Optimize Your Laser System with Advanced Scan Heads and Laser Galvanometers
In any galvo laser engraver system, the scan head and laser galvanometer form the core of precision and speed. These critical components determine the accuracy, resolution, and processing efficiency of laser marking, engraving, and cutting. JCZ, a trusted name in laser technology, provides high-performance scan heads optimized for various applications including fiber, CO₂, and UV laser systems.
What Is a Laser Scan Head?
A scan head, also known as a galvanometer scan head, is a mechanical assembly consisting of two high-speed galvanometer motors (X and Y axis), mirrors, and control electronics. It directs the laser beam precisely across the surface based on digital signals from the laser controller.
Key Features:
High-speed beam deflection
Precision focusing and movement
Compact and modular design
Efficient heat dissipation for stability
Whether you’re engraving complex designs on metals, plastics, ceramics, or glass, the scan head ensures flawless, distortion-free marking.
