New EYEMAGIC Scanners EMS7000

**Banthai** · 10-28-2011, 07:47

Hi all
just seen an email from Tom Kamaras at EYEMAGIC ... with his new range of scanners

as usual they look very well made and pretty bomb proof .....

and the spec says "a true 60k @ 10deg" and also 60k @6 deg using a larger sized mirror for a 5mm beam

those that know eyemagic ... they wont make claims inless they can actually do it

i dont have eyemagics myself ... but looking forward to seeing reviews from people as they hit the market place

see attachement below .... dont know what the price is but you can contact Tom here for more info.... solutions@eyemagic.gr

PS also forgot to mention 100% designed and manufactured in Greece ( not a chinese import )

all the best

I am also a user of EyeMagic scanners,Hands down top notch!

Kit has a set of EM scanners, they look great.

God knows Greece could do with the trade!

To be honest, I am always glad to see smarts come out of any country other than China... I have had enough of China. Chinese culture is a real brick wall to getting what you want.... Sorry, discount is no substitute for "what I want" (tm).

I am moving several products out of China as I post. I can afford 20% more landed cost just based on reliable production and schedules. I have lost a heap on very very late schedules and then again on warranty claims.... Shit all round.

Eye Magic is just as good if not better than Cambridge. MANY people using both (including myself) will concur with that statement!

These new scanners are just amazing!!

I personally have not tested them yet, but i know OSLS has tested these things and speak VERY highly of them!! I am hoping to get a pair for my next mid power RGB build.

If we don't see a scanner from Pango by Christmas, I'm thinking we may need to talk, Marc. Might be time for an upgrade that helps the Greek economy.

And just out of curiosity, what do YOU define as "mid power"? That about a 12 watter?

**flecom** · 10-29-2011, 04:08

I love my EMS4000's... 30kpps with 6.5mm beam mirrors... don't really need anything faster so no need to upgrade for once!

**Jem** · 10-29-2011, 06:44

Anyone know how much these are? I'll shortly have a need for a new set of scanners for my 'special' abstract projector

I was going to go for DT40 Pro's, but these sould like they may fit the bill. They look quite small and I like the low heat bit as i'm going for passive cooling only in this new projector.

Cheers

Karl

**sbk** · 10-29-2011, 07:16

I just sent an inquiry

Nice thing too is the adjustable height of the scanners (at least the EMS4000), thanks to the L-bracket. Old great Widemoves style

**Jem** · 10-29-2011, 08:17

Hi Karl

I sent an email to Tom a couple of days ago but haven't had a reply yet. No worries though as there's no immediate hurry.

How are you these days Karl, still mucking around in chocolate?

Take care

Jem

**Jem** · 10-29-2011, 08:33

Well, let's hope you're around to make it to at least one of the meets. If ever you need a quick laser fix, jump in the car and shoot over the M62, you're welcome here anytime

**mixedgas** · 10-29-2011, 13:15

I've had Eyemagics for years, I've been very happy with them, and they can be rebuilt. I also like Cambridges. I have both.

Hi Karl, thanks for the heads up on the new EMS scanners.

Sounds like some interesting work you do. I worked at an R&D gasoline direct injection and combustion technology company a few years ago.

We had to measure the the patical size of the fuel droplets from the injectors.

We used a Malvern laser practical sizer, when we were installing it, I asked the commissioning tech where else he had installed them. He said the Cadbury chocolate factory in Tasmania. He said make a tasty chochoate you need a fine and consistent coco practical size.

Hah, food is a hi tech business these days.

Mmmmm choooooocooolate. One of my best food memories from living in the UK is Terry's chocolate orange.

You and me both. They are giving me an itchy trigger finger to. The guys in the US have our friend Marc at CT lasers and OSLS or from Tom if outside the US. Anyone interested
In a group buy?

Well shit... you got my attention... There it is again... ja hear that..... buy me, buy me...

**Solarfire** · 10-30-2011, 11:53

Well shit that was a quick response from Mr. Kamaras. Asked for pricing yesterday got an answer today and the price is a "buy me, buy me" price - 10% introductory offer. Enough said order placed awaiting payment info’s. GB? Takes too long, Greece is right next door.

Oh god, I’m such a pitifully weak laser junkie.

Nah.. I’m really looking forward to these babies’…

SolarF,

Can you tell me the buyme buyme price?
The reputation of eyemagic is really good.
Maybe these are the scanners to replace my LW50K scanset.

Almost ordered too, just waiting on drawings to be sure it will fit in my projector case.
Now we just need to find a decent symmetrical +-24v power supply. Any idea on this? I can build a simple one with a toroidal transfo as advised by Tom but I'd like to know if there is already existing solutions...

Good question, I just spent an hour searching with no luck yet.

**LaNeK779** · 10-31-2011, 10:14

there was a small number of threads with some suggestions here lately

i have to say i envy you guys!!! i hope you get all the joy possible from your purchase

**Solarfire** · 10-31-2011, 10:58

After another hour of searching I came to the conclusion to probably go with 2 single PSUs.

**sbk** · 10-31-2011, 12:21

I spent some time searching too and found nothing great.

What about an home-made symmetrical linear power supply? I will cost less than 2x single switching PSU, and will be less big too. Just the weight will be higher because of the toroidal transformator. Also it will have less noise/ripple and more instant current to deliver...
That's just 1 transfo, 2 bridge rectifiers, 2 6800uF/35V capacitors, fuses and a few connectors... I'm tempted to build it on a veroboard, but it would be nicer on a proper PCB! Who could make great PCB?
