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.

FAQ: Scan Heads and Galvo Laser Engravers

Q1: What is the function of a laser scan head?
A1: It directs and focuses the laser beam with high precision via galvanometer motors, enabling accurate marking and engraving.

Q2: What’s the difference between a galvo laser engraver and a CNC laser?
A2: Galvo systems use mirrors (not motors) for beam positioning, offering faster speeds and finer control, especially for marking and light engraving.

Q3: Is JCZ scan head compatible with third-party lasers?
A3: Yes, JCZ scan heads work with most mainstream laser sources including IPG, JPT, Raycus, Max, Coherent, etc.

Q4: Can JCZ provide customized scan head solutions?
A4: Absolutely. JCZ supports custom field sizes, wavelengths, feedback options, and 3D marking support.
