3D Scan Heads

ARGES 3D scan heads are available with a variety of apertures, mirror coatings, f-Theta lenses and/or focus translators, shutters, attenuators and 2D beam displacers as complete scan solutions for industrial system manufacturers and integrators. The electronic design in state of the art surface mount technology maximizes thermal stability, static and dynamic optical performance in robust housings.

ARGES 3D scan heads can be purchased with a so called digital interface implementing useful features and Plug&Play operation.

ARGES 3D scan heads are putting class leading performance into a series of functional designed and ultra compact housings.

WOMBAT Scan Head with embedded laser
		ARGES introduces a highly integrated, powerful scan head called WOMBAT. The WOMBAT is an innovative, unique, and compact all-in-one laser processing system combining precise 2D and 3D optical scanning solutions using the Spectra-Physics Explorer® OEM laser. The integration of the Explorer laser into the WOMBAT scan head makes this system the ultimate solution for demanding applications, such as thin film photovoltaic, micro structuring, laser trimming, intra-glass or glass surface marking, engraving, or ID and security labelling, just to name a few. more

3D-TEACH-IN with the REMOTE WELDING ELEPHANT
		The REMOTE WELDING ELEPHANT is a scan head using post objective scanning. The objective—a fast, precise and tilt-free galvanometer controlled beam expander with diffraction limited design—is capable of adjusting the laser spot size on the target and launching new emerging 3D applications. TEACH-IN weld points on the target with a track ball. more
