Jun 30, 2025 · What is a galvo head? A galvo head, also known as a galvo scanner or laser scan head, is an opto-mechatronic system designed to steer a laser beam in two dimensions.

Aug 19, 2025 · At its core, a galvo is a motorized mirror system. In stage lighting, a galvo laser uses one or two mirrors, each attached to a galvanometer, to control the direction of a laser beam. By tilting …

Galvo lasers are a type of laser engraving system renowned for their speed and precision. These systems utilize galvanometer mirrors to steer the laser beam across the target material, allowing for …

Aug 13, 2025 · Scanning galvos, unlike resonant polygon mirrors or AOD/EODs, offer high speed, precision, and arbitrary vector addressing under computerized control, enabling arbitrary (X, Y) …

Sep 4, 2023 · A galvo laser employs two precision mirror galvanometers to direct the laser beam at any angle within the marking window. The two mirrors scan along the X and Y axes, detecting and …

Galvo heads make it possible to reach high processing speeds for cutting applications. Galvo heads are perfect for the processing of thin materials such as paper, cardboard and plastic film.

Laser Galvo, short for galvanometer, is an optical device that moves a mirror or lens in response to electrical signals, usually in the laser galvo scanner. The movement of the mirror or lens allows for …

Our selection of scanners includes our VantagePro® line of 1-, 2-, and 3-axis galvos and a resonant scanner, in addition to other packaged scan heads, which are ready for Thorlabs' construction …

Jan 10, 2025 · Laser galvanometers, also known as galvo systems, play a crucial role in modern manufacturing, enabling exceptional precision in laser beam control through mirror movement.

Sep 8, 2025 · Galvo machines use motor-based mirrors and high speed to move the laser beam through its lens. Depending on the position and field, the laser beam can submerge into the material at a …
