Newson Engineering NV

Designs, develops and manufactures rhothor laser deflection systems for fast and accurate laser positioning in marking and micro machining applications."Application Adaptable Laser Beam Deflection Technology"

by Newson Engineering

Inspired by the flexible use of servos in radio controlled model aeroplanes, Newson designed an adaptable scan solution for laser beam steering. The keystone is the Smart Deflector.

A Smart Deflector is a scan motor with a locally integrated regulator and amplifier. This motor is capable to handle the mirror position all by itself without extra regulation or amplifier board. This makes it an easy tool to design scan solutions for generic and specific applications.

The Smart Deflector is fitted with a single coaxial connector providing power as well as data connection. Simple modulation electronics allow the user to send the setpoint data directly to the motor. The mirror positioning is done by the motor itself.

Smart Deflector Key Data:

-Coaxial SDP (Shared Data Power) connection

-Optical position sensor for minimal drift

-18 bit A/D convertor for superior resolution

-Digital Regulator Technology

-Class D amplifier for maximum efficiency

-Spring preloaded hybrid bearing system for long life time

-Field replaceable mirror

Application Interface Blocks:

Application interface blocks are available to provide a ready to go connection of the Smart Deflectors within their application.

-XY2_100 interface for connection with third party ectronics

-USB, TCP-IP interface and software library for direct connection with computer

-Software development kit for direct marking of common file types (BMP, JPEG, DXF, True Type Fonts,...)

-Image pre-programming for use without computer (Flash)

-Automatic 2D and 3D calibration
