Operation Of A Laser Marker With Galvometric Scanning; Marking Software - Datalogic UniQ 1150-1X41 Product Reference Manual

INTRODUCTION

Operation of a Laser Marker with Galvometric Scanning

During the marking the laser generates an invisible, high-energy infrared beam.
In order to obtain a more accurate focus, the laser beam is first enlarged using an optical
expansion system and then deflected by a scanning system consisting of two mirrors
mounted on galvanometric motors.
These mirrors deflect the beam in a controlled path along the X and Y axes; processing
of the product surface occurs by coordinating the movement of the two mirrors and the
turning on/off of the laser beam.
The deflected laser beam is focused by an F-Theta scan lens on the surface of the prod-
uct.
Generally speaking, the marking is carried out within the focus plane of the F-Theta scan
lens.
