Description 

The Compact 506 is a dual-axis galvanometer-based optical scanning system, using a 3mm aperture mirror set.  This system includes two Compact 506 galvos, the Mach-DSP servo amplifier (driver), protected silver mirrors to accept a 3mm beam, a ±24V power supply, aluminum XY mount, and two scanner cables.

These dual-axis 3mm Compact 506 optical scanners are capable of scanning as wide as 60° optical peak-to-peak at speeds up to ILDA 40K / 3.3 kHz small signal bandwidth.

The Compact 506 is our most cost-effective optical scanner, designed for applications where small size and weight are important factors while maintaining respectable, industry-standard performance.

The Mach DSP Servo Driver is a compact digital amplifier with internal memory that provides full, dual-axis control. The Mach DSP Servo Driver accepts both analog and digital (XY2-100) input signals, can store up to four different tunings, and supports PD, PID, PDF, and PDFF servo control laws. The included ScannerMAX GUI software features a built-in oscilloscope, test signal generator, dynamic signal analyzer, and more.

Galvos featuring alternative configurations with different coil resistance, mirror size, mirror coating, galvanometer mount, cable length, digital protocols (FB4) and more are available for custom order through our Quote Form.

Common Applications

Typical applications for Compact 506 include 3D printing, LIDAR, portable displays, laser cleaning, and handheld medical instruments.
