SUPERSCAN 2-Axis Deflection Units

Product information "SUPERSCAN 2-Axis Deflection Units"

Optical Deflection ±0.393 rad; Processing Speed 25-200 rad/s; Positioning Speed 25-200 rad/s; Input Aperture 7-30 mm; Digital Control via SL2-100 or XY2-100 Protocol

The innovative thermal management and modular design make Raylase’s SUPERSCAN 2-axis deflection units the perfect solutions for demanding laser applications.

The “enhanced” option of the SUPERSCAN IIE models offers a 50 % better long-term drift performance. Long-term drift can even be further minimized by an additional water tempering. The SUPERSCAN IIE deflection units are compatible to the XY2-100 standard protocol. They can be digitally controlled by a control card, such as the SP-ICE-1 PCIe PRO.

The SUPERSCAN IV‘s model-based, digital regulation offers extremely dynamic responses and final speeds, which really come into play when used in MOTF-applications (Marking-and-processing-On-The-Fly) in conjunction with one of Raylase’s linear translator modules. The robust, water-cooled master block design, combined with optional air flushing, enables applications at up to 6 kW laser power.

The High-power welding module with the digitally controlled SUPERSCAN IV-30 2-axis deflection unit can be quickly and easily integrated into new or existing machine and production lines. This module with infrared (or, alternatively, green or blue) wavelength is an established piece of laser welding technology based on F-Theta lenses. With the High-power welding module, you, as a machine and plant manufacturer or integrator, are ideally positioned to meet customer requirements for very high laser power outputs with 100% process reliability.

This cost-efficient, modular laser welding application is ideally suited to industrial applications with a specified laser working field of up to 300 x 300 mm. These include, for example, welding of battery cell covers or tab welding, i.e. welding of cell contact surfaces made of aluminium or copper plates. The High-power welding module uses remote welding in combination with a robot. Deflection units with apertures of 20 to 30 mm ensure top-quality results during laser welding of metals and plastics.

A fully digital feedback control electronics inside the SUPERSCAN V models provides excellent dynamics and continuous monitoring of e.g. the position of the mirrors and their speed. Depending on the applied protocol (SL2-100 or XY2-100), the mirrors can be positioned with a resolution of up to 20 Bit. Thanks to the enormous acceleration and maximum speed of the digital galvanometers, the SUPERSCAN V also performs laser jobs with sharp edges extremely fast and precise.

Lenses, objectives with optimized mounts, protective glass, and scan mirror substrates and coatings are available for all typical laser types, wavelengths, power densities, focal lengths, working fields and processing areas. The control electronics of SUPERSCAN IV and V were designed to be flexible to enable the configuration of additional sets of control parameters (tuning options). Customer specific configurations are also possible – get in touch with AMS Technologies to discuss your project’s requirements!

Their compact design offers a very low size and lower cost than standard switches. Nevertheless, it has slower speed and larger wavelength dependent loss than the SW or SL types. These co-axial switches are non-latching: at power-off they break the optical connection, and routing of ports is not defined. They are based on a strictly non-blocking bidirectional architecture, i.e. the common port can be used as input or output of the light signal. The underlying MEMS technology results in low insertion loss and low crosstalk between channels while keeping a constant switching performance over life. The hermetically sealed MEMS and the laser welded fiber collimators guarantee broad temperature range and superior long-term stability. No epoxy is present in the optical path. The series of co-axial fiber optic MEMS switches is compliant to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards and RoHS requirements 2015/863/EU. Sercalo Microtechnology’s SC type co-axial 1xN and 2xN fiber optic switches are based on a design where a single MEMS mirror redirects light from a common fiber to one of N ports. The miniature packages withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards. These switches are available in four different variants to simplify integration in existing systems and reduce development cost: standard size – ribbon fibers (SC); miniature size – small driver board: 7 x 40 mm (mSC); compatible with industry pinout, 900 um sleeved fibers and connectors (rSC); bare optical component (bSC). Sercalo Microtechnology’s SCBU type co-axial NxM fiber optic switches are based on a design where a matrix of MEMS mirrors redirects light from N inputs to M outputs. The optical networks can be based on a strictly nonblocking matrix (from 4x4 up to 16x16 ports) or on a tree structure (up to 2x540 ports).

AXIALSCAN Prefocusing Deflection Units
Optical Deflection ±0.393 rad; Processing Speed 10-65 rad/s; Positioning Speed 10-65 rad/s; Max. Input Aperture 15, 20 mm; Digital Control via SL2-100, RL3-100, or XY2-100 Protocol Raylase’s AXIALSCAN series of prefocusing deflection units offer very small spot diameters at large field sizes or processing areas, flexibility, high deflection speed, long-term stability and low drift values. AXIALSCAN-20/-30 deflection units feature high power density in the spot, enabling new application and reduced system costs. Deflection units are designed for field sizes from 100 mm x 100 mm up to 1,800 mm x 1,800 mm. These units are available with options like motorized adjustment of the operating field steered by the stepper motor interface, high-power version with optimized Nd: YAG and CO₂ optics for up to 4 kW, as well as a high-speed version with double motor-driven Z-axis and extremely light and stiff high-performance mirrors. The AXIALSCAN-30 DIGITAL II deflection units with the LT-II-15 digital linear translator module ensure exceptionally low drift values at 20 Bit position resolution. Heat development is greatly reduced thanks to the PWM output stages used. Thanks to optimized lenses for CO₂ wavelength and 1060 to 1070 nm, the AXIALSCAN-30 DIGITAL II HP deflection units can handle laser power up to 4 kW. The pre-focusing deflection units of the AXIALSCAN-50 DIGITAL II series feature cutting-edge digital control electronics. Various tuning options are available, enabling application-specific adjustment of control parameters and, in combination with the SC mirrors, produce exceptional deflection speeds and dynamic values. The AXIALSCAN-50 DIGITAL II can be equipped with a range of tuning options (VC, LS and M). Default tunings are configurable. The AXIALSCAN-FIBER 20/30 deflection systems can be easily integrated into any laser system by means of various mechanical interfaces below, to the side (robot flange is possible) and from above. The integrated fiber collimator enables connection of the laser fiber without beam path alignment. A second external protective window can be quickly and easily replaced, with optional monitoring available. Camera and welding monitoring systems can be adapted to the process light output without aberrations. The AXIALSCAN FIBER-30 is completely dust-proof and therefore ideal for use in a harsh industrial environment. Suitable mirrors are available both for high-performance welding applications with laser power in the multi-kilowatt range and for highly dynamic applications. Optical configurations are available for all standard beam parameters of lasers and their fibers. The AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 deflection systems ensure that the laser process is highly dynamic and precise, even when the workpiece is passing under the deflection unit at varying speed. The pre-focussing deflection unit can, among other things, separate the contours of electrical connection surfaces (tabs) on batteries with precision during the foil winding process. This benefit is possible thanks to the pulsed laser beam – highly dynamic with position accuracy – that is directed from the AXIALSCAN FIBER-50 deflection unit onto the workpiece. It works with the smallest spot size on processing field sizes of between 300 x 300 mm and 850 x 850 mm. Depending on the model, the AXIALSCAN deflection units are compatible to the XY2-100 (16 Bit) protocol, the SL2-100 (20 Bit) protocol, or the RL3-100 (20 Bit) standards. They can be digitally controlled by a control card, such as the SP-ICE-1 PCIe PRO or SP-ICE-3. Lenses, protective glass, scan mirrors, deflection mirrors and objectives with optimized mounts are available for all typical laser beam source types.
