PRODUCT OVERVIEW MOVIA scan heads are used as part of a galvanometer-based laser system and steer optical beams on a XY image field (2D) for all possible laser applications. See Figure 1 Figure 1: System Diagram PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION In a MOVIA scan head, two galvanometers scanners with mirrors synchronize and rotate to steer the laser beam across the XY field.
2.2 Product Use Figure 2: Beam Direction PRODUCT USE The MOVIA scan head is delivered as an OEM component for integration into a laser scanning system. Customers must know and apply the rules and regulations for safe operation of lasers when installing and operating the scan head and the system in which it is used.
INSTALLATION REQUIRED SYSTEM PARTS You will need the following components to set up the MOVIA scan head with the galvanometer-based laser system: • Mounting Plate • Mounting Hardware (4× M5 screws, 2× 4 mm dowel pins) • Beam Conditioning Optic, such as a Beam Expander or Collimator (optional) •...
RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES (CUSTOMER SUPPLIED) LASER SHUTTER The MOVIA scan head does not contain a shutter or device to decrease the laser output power. As each laser is unique, it is your responsibility to install a shutter or attenuator as required; please refer to US FDA Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1040.10 for additional information.
MOUNT THE SCAN HEAD Attach the scan head to the mounting plate using the mounting hardware. The scan head has 2 metric dowel pin holes and 4 tapped mounting holes. See Figure 5. MOVIA, 2-Axis Scan Head – User Manual, 1040–0004 Rev. 03...
3.3.3 ATTACH THE POWER/DATA CABLE TO THE SCAN HEAD With power off, use the power/data cable to connect the MOVIA scan head to the system controller and ±15 V power supply. It is recommended that the power supply voltages are verified before connecting the cable to the head to avoid any damage.
The ground and voltage channels provide power to the scan VOLTAGE head.
