The camera adapter enables camera-based observation of a galvanometer scan head's working field. Typical applications include process monitoring or determination of a workpiece's orientation during laser processing.

The camera adapter is installed directly in the beam path, between the laser flange and the scan head. The adapter's mechanical interfaces enable quick and straightforward mounting between the scan head and laser flange – thus ensuring easy integration into new or existing systems. A high degree of installation flexibility is provided via alternative orientations of the objective with camera.

To facilitate monitoring of work surfaces, light arriving from the workpiece is decoupled via the adapter's beam splitter and directed through the camera's objective onto its imaging chip. The laser beam on the other hand passes practically unattenuated through the beam splitter to the scan system. Optical configurations are available for various wavelengths.

Customers can freely select a camera suitable for their requirements and attach it via a C-mount.

The camera adapter is specifically designed for maximum observation field size and its integrated iris diaphragm can be adjusted for optimal imaging quality. In addition, color or interference filters can be installed.
