Rotary Wedge Scanner
Laser Mechanisms’ Rotary Wedge Scanner head delivers fully programmable X-Y motion control for laser welding and drilling applications. A working envelope of more than 250 mm in diameter is possible – or choose a < 2 mm diameter envelope for ultra-fine trepanning inside the nozzle tip. The Rotary Wedge Scanner easily adapts to the shapes you need to produce.
The Rotary Wedge Scanner has the simplicity, flexibility and program control to allow easy integration to any laser process. Simpler and more easily programmed than a galvo-based system, the Rotary Wedge Scanner provides rugged beam steering for your laser process.
Placed above a welding lens, it can produce an array of spot welds and shaped seam welds. Carry the welding unit with a robot for remote-welding shapes. Install low angle wedges and place it above a drilling unit and the system can trepan precision round and shaped holes with less taper.
