I77J1 Saturn 5B Optical Scanner for 5mm - 6mm apertures APPLICATIONS ■ Laser entertainment (light show) displays ■ Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) ■ Confocal Microscopy / Raster Imaging ■ Optical Layout Templates ■ Stronger rotor and shafts Pictured with 5mm Y mirror ■ Integrated back-supporting mirror mount design ■ Long-life, SV30/silicon dioxide ceramic, hybrid bearings ■ Trapezoidal position sensor with high output and low noise ■ Cooler-running motor magnetic design BENEFITS ■ High speed mirror positioning ■ Wide-angle scanning, up to 110 degrees optical ■ Low coil resistance for low heat generation during scanning ■ Low thermal resistance for enhanced heat removal ■ Low wobble and jitter GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Saturn 5B optical scanner is specifically designed to meet the high acceleration and high RMS duty cycle demands of projection and imaging applications such as laser entertainment displays, raster imaging, Confocal Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography. The Saturn 5B is capable of moving a 5mm beam through an optical angle of 40° at a frequency of over 1 kHz with a sinusoidal drive. Step response times with a 5mm beam can be as fast as 120 microseconds for a small optical step, and 600 microseconds for a 60° optical step, easily delivering scanning speeds of ILDA 60K / 5kHz small signal bandwidth, with a true 5mm beam. The patented X3 magnetic circuit boasts air gap flux densities of over 14,000 Gauss. The intense magnetic field strength, combined with the very low coil resistance and low rotor inertia, gives the Saturn 5B the highest RMS-torque-to-inertia ratio of any commercially-available optical scanner capable of moving a 5mm beam. The new -74S version utilizes a coil optimized for raster imaging, further reducing heat generated by both the scanner and driver. The Saturn 5B incorporates all of the other design features of other ScannerMAX Saturn-family scanners, including a half-inch round body diameter, back-supporting mirror mount design, and high-output, low-noise position sensor.

Saturn 5B Optical Scanner for 5mm - 6mm aperturesSaturn 5B-74S Performance with selected ScannerMAX mirror sets” Parameter 1. Graph denotes theoretical maximum performance of the scanner due to thermal limitations, with case at 50°C. Other factors may prevent the scanner from reaching this maximum, such as servo driver and power supply. 2. Angular specifications are in mechanical degrees. For most applications, optical angle = 2x mechanical angle. 3. Saturn 5B versions -46S and -74S use different coil configurations, beneficial for certain imaging applications. Saturn scanners can easily be...
