Air Bearing Polygon Scanners

Our highly engineered components and subsystem solutions—combined with deep expertise in advanced photonics—make us the global technology partner of choice for advanced industrial OEMs and system integrators. Our air bearing polygon scanners combine expertise from our Cambridge Technology engineering team to develop polygonal scanners with high precision for high-speed raster scanning.

Air Bearing Polygon Scanners
Description

Engineered by Cambridge Technology, our air bearing based polygon scanners provide excellent repeatability and long lifetime due to no bearing wear while the scanner is operating. These scanners feature speeds ranging from 6,000 to 55,000 RPM for aerodynamic scanners and from 0 to 30,000 RPM for aerostatic scanners.
