ASC, System Controller HSSI Series

The ASC controller and InScript software solution for our ARGES scan heads features powerful synchronization tools to enhance laser system performance. Featuring real-time control signals, remote diagnostics and administration, and high accuracy and throughput for demanding applications, this laser controller solution empowers users with more control and flexibility to optimize their laser system.

ASC, System Controller HSSI Series
Description

Compatible with our ARGES scan heads, ASC is the central device in a laser system, controlling scan heads, lasers, sensors, actuators, and other peripherals. The ASC, HSSI series uses the High-Speed Serial Interface (HSSI) data protocol for scan head communication. A combination of highly configurable interfaces and processing units responds in real-time to external signals. In this manner the ASC controller guarantees an optimized synchronization of all devices and signals, which is important in laser systems.
