Single-Axis VantagePro Galvanometer Scanners, 4 mm or 5 mm Max Beam Diameter

These high-speed VantagePro® scanning galvanometer mirror positioning systems are designed for integration into OEM or custom laser beam steering applications. Models are available for beam diameters of 4 mm and 5 mm, as well as beam diameters up to 45 mm. Each system includes a single-axis galvo motor with mirror and a matched driver card.

These galvanometers include closed-loop servo drivers that interpret the signals from the position-detecting system inside the motor and produce the drive voltage required to rotate the mirror to the desired position. High bandwidth ensures that analog command waveforms are followed with speed and accuracy.

Servos are optimized for high-speed, precise positioning for all applications. Servos for scanners with 4 or 5 mm maximum beam diameters additionally feature dual-output power amplifiers to keep power supply requirements modest for larger motors without sacrificing performance.
