Our advanced, LightningTM II 3-axis, digital scan heads offer the highest speed and accuracy, and are ideal for very demanding industrial and electronics applications such as additive manufacturing, converting, and micromachining. Our field-proven ProSeries models are built on analog technology with dynamic 3rd axis controls and are best suited for applications such as scribing, photovoltaic, micromachining, rapid manufacturing, and converting. The high power model is the ideal scanning solution for laser welding. All of our scan heads are designed to operate in conjunction with Cambridge Technology controllers and software.
