The SC-10 and SC-20 type scanners are low cost, compact size components especially suited for high volume OEM and custom industrial applications.

The scanners can easily be incorporated in small size and portable instruments. Glass mirrors are standard. Metal mirrors, gratings, lenses or other optical attachments are available as special order. Also available are mirrors for UV-IR-VIS applications.

The scanners require only minimal power. Since they are components that have no wearing parts, they provide excellent repeatability and long life. The scanners are used in varying applications including:

  • Surface and quality inspection
  • Barcode scanners
  • Pattern forming and recognition
  • Biomedical imaging
  • Non-impact printing
  • Operation at resonant frequency is sustained by a feedback amplifier type ED driver or the AGC driver, using the scanner as a frequency source. The AGC driver also provides a higher amplitude stability (0.01%) and a position output signal. The PLD-1S driver will phase lock the scanner to an external clock signal. The PLD-2S driver will phase lock two scanners as a "master/slave" scanning system and the PLD-2SXY driver will phase lock two scanners as an "X-Y" scanning system.

    Special vane configurations, modulating waveforms and shapes are available as a special order (consult EOPC). Drive electronics with different package, regulation and power supply options are available. Special pricing is also available for OEM applications.
