2-axis laser scan heads move the laser beam in two dimensions (X and Y), placing the laser spot in precise locations within a defined area. This enables high precision 2-dimensional laser processing, essential for laser cutting, marking, coding, drilling, and other key processing applications on flat surfaces.
3-axis laser scan heads are used to direct laser beams across dimensional surfaces with high precision, placing the laser spot in precise locations within a defined area. These scan heads move a beam along three axes of control (X, Y and Z), providing the level of enhanced flexibility required for laser processing on curved and angled surfaces without distortion. Our 3-axis galvo scan head solutions are essential for late-stage alterations, wide field laser processing, and additive manufacturing.
Multi-axis scan heads include 3 linear axes (X, Y and Z) with 2 additional rotational axes in a protective enclosure to enable laser processing on multi-faceted surfaces and create complex hole tapers in thicker materials. A multi-axis scan head is a sophisticated piece of equipment, enabling cutting with multiple edge tapers, drilling complex concave and convex tapers, and creating complex surface geometries in a single process step.
