The LightningTM Digital Scanner Platform Technology from General Scanning (Billerica, MA) consists of three elements: MPower motors, a Lightning digital servo driver, and the TuneMasterTM software toolset. The MPower Scanner motor design integrates the mirror, mount, and motor for inertial balance. The motor configuration augments operating efficiency and power transfer to the load, while heat build-up is minimized. The servo driver is based on 16-bit digital technology and features thermal stability, monitoring, and diagnostics. The TuneMasterTM ensures tunes for both axes remain matched during an application.
