A New Platform for Advanced Scanning

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.

An Unprecedented Level of Speed Stability

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.

A Solid Solution for Large Mirror Scanning

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!
