Optical Scanners: 6200H Moving Magnet Closed Loop Galvanometer Based Optical Scanner

The 6200H series of closed loop galvanometers combines Cambridge Technology's moving magnet actuator technology and our innovative patented advanced optical position detector design. This combination offers the highest positioning speed and precision accuracy in compact, lower cost closed loop galvanometers. The 6200H series scanning systems can be designed and optimized for speed, size, cost and accuracy with typical beam diameters in the 3 to 30 mm ranges.

Model 6215H Moving Magnet Closed Loop Galvanometer Based Optical Scanner

Supports apertures of 3mm, 4mm, and 6mm. Shown here with B connecter and 6mm Y mirror.
