Product catalog summary
Product Highlights
The ScanMaster Controller (SMC) integrates with ScanMaster Designer (SMD) software and LightningTM scan heads to achieve high system throughput, resolution, and accuracy. It uses proprietary ScanPack algorithms for synchronizing mirror position with laser firing, optimizing throughput for applications like via-hole drilling. The SMD software supports all standard file formats and offers graphic design tools.

Key Features
  • 24-bit GSBus command resolution for precise positioning.
  • Proprietary algorithms for fast galvanometer control and laser synchronization.
  • Versatile connectivity for easy integration and quick startup.
  • Robust Ethernet connection to PC.
  • Intuitive user interface for job creation.

Product Specifications
Galvanometer Control: Compatible with 2-Axis and 3-Axis configurations, supports two scan heads, and offers traditional or ScanPack control schemes.
Laser Control: Includes various laser-specific adapters and multiple digital and analog output signals.
System Integration: Features Ethernet communication, RS-232 interfaces, and multiple digital I/O options for external equipment control.
Safety and Operation: Includes interlock inputs, stand-alone operation capability with a 3GB Micro SD card, and a power supply range of 15V to 48V.
Software Environment: Supports Windows 7 and offers a ScanMaster API.

ScanMaster Controller-1

ScanMaster Designer .Dynamic Text Barcode Message.sdw • Scan Project oiSL Scan Selected Shapes ScanMaster Controller Product Highlights The industry's highest system throughput, resolution, and accuracy are now possible by integrating our ScanMaster Controller (SMC) and ScanMaster Designer (SMD) software with our Lightning™ scan heads. The SMC is designed to synchronize mirror position with laser firing using proprietary ScanPack algorithms or with traditional control schemes. The predictive control algorithm optimizes the synchronization process to further increase throughput making it ideal for demanding applications such as via-hole drilling (VHD). Our SMD software features a powerful package of graphic design tools that conveniently supports all standard file formats. Achieve maximum throughput using our optimized, proprietary technologies • 24-bit GSBus command resolution permits unprecedented position accuracy • Proprietary ScanPack algorithms enable fast, precise galvanometer control and laser synchronization • Versatile system connectivity ensures easy integration and quick system startup • Robust connection to PC through Ethernet • Supporting software features intuitive user interface that facilitates job creation
