Hello to all,
We have a major update for the 5100 :
In order to help those scanners perform better on the very low voltage PS (13.5V) we redesigned the whole motor by scaling it down. This reduced the back EMF considerably, so now the 5110 (their new name) will do 30K@12 deg, or 40K@5deg, coming close to the other ''external amp'' scanners on the market. This performance comes with the standard mirror set, which is a little bigger than usual (6.85mm wide X mirror vs 6mm and 5.3mm Y mirror vs 5mm).
We are still on the testing side but they look really nice. And remember that this is accomplished with a 2x2cm servo inside the scanner that also includes the position sensor (Hamamatsu PSD) and linearization circuitry !
Note to Michael: The PSU is designed to fit between the scanners, filling the empty space. You should end up with a total footprint of around 9x9 cm.
The 5100 (now 5110) are designed with the absolute minimum size in mind. If you want better performance at low cost, our field tested and proven 4000 series will do the job for only 70 Euro more. They support a wide range of mirrors, up to 12x20mm.
They are -by far- the coolest running galvos on the market with only the 1/6 of the coil resistance of recently introduced ones (0.5 Ohms vs 3 Ohms). This makes them literally indestructible from any abuse, even if done deliberatly. This is proven for more than 10 years and with tens of thousands of units sold.
All the best to all,
Tom Kamaras
