Scanner Optics at LASER World of PHOTONICS 2025: Advancing High-Speed Scanning

From June 24–27, Scanner Optics was proud to participate in Laser World of Photonics 2025 in Munich, Germany — the world’s leading trade fair for photonics components, systems, and applications. With over 1,300 exhibitors and 44,000 visitors, this year’s event served as a powerful platform to showcase our latest innovations in galvo scanner system.

Showcasing Cutting-Edge Laser Motion Technologies

At Booth 236, Hall A3, Scanner Optics introduced a range of advanced products designed to enhance precision, speed, and flexibility in laser processing systems:

Advanced Polygon Scanner for High-Efficiency Laser Systems

Scanner Optics polygon scanner is designed with a one-dimensional polygon mirror and a one-dimensional galvanometer, which can realize two-dimensional surface scanning without a motion axis. Self-designed high-precision polygon mirror and high-speed BLDC motor working with a high-performance digital driver board realize ultra-high-speecscanning while ensuring high-speed stability. The scanning stating point detection module can detect the starting point of polygon mirror surface, and it works with Scanner Optics GMC controller and special marking software to simplify the system integration for customers.

Scanner Optics polygon scan head is applicable to various application scenarios such as picosecond, femtosecond laserswith high repetition frequency and high-power continuous lasers. lt can achieve a scanning speed of 260 m/s and an incomparable processing efficiency for galvanometers.

UltraScan and ExtraScan Galvo Scan Heads 

The UltraScan Scan Head features low noise, high linearity, and minimal thermal drift. Its modular design ensures easy installation and maintenance, and it supports various F-theta lenses. It is compatible with standard protocols such as XY2-100 and can be adapted to other communication interfaces. Notably, our UltraScan II GS is characterized by the following features: Maximum scan speed is greater than 240rad/s;  New water-cooling design to cool motor and drive efficiently；Maximum 3KW fiber laser power; High precision. Long term drift is less than 100μrad.

The ExtraScan Scan Head is equipped with a self-developed, high-precision 23-bit grating encoder and digital servo motor, delivering outstanding positioning accuracy and repeatability. Real-time galvanometer status monitoring enhances safety and reliability, while its fully digital architecture minimizes drift and ensures excellent long-term stability. In particular, the ExtraScan IV Scan Head features a digital PWM output stage, which significantly reduces power consumption and heat generation. This not only improves energy efficiency but also contributes to extended system lifespan and higher operational stability in demanding environments.

STGalvo Motors and ExtraGalvo Motors

In addition to scan heads, Scanner Optics also showcased our high-performance galvo motors for precise beam positioning. Our ST Galvo Motors use a photoelectric sensor for position feedback, offering high repeatability, good linearity, and excellent cost performance. Compared to ST Galvo Motors, our ExtraGalvo motors use grating encoders as their position feedback system, providing higher position resolution, improved repeatability, and lower drift. They maintain superior performance even under changing ambient temperatures.

Engaging with the Global Photonics Community

Throughout the four-day exhibition, our team had the opportunity to connect with industry leaders, R&D engineers, and system integrators from across Europe, North America, and Asia. We were thrilled to discuss customized solutions, OEM integration options, and upcoming trends.
