Optical Encoders

Scanner Optics offers a complete line of optical encoders designed for high-precision motion control in galvanometer scanner systems and laser processing platforms. Our optical encoder types include both rotary optical encoders for accurate angular feedback in galvo motors, and linear optical encoders for precise position sensing in dynamic stages. All models feature non-contact encoder optics, compact structure, and high-resolution digital output, ensuring stable performance in demanding environments such as laser marking, cutting, 3D machining, and medical scanning.

The rotary optical encoder series provides reliable closed-loop feedback for mirror positioning in high-speed galvo scan heads, while the Smart Incremental Series—our linear optical encoder solution—features an open design with a compact readhead, built-in LED indicator, and resolution up to 32 nm. Whether for angular or linear feedback, Scanner Optics delivers precise, durable, and integrable encoder solutions optimized for modern laser and motion control applications.
