Galvanometer Scanners

SCANLAB's dynAXIS galvanometer scanners are high-performance rotary motors for optical applications. Their exceptional dynamics are the result of years of experience developing and manufacturing scanners, scan systems and scan solutions for industrial use.

The motor section of dynAXIS galvanometer scanners is based on moving magnet technology and a high-accuracy position detector . Thus, those galvos allow fast and precise positioning of mirrors to deflect laser beams.

Durable and Ideal for Diverse Applications

Manufactured in Germany according to ISO 9001 standards, the high quality of SCANLAB's galvanometer scanners enables error-free operation in long-term and continuous use.
Galvanometer scanners are available in various sizes and configurations. Additionally, optimized mirrors and servo boards are available for a wide variety of applications, with coatings for all common wavelengths and laser powers.

dynAXIS Series - Galvos for Standard Applications

dynAXIS scanners achieve high resolution, as well as good repeatability and drift properties through their optical positioning systems. Motors are ideally matched to the deflection mirror's inertial load. dynAXIS scanners are available with different mirrors for apertures from 6 mm to 30 mm. This allows the galvanometer scanner to be optimally selected and configured for a wide variety of applications.
The optimized rotor design is largely responsible for the favorable dynamic properties and settling characteristics. Axially pre-loaded precision ball bearings guarantee a backlash-free rotor with high stiffness and low friction. Special attention has been paid to bearing technology to ensure long lifetime in the most demanding applications.

dynAXIS 3 Series – Even Better Drift Values

Scanners of the dynAXIS 3 series feature an improved position detector for exceptionally low drift , highest linearity and, optionally, extended deflection angles. The dynAXIS 3 scanners are available with scan mirrors for apertures from 10 mm to 30 mm and can be designed and used application-specific.

dynAXIS 421 - Compact and Fast

For applications that demand compact and fast galvanometer scanners with apertures from 3 mm to 6 mm, SCANLAB offers the new dynAXIS 421 equipped with the latest position detector technology. It combines superior acceleration capabilities with high accuracy. Those properties make dynAXIS 421 galvos ideal for applications requiring fast and precise scanning with small mirrors. Typical applications are biomedical and ophthalmic imaging, confocal microscopy and laser-assisted medical treatments.
