varioSCANde®20i – Digital control for smart focusing

Building on SCANLAB's highly successful intelliSCAN® series of digitally controlled scan heads, the varioSCANde®20i delivers unprecedented Z axis performance for applications requiring highly dynamic and precise positioning within a 3D processing volume. The varioSCANde®20i delivers twice the Z focus shift than previously available on a standard varioSCAN.

The varioSCANde®20i's true digital encoder feedback and control system offers the advantage of improved dynamics, elimination of drift effects, and a wide variety of operational data returned to the RTC® PC Interface board via a separate status channel.

Users now have the possibility of monitoring the actual position values of the varioSCANde®20i during the entire run time of an application as well as querying data from a comprehensive suite of operational parameters available via the varioSCANde®20i's separate status channel.

SCANLAB's innovative iDRIVE® technology continuously raises the standard of high performance laser beam positioning in 3 axes.
