Characteristics evaluation of galvanoscanner

 

Galvanoscanner is equipped with a motor to adjust the scanning angle of the mirror that reflects the laser beam and a high-precision position sensor. It is used in a wide range of applications in combination with laser beam, such as laser markers, microscopes, and LiDAR, and is required to scan mirrors over a wide range at high speed and with high precision. When developing products, it is necessary to perform highly accurate simulations to achieve high speeds and optimize models and control parameters. In addition, in order for customers to use products with peace of mind, it is required to confirm that the product's performance is guaranteed before shipping. Therefore, it was a challenge to easily measure and understand the control characteristics of the galvanoscanner and the mirror's resonant frequency with high precision.

Example 1: Measurement of galvano mirror resonance

When the mirror operates near the resonance frequency, the mirror may vibrate greatly, and when used for image processing, the image may be distorted. Additionally, if the resonant frequency is lower than the design value, the mirror will not operate with high response as it cannot be controlled with high gain. For these reasons, it is very important to understand the resonant frequency of galvano mirror.

 

Product shipping inspection
- Inspect whether the characteristics of produced galvano mirrors meet the specifications.

Research and development
- Evaluate whether the characteristics match the design
