The Solution
New, unique laser controller features and proprietary algorithms to improve process throughput and results quality,
The ScanMaster laser control solution, from our Cambridge Technology brand enables end-user control and management of their laser scanning solution. With a constant improvement mindset, Novanta ScanMaster controller and software frequently incorporates new, unique features and proprietary algorithms to improve process throughput and results quality, including:
- Intuitive user interface for faster job creation
- Easy job creation and flexible system integration with object oriented ScanMaster API
- Large field processing with XY system integration with SyncMaster laser control
- Higher throughput with uniform laser power density, proprietary ScanPack algorithim with the fully digital Lightning™ II scan heads
- Unique text-on-path feature to input text around the path of a shape
Application specific features for high-precision applications:

Trajectory Scan Time Estimation – estimate build times using both simulated and actual builds for a laser sintering machine.

Proprietary Algorithm – accurately delivers uniform laser power density and 24bit GSBus command resolution

High Position Accuracy – 24bit GSBus communication protocol delivers industry-best precision for demanding applications

3D Wrapping & Tracing – eliminates complex processes when applying 3D marking on curved surfaces.

Skywriting – executes shapes and text at a constant marking speed with precision, delivering uniform laser energy distribution

High-Speed Polygonal Scanning – minimal set-up time, enables high precision cell sorting for cell therapy manufacturing
