Which scan system is the most suitable for your application also depends on such factors as your overall laser processing setup's requirements regarding the scan system's dimensions and weight, and the types and locations of its electrical interfaces.

To enable optimal integration into overall setups, SCANLAB's scan systems are available in a variety of optical configurations, connection variants and housing types.

SCANLAB integrates all scan components required for two-dimensional laser beam deflection into a compact sealed housing that provides mechanical and electrical shielding. The housing is designed for attachment to a laser flange.

Standardized electrical interfaces facilitate straight-forward connections to a controller and power supply, thus enabling quick and easy integration of the scan system into your overall setup. The scan system's size and weight depend on the aperture and type of servo electronics.

Scan modules are delivered by SCANLAB without housings or without sealed housings. Each scan head is generally also available as a scan module − useful, for example, in laser processing setups with tight space constraints where integration of a scan head would be difficult or impossible. The system integrator is responsible for developing solutions for mechanical and electrical shielding of the scan module. Thereby flexible positioning of individual components within the overall setup is possible.

Some scan head types are available in variants that differ in terms of the type and location of electrical connections for power and data transfer. For applications with extreme requirements that present the risk of overheating the scanners or electronics, SCANLAB also offers scan systems with water cooling.
