Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The Lincoln POLYtek™ Series Polygonal Scan Heads are designed for ultra-high-speed, single-axis scanning on moving targets. They feature a precision polygonal mirror, a DC brushless drive motor assembly, and a 'Start of Scan' laser synchronization system. These components enable advanced line-scanning capabilities and ease system integration with commercially available controllers and software interfaces.

Key Features
  • Scan rates up to 512 m/s (1600 lines/s) for advanced scanning applications.
  • Optional Y-axis galvanometer for geometric polygonal mirror error correction and Y-axis indexing.
  • Industry-standard raster-based controls format for reduced setup time and effort.
  • Compatible with 355 nm, 532 nm, 1064 nm, and 10.6 micron wavelength lasers.

Specifications
  • Wavelength Options: 355 nm, 532 nm, 1064 nm, 10.6 μm.
  • Scan Rate: 150 – 800 lines/s (Standard), 0 – 1600 lines/s (Optional).
  • Scan Speed: 48 – 256 m/s (Standard), 0 – 512 m/s (Optional).
  • Input Beam Size: 15 mm (Max.).
  • Line Placement Repeatability: Y-Axis ±48 μrad, X-Axis ±48 μrad.
  • Output Scan Angle: ±16° (Typical).
  • Operating Temperature: 15°C ±10°C.
  • Input Power: 120 VAC to controller.
  • Dimensions: 10 in x 10.88 in x 11.43 in (254 mm x 276 mm x 290 mm).

Applications
The POLYtek scan heads are suitable for use with ultra-short-pulse picosecond and femtosecond lasers, as well as continuous wave lasers in high-throughput and high-percentage-fill raster applications.
