Description

The Saturn 9B is a dual-axis galvanometer-based optical scanning system, using a 10mm aperture mirror set.  This system includes two Saturn 9B galvos, the Mach-DSP servo amplifier (driver), protected silver mirrors to accept a 10mm beam, a ±24V power supply, aluminum XY mount, and two scanner cables. 

These dual-axis 10mm Saturn 9B optical scanners are capable of scanning as wide as 40° optical peak-to-peak at speeds of up to 2.5 kHz small signal bandwidth (ILDA 30K).

In addition to its high-speed and large-beam capabilities, the Saturn 9B incorporates several very desirable design features. Using our patented X3 magnetic circuit, Saturn 9B scanners can move faster with less power and heat generation than conventional galvos.

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 Saturn 9B include LIDAR systems, material processing systems, laser marking, and high-power image/template projection.
