SCANLAB's new scan head with 20-mm aperture for high-power lasers
At the Laser 2003 trade show, SCANLAB AG will present the hurrySCAN 20, a scan head optimized for industrial applications. With a 20-mm aperture, the new scan head is specified for laser powers up to 1 kW. The hurrySCAN 20 delivers highly dynamic performance which is usually not associated with large-mirror scan heads.
The hurrySCAN 20 is equipped with an exceptionally compact, robust and dust-proof housing, as well as integrated air and water cooling to ensure reliable operation even under challenging environmental conditions. Attachment of add-on components (e.g. crossjets or pre-focusing lenses) is facilitated by convenient mounting holes on the scan head’s housing, as well as optional attachment provisions.
To focus the laser beam, the scan head can be equipped with F-Theta or flat field objectives, pre-focusing lenses or the variable-Z optics varioSCAN.
Typical hurrySCAN 20applications include textile and micro-material processing, as well as micro-via drilling, welding, and premium-quality marking. The hurrySCAN 20 is also especially well-suited for deflecting high-power diode lasers, e.g. for quasi-simultaneous welding of plastics.
The hurrySCAN 20 is electrically compatible with all SCANLAB scan heads and can be controlled via SCANLAB's RTC PC interface boards. The hurrySCAN 20 is also mechanically compatible with the hurrySCAN 25 and can be quickly and easily integrated into existing laser scan systems.
