EMS-9000 Digi
High-end, precision scanner system
with advanced digital servo driver
for 8.3mm and 10mm apertures
The EMS-9000 Digi is optimized for high speed applications with large sized beams
Key features include :
Galvo Motor
- Low inductance coreless design for the fastest acceleration
- Unparalleled heat transfer from coil to case, thanks to a novel bonding technique
- Greatly increased ball bearing lifetime, using an ''inside-out'' ball preloading
- High precision monolithic differential position detector cancels mismatch between discreet elements
- Position detector amplifier is built into the scanner, giving high S/N ratio while avoiding the need for
cumbersome dual shielded cables
Mirrors
- Fused silica substrate with whiteligt dielectric, YAG or CO2 coatings, flatness l/4 over 10mm diameter.
- Mirrors are designed and cut/milled inhouse. We have developed a special CNC setup for cutting and 3D
milling of mirror sheets, with 0.01mm precision.
- Unique back thinned mirrors with ceramic center supports, offer low inertia and high stiffness.
This translates to higher speeds, lower heat load for the motors and out of band resonances.
- Oversized mirror design to support 'square' beam profiles from diode matrix lasers.
Servo Driver
- Digital dual axis servo driver. Small dimensions, similar to most analog drivers on the market.
- Modified PID based control with extra filters and prediction enhancements.
- Canceling of mirror or rotor resonances without a notch-filter.
- Scanner position calculation using signal ratio method. No analog components (AGC) to keep the excitation
led steady, keeping drifts to a minimum.
- Pincushion and f-theta distortion correction in realtime, using mathematical calculations (not matrix tables
and fit curves). Ideal for additive manufacturing. The system designer does not have to cope with complex
routines in his control software. For laser display, it makes the projection ''square'', much like a video
projector.
- Motor protection routine de-tunes the servo when overloaded and keeps the power to the coil at safe levels.
- Integrated scan safety routine for laser display, blocks the laser when the beam velocity drops below a
certain limit. Threshold speed and activation time are adjustable via USB. Perfect match for our NanoAct
shutter.
- Two general purpose outputs, activated from specific patterns being sent to the driver. Control devices or
energize actuators for ''beam table'' type effects in laser display, without extra setup.
