Precision Rotating Optics – Polygon Scanners – Monogon Scanners – And More
Waterloo is proud to announce a new platform for optical scanning, the LC Series. This platform accommodates a range of mid size mirrors, typically from 10 to 30 mm facet size. It integrates both robust metal mount points for the scanner body as well as mounts for the integrated driver PCB. This is fully compatible with Waterloo’s new high stability driver technology, and is now ready advance your latest optics product.
Waterloo has developed a new class of optical scanner drivers that deliver excellent speed stability. A constant rotational speed is critical for many applications, and more difficult to obtain at lower rotational speeds. In partnership with one of our customers, we have met their stringent requirements, showing speed stability approaching 0.001% at 50 RPM. This parameter is defined as the standard deviation of the rotational period divided by the average rotational period. 0.001% deviation means that the optic only rotates 13 arc seconds faster or slower than its average, enabling precise LiDAR, medical, and scientific applications to succeed.
Announcing the FE Series scanning platform! We have designed a large, robust drive train able to spin medium and large optics with an excellent level of precision. This this new base model is adaptable to a range of custom optics and and deliver speeds from 50 to 20,000 RPM. We have integrated low cogging motor components and high quality angular contact bearings to deliver precision operation for years to come. Contact us to learn more!
Waterloo is now providing high speed air bearing scanners into a range of markets. Tiers of being ignored by the big players? Tired of your smaller order being rejected? Tiers of lead times that are measured in quarters or years? We would love to speak to you to see how we can make your new optical system stand out.
Waterloo Optics high speed optical scanner prototypes are now up and running. These initial prototypes demonstrate the fundamentals of performance: the low cost manufacturing, the lifetime and reliability of the system, the performance of the aerodynamic air bearings, and the motor and power. As the testing continues, we will be delivering evaluation units to our first customers, and we would love to speak to you to see how we can make your new optical system stand out.
We are launching a new high speed polygon scanner platform and will be delivering first production units to our launch customers soon. This platform allows for a full range of options depending on your needs:
