>uouslyma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong>ed.

smart scann<strong>in</strong>g<strong>in</strong>telliSCAN ® 10The <strong>in</strong>telliSCAN ® 10 scan head is the first member of a new, digitally controlledgeneration of scan heads.Newly developed digital servo amplifiers control the <strong>in</strong>dustry-provendynAXIS ® S galvanometer scanners. Employ<strong>in</strong>g a high-performance controlalgorithm, these digital servos enable improved dynamics and mark<strong>in</strong>gquality as well as extensive possibilities for diagnosis and for communicationbetween the scan system and the customer‘s control computer.The <strong>in</strong>telliSCAN ® allows real-time monitor<strong>in</strong>g of all important scan systemoperational states such as mirror positions and speeds, drive currents, supplyvoltage and temperature. As a result, process<strong>in</strong>g operations can bemonitored, protocolled and modified if required – these abilities are especiallywelcome <strong>in</strong> safety-critical applications.The <strong>in</strong>telliSCAN ® creates new remote-diagnosis possibilities. It has thenecessary facilities to support software-query<strong>in</strong>g from any location to determ<strong>in</strong>eaccumulated operat<strong>in</strong>g hours, serial number, date-of-manufactureand essential operational states. Thus, deviations can be quickly detectedand corrected.The product‘s electronics architecture also enables functionality extensionsvia firmware modification, such as the planned ability to change scan headdynamics dur<strong>in</strong>g process<strong>in</strong>g and thereby optimally adapt the scan head toparticular task requirements.

new dimensions – optics <strong>in</strong> <strong>motion</strong>varioSCAN, varioSCAN FLEXvarioSCAN dynamic focus<strong>in</strong>g devices enable the laser focusto be moved quickly and precisely along the optical axis. This isachieved via an optical element driven by a high-performance,tilt-free l<strong>in</strong>ear motor.In XY scan systems, the varioSCAN can replace costly flat fieldobjectives. The varioSCAN is an exceptionally ideal solution<strong>in</strong> applications for which standard flat field objectives areunavailable. The varioSCAN can also extend XY scan systems<strong>in</strong>to 3D beam deflection systems. The laser focus is guidedalong the contour of the workpiece be<strong>in</strong>g processed, thusenabl<strong>in</strong>g process<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> three dimensions. The varioSCAN FLEXadditionally allows cont<strong>in</strong>uously adjust<strong>in</strong>g the image field sizeand work<strong>in</strong>g distance.Controll<strong>in</strong>g both an XY scan unit and the varioSCAN is easilyachieved via SCANLAB’s RTC ® <strong>in</strong>terface boards.SCANLAB offers optical configurations for a wide variety ofwork<strong>in</strong>g distances, image field sizes, beam diameters, wavelengthsand laser powers. For fiber-coupled lasers, SCANLABoffers the varioSCAN FC (see special data sheet).Typical Fields of Application: Laser materials process<strong>in</strong>g: weld<strong>in</strong>g, cutt<strong>in</strong>g, drill<strong>in</strong>g Laser deep engrav<strong>in</strong>g Rapid prototyp<strong>in</strong>g, rapid tool<strong>in</strong>g Microstructur<strong>in</strong>g 3D workpiece process<strong>in</strong>g
How It WorksThe varioSCAN is an opto-mechanicalsystem. Relative to a fixed-positionfocus<strong>in</strong>g lens, a diverg<strong>in</strong>g lens is movedalong the optical axis by a tilt-free l<strong>in</strong>earmotor (see illustration). This changesthe overall system’s focal length. Laserbeams of two kilowatts (CO 2 ) or fourkilowatts average power (YAG) can befocused.2D ApplicationsIn an XY scan system, the varioSCANreplaces a flat field objective. Dur<strong>in</strong>g thescan process, the focal length is dynamicallyreadjusted <strong>in</strong> synchronisation withthe mirror movement to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> thelaser focus with<strong>in</strong> a flat image field.3D ApplicationsA 3-axis system – consist<strong>in</strong>g of avarioSCAN, an XY scan unit andan RTC ® <strong>in</strong>terface board – enablesprocess<strong>in</strong>g of non-flat workpieces.The position of the laser focus can beadapted to the contours of the partbe<strong>in</strong>g processed. Particularly for shortfocal lengths, the 3-axis scan system canbe comb<strong>in</strong>ed with a flat field objectiveto achieve the smallest possible spot sizeand a large focus range <strong>in</strong> Z direction.varioSCAN 20XY scan systems with apertures upto 20 mm can be extended by thevarioSCAN 20 <strong>in</strong>to a 3-axis scan system.The varioSCAN 20 features exceptionallydynamic performance.Optics are available for laserwavelengths up to 266 nm.

maximum-power laser scann<strong>in</strong>gvarioSCAN FCThe varioSCAN FC is a new type of dynamic focus<strong>in</strong>g unitthat can be comb<strong>in</strong>ed with a powerSCAN to realize a 3D beamdeflection system for fiber-coupled multi-kilowatt lasers.Beam delivery is based on a variable collimator, with opticalelements driven by the l<strong>in</strong>AXIS l<strong>in</strong>ear axis from SCANLAB. Thelaser focus can thus be moved quickly and precisely along theoptical axis. The beam focus is optimized to rema<strong>in</strong> a virtuallyconstant focus diameter throughout the entire work<strong>in</strong>g volume.Adaptation to various fiber connector types and numericalapertures is possible.The varioSCAN FC is designed to handle a laser power of up tofive kilowatts. To ensure reliable operation also with very highlaser powers, the varioSCAN FC is equipped for water cool<strong>in</strong>g.The varioSCAN FC‘s dynamics and optical layout are designedfor use with SCANLAB‘s powerSCAN systems. Both, thevarioSCAN FC and the powerSCAN are easily controlled withSCANLAB’s RTC ® PC <strong>in</strong>terface boards.Typical Applications: Remote weld<strong>in</strong>g Laser materials process<strong>in</strong>g: weld<strong>in</strong>g, solder<strong>in</strong>g,surface treatment (harden<strong>in</strong>g, textur<strong>in</strong>g ...)

This allowsthe laser beam‘s divergence, and thusthe overall system‘s focal length, to bevaried.In addition, there are provisions formanual adjustment of the nom<strong>in</strong>alwork<strong>in</strong>g distance.Two deflection <strong>mirrors</strong> fold thebeam path to keep the total systemdimensions of the powerSCAN andvarioSCAN FC as compact as possible.SCANLAB offers a variety of opticalconfigurations for adapt<strong>in</strong>g the systemto the customer’s particular application.Work<strong>in</strong>g distance and field size can beadjusted by the selection of focus<strong>in</strong>goptics.
