Air Bearing Polygon Scanners
Air Bearing Polygon Scanners
Air bearing polygon scanners deliver ultra-smooth, frictionless rotation for maximum scan stability and precision. Designed for the highest accuracy applications, they minimize vibration and jitter at extreme speeds. Enable superior measurement fidelity and consistent beam placement. Ideal for environments where precision cannot be compromised.
Best for: Semiconductor inspection, high-resolution imaging, precision metrology
Key advantage: Stability
Compatibility: High-performance laser systems, imaging platforms, precision production lines
Overview
Engineered by Cambridge Technology, our air bearing based polygon scanners provide excellent repeatability and long lifetime due to no bearing wear while the scanner is operating. These scanners feature speeds ranging from 6,000 to 55,000 RPM for aerodynamic scanners and from 0 to 30,000 RPM for aerostatic scanners.
High product lifetime & performance
- Excellent scanner life due to minimal contact between bearing components
- High repeatability and tight dynamic tracking
Excellent power handling & high repeatability
- Excellent power handling due to high rotation speeds and aluminum polygon substrates
- High repeatability and tight dynamic tracking
High-speed raster scanning
- Built for long lifetimes and high repeatability, our air bearing polygon scanners are ideal for raster scanning applications such as high-speed inspection and sorting of a variety of agricultural commodities where high speed, continuous operation, and high performance are required.
