Polygon Optical Scanners

Home » Waterloo Optics Range of Products » Polygon Optical Scanners

We develop polygon optical scanners in a wide range of designs. We can assist you with a fully custom design, or adapt one of our proven platforms to your needs.

Form: Polygons from 3 sides to 12+ sides.

Coatings: Gold, Aluminum, Silver, Dialectic Multi-layers

Control Methodology: Traditional Sensored, Sensorless, Field Oriented Control, Vector Control.

Control Parameter: Rotational Speed, or, Rotational Speed and Phase (a Phase Lock Controller)

Scanner Position Measurement: Monitor position, speed, acceleration, etc. using an encoder, index signal output, or external start of scan sensor.

Performance: 100 to 30,000 rpm, down to 25 arc seconds of dynamic track, fractions of a wavelength in mirror flatness. Precisely balanced for low noise, low power, and long life.

Polygon Scanners – Select Models

Introducing the GE Series polygon scanner.  This high speed, high performance scanner platform provides a precision bearings that needs no external air supply.  Mount it, plug it in, and it is ready to go.

For customization or to place your order, please contact us.

 

For larger mirrors and high moments of inertial, the FE series has you covered.  A custom drive train with precision angular contact bearings enables precision scanner from 50 rpm to about 20,000 RPM.  Contact us to build your vision today.

Our LC series provides a platform for smaller scanners that need to fit into constrained applications, such as automotive LiDAR.  From 50 to 10,000 RPM, a custom version of the LC can enable your next generation product.
