| How SCANahead Works

With SCANahead control, the excelliSCAN can always reach the set scanning speed with the maximum acceleration of the scanning head (I. e. within the minimum acceleration time ta). Different from the scanner based on the traditional Tracking Error ts control algorithm (the latter maintains a constant acceleration time regardless of the target speed), the excelliSCAN needs to generate the corresponding control parameters according to the actual situation.

The RTC6 with SCANahead function generates a control value for the excelliSCAN with an automatically determined delay. Limiting the acceleration of the target path to the maximum acceleration range for each scan axis of the scan head (shown by the blue line) ensures that the dynamic potential of the galvanometer is fully utilized. This calculation is done in real time-so the motion execution time is adjusted according to the preview time tp.

 

| Application Advantages

 

Productivity is improved due to significantly shorter acceleration phases

Process time is shortened and process parameters remain unchanged.

Digital encoder technology for high profile fidelity and long-term stability-even for demanding scanning tasks

Extremely easy to use due to the Universal Tuning function and automatic delay setting

| How SCANahead Works

3D Printing Example: Higher Productivity and Accuracy

So far, the increase in production efficiency in additive manufacturing has been mainly through the use of multi-head systems or higher power Laser. Modern control technologies such as SCANahead control with scanning laboratories (scanlab) offer additional potential.

In additive manufacturing, two-dimensional structures are typically achieved by two-way scribing techniques. In scanning devices employing conventional control systems, most of the process time is devoted to turnaround times for acceleration and deceleration processes.

Scanning systems with SCANahead technology can significantly reduce these turnaround times, resulting in a significant increase in productivity.
