    Default Just picked up some new galvo scanners

    I recently picked up a few galvo scanners and have been testing them over the past couple of days.
    They use 18-bit encoders, and so far the repeatability and response look solid. Linearity is rated >99.6% at ±20°, and the feedback seems pretty stable during fast moves.


    I’m planning to use them for marking and engraving setups. They also support a wide range of apertures (3–100 mm), which makes integration easier across different systems.


    Anyone here running similar high-resolution galvo scanners?
    Would love to hear your experience with drift, heat performance, or long-term stability.

    Is another Galvo War really necessary?

    Thanks for sharing, Kevin.
    Always interested in learning about new galvos.
    Of course, price vs performance determines my light guides .
    1st skim of the website indicates that these galvos and optics are optimized for fiber laser engraving & cutting, rather than imaging speed.
    Would love learning more about pricing and comparisons against status quo C506, Saturns, DT-*, EMS8000, ...

    Would a bird's mating song be more alluring if composed by human intellect? 🤔
