Model A - Polygon Scan Head This compact, low cost, Polygon Scan Head is designed for laser cleaning and surface treatment on a moving target. It is light enough for handheld use. It is compact enough to fit in…
Polygon scanners can scan at hundreds of meters / second and have a high laser damage threshold which makes them ideal for high speed laser cleaning. The new Gecko-5-HP1 is the first compact polygon scanner designed for high power laser…
Autonomous vehicles may be equipped with a variety of sensors to determine their location and surroundings. Sensors commonly include GPS, Inertial Navigation System, cameras, radar and LIDAR (Laser Radar). LIDAR has higher resolution than conventional RF radar and can see…
If you are designing or evaluating a LIDAR system you might be interested in this free calculator to quickly determine the resolution at distance. It will be handy if you have a collision avoidance requirement for an autonomous vehicle and…
In some situations, high power and USP / Ultrafast lasers cannot achieve their full speed potential with galvanometer (galvo) scanners. When scan speeds of hundreds of meters a second are required, a polygon scanner may be the solution. The NEW…
Beam shaping is well known in material processing. The normal Gaussian beam profile may be is converted to a top hat (flat top) to more efficiently utilize the full energy of the beam. The same beam shaping optics can also…
The concept of laser paint stripping has been around for a long time. Laser ablation is attractive because it can avoid damage to the part caused by abrasive methods of paint removal and does not require the use of toxic…
This calculator makes it easy to compute polygon scanner / polygon scan head scan rate, speed of spot on the target and then compute the needed laser pulse rate based on spot size and required overlap. POLYGON SCANNER CALCULATOR Plug…
It is common practice in low power polygon scanner systems to use the working beam to trigger a Start-Of-Scan (SOS) detector. The SOS trigger is essential for accurate laser scanning. Polygon Scan Heads, used for material processing, employ high power…
