Dual Axis Galvanometer Optical Scanners

Dual Axis Galvanometer Optical Scanners provide superior positioning speed and accuracy precision than comparable compact, cost-sensitive, closed loop galvanometers. Featuring low inertias, compact sizes, and high speeds and accuracies, these galvos are ideal for applications including biomedical systems, optical coherence tomography, laser projection, confocal microscopy, and analytical instrumentation.

The dual axis servo driver provides optimal repeatability, linearity, stability, and cost in a very compact package. An analog command input of up to ±10V DC results in either ±5 (#86-609) or ±10 (#11-761) mechanical degrees of scanner rotation. The error integrator in the servo loop enables microradian level position accuracy. The built-in system conditioning and position and velocity status monitoring make the integration of the driver board easy and accurate in complex scanning system applications. It includes two galvanometers, a dual axis integrating servo driver amplifier, two interconnect cables, an XY galvo mount, and a 5mm or 10mm (specified in product description) aperture XY mirror set. Tuning/signal monitoring breakout board for 6215H (#88-156) provides access to all galvanometer and servo signals and #88-170 provides easy-to-use BNC input and crimp-pin terminated power/ground cables.

Note: It is strongly recommended that a heat sink be placed in contact with the servo driver board during operation. The thermal grease improves heat transfer between servo driver board and heat sink (not included). A positive and a negative power supply (not included) are required to operate the driver board. Choose either #14-571 (two required) or #59-026 (one required).
