How Laser Beam Steering Technology Works
Laser beam steering solutions are used to direct a laser’s output beam to the target area with extreme precision, enabling the laser source to remain stationary. Optical components such as specialized mirrors combined with high-precision, high-speed galvanometers, resonant scanners, or polygon scanners change the angle of the laser’s output beam, enabling extremely fast and precise positioning for laser processing.
Modern beam steering components and systems measure positioning accuracy in micrometers (µm), enabling accurate, high-level laser processing quality. Laser beam steering solutions are typically available as individual components, modules that combine individual components, and laser scanning heads that integrate components and modules into a single unit.
