QS-12 Open Frame 2-Axis Scan Head
For Faster, More Powerful XY Beam Steering
With recommended apertures of 10mm,15mm & 20mm
Nutfield Technology’s QS-12 Open Frame Scan Head includes two galvanometers with mirrors mounted in optimized XY configuration, two servo amplifiers (require mounting to heat sink, not provided), and galvo-to-servo cable sets. Open frame heads are compact and provide flexibility for mounting in OEM applications or products.
Nutfield Technology’s open frame scan heads feature our groundbreaking OPD (Optical Position Detector) galvanometer design. Our QS-12 OPD enables an unsurpassed combination of high linearity and low drift required for high precision applications.
Nutfield Tech’s QS-12 Open Frame Scan Head features factory-set ±5 or ±10VDC analog inputs that produce ±22.5 degrees optical scan angles. Available match-tuning ensures same X & Y galvo response given the same input command. The QS-12 OFH is available in 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm apertures for a variety of wavelengths.
