New EYEMAGIC Scanners EMS7000

[pyrodigy]

Thank you Lanek779 for your comments.

if you want to start planning ahead for installing the 7000, one thing i can say for sure. plan ahead for some heavy duty cooling (heatsink and fan mandatory), as the amp cards get seriously HOT in no time. if you bolt these onto your base plate, i think you should cool the entire thing

I will consider heavy duty cooling when started to plan installation scanners and other components.

well, it will definately not be a crap scanner, that much we can tell We should wait a bit then and see how it all goes over at the surfleet meeting this weekend, where (if all goes well) the ems 7000 will be reviewed by many experienced people against ct 6215 and various others.

i aggree with you, we should wait and see some technical experiences how it all goes over in here. what will happen in this weekend ? Any scanner competition

(three cheers for the neighbour comment mate, i just wish more people would think like this, in more parts of the world)

I only glad if i can able to support my neighbour's entrepreneur against the monopolist companies in this way...
Cheers

And if someone posts some test results, could you please do genuine tests?
Not : I really like these, they seem 'stable', ...

Ie. things you can measure

What can we measure with scanners?? Apart from telling it can display a hell of a great ILDA pattern up to 60k (despite the circle being a bit strange, could be the mass of the 5mm aperture mirrors), with very sharp corners, and the displayed picture is not far from perfection, at every angle, I don't know what I can do more for you...

I never had CT scanners, but people who own them for a while (dsli_jon for example), told that EyeMagic scanners are excellent and comparable to CTs, even better under some conditions, especially at large angle. And unbreakable even if you drive them too hard. And I think he was speaking from EMS4000 since EMS7000 are new. So should be even better now, as same manu and same but improved technology.

It just seems to me people are forming their opinion based solely on the specs stated by the manufacturer and maybe some testing needs to be done before recommending these to other people

Astute-point, well-spoke, Sir... however, having-been a long-time 'abuser' of both galvo-makers' top-models, both CT and EMS, what comes to the fore is that both are great, solid werks of engineering, that you can 'bank' shows-on, and each have their 'strong-points' over the other... I'm sure you prolly saw this post? http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...458#post212458 ..point-being, the 'enthusiasm' for the new 7Ks is, indeed, based on past-experience with the 4000s, not just 'word of mouth' / hype..

..Still, you have a valid point - the 7Ks do-yet need to 'prove themselves', long-term.. but, I, for one, have a good deal of 'faith', since I'm sure EMS would not release them if they, too, had not put them thru the 'torture-chamber' pretty-sufficiently..

..but, yes, I too will be eager to 'real-world test' / beat-em-up / watch this thread...

cheers..

In a few mere days my friend. As we speak a pair of 7000's and your 6800 is winging it's way westward.

Does this mean there WILL be a direct comparison of these two systems? Can't wait.

Hmmm, perhaps some tests could be devised...

If anyone has any suggestions for tests or test frames other than the obvious ones, then please bring forward and we'll see what we can do.
Home made scanner test frames full of random points, any form of destruction test, or requests to grab the EMS mirrors with pliers while scanning, will be casually ignored!

Oh Crap!, I hope I haven't let the cat out

No worries Jem, all going to plan at the moment
Seems this LEM is a really good chance to see how the EMS' compare with the CT's, so even in the unlikely event something holds up the projector I'll make sure there's a running set of 7k's there for testing.
Looking forward to this

Raster graphics performance is always interesting.

Indeed... and, that's one 'area' that, imo, the CTs (6215s) seem to produce nicer-looking ('smoother') results.. at least vs the EMS 4Ks...

I'd prpopose testing each, side / side, with several-different of the 'standard' test patterns - one good one is known as the 'Aura Tech' one - with the large-circle, inside a box, with an 'x' from corner-to-corner, thru the center, with 'X' and 'Y' drawn-out, designating each-axis.. The other one that's a 'goodie', is the 'interlaced Grid', with the 'RYGB' / circle, in the center...

..try those two, at 'spec'd' scan-speed / angles.... then try the same side / side.. at 150%-scale.. ..then, slowly-past 150%... and see which still has the 'guts' to continue / at-what %, w/o going into 'freak-out' / collapse-mode... The EMS 4Ks just never 'collapse' / shut-down, into a 'static-beam' like the CTs, when being driven too-hard / large...

Very-keen to see how the 7Ks do in that regard, specifically...

cheers, Guys..

And the person who made the suggestion buys me a new set of CT6215's (or EMS7000's) when they get f*cked up
