Scan systems transform lasers into highly flexible processing tools. The range of functionality strongly depends on both the controller and the scan system's servo electronics. The servo electron [..]

cps ( characters per second) is the number of characters/symbols that can be marked in one second. Marking characters and symbols is a standard application for laser scanners. Because the number of ma [..]

Dither is positioning noise of the scan mirrors in the time range of a few milliseconds. Independently of their activated motion, scan mirrors oscillate irregularly across a broad frequency spectrum f [..]

Drift is alteration of the image field over a long time period (from five minutes up to several hours). At long time scales, mechanical and electronic effects occur that influence the image field. The [..]

Gain error is incorrect scaling of the image field axes. What causes gain error? Each system responds uniquely to control, and the calibration angle varies from system to system. In marking, departure [..]

see Nonlinearity

Nonlinearity describes image field distortions that can't be attributed to linear effects such as Gain Error, Offset Error and Skew Error. What causes nonlinearity? Ideally, the position detector [..]
