SCANLAB has delivered the first production lot of
digital-encoder-based intelliSCANde®14
scan systems for integration into manufacturing tools.
The intelliSCANde®14 is a completely digital scan head featuring a digital encoder for position feedback,
iDRIVE®-based
digital control electronics and a 20-bit, SL2-100 control interface. An ideal choice for high precision machining, the intelliSCANde®14 has been designed for applications requiring scan head speed and precision approaching high-end XY stages.
The exceptionally low drift of the intelliSCANde®14 enables tiling in highest precision applications, reducing the need of additional inspection or re-adjustment throughout the process. The intelliSCANde®14 has no "visible" dither and features perfect line straightness achieved with very high 20-bit position resolution. With a tracking error of only 130 µsec the intelliSCANde®14 rivals the fastest existing high-speed scan heads and allows highest processing speeds without burn-in effects.
The intelliSCANde®14 is mechanically and electrically fully compatible to SCANLAB's existing hurrySCAN II®14 and
intelliSCAN®14 scan head series and is available for a wide range of laser processing setups.
