Higher Productivity in Laser Processing Thanks to SCANahead

Scan systems, such as the one shown here, are used in many laser processing machines. Especially in demanding applications, for example in additive manufacturing (3D printing), the scan head must perform precise and highly dynamic movements in order to be both productive and ensure the highest processing quality.

Innovative control technologies, such as SCANLAB's predictive SCANahead control, offer the possibility of noticeably increasing productivity and exploiting the full dynamic potential of the scan system. Particularly in the case of multi-head systems, the number of scanners can be reduced while achieving highest productivity. Watch the video to find out how this technology works.

SCANahead is available as standard in the entire excelliSCAN series.
