These scan heads have been specially developed for large work areas and offer a very good spot performance over the entire scan range, even over large working distances. They are employed in automated applications and are available in various models with and without fiber coupling option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Equipped with SafeScan<\/strong><br>The FIBER ELEPHANT is equipped with our SafeScan safety concept such as continuous checking of the laser beam position and monitoring scanner-internal and external system parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Crossjet design<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-medium-font-size\">\n<li>Our innovative Crossjet design ensures the long service life of the protective window and optics, even in harsh ambient conditions with intense sparking, while consuming only a very small quantity of compressed air.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Our design combines a de Laval nozzle and the practical application of the \u201cair amplifier\u201d principle: The compressed air is first accelerated to a supersonic speed by the annular-shaped de Laval nozzle. The nozzle is arranged in such a way as to create a vacuum at the rear of the Crossjet that causes the ambient air to be drawn in and also accelerated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This produces an amplified air stream several times greater than the flow rate employed even with a lower consumption of compressed air.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>3D shapes<\/strong><br>A teach-in function is available for rapid and convenient positioning of the laser beam on 3D shapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Tailored engineering capabilities<\/strong><br>Through our highly specialized expertise and resources we can provide tailored solutions for your application needs.&nbsp; With a large selection of different laser sources, scan heads and handling systems to choose from, we can develop laser processes that are perfectly tailored to a wide variety of customer-specific products, components and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"175\" height=\"50\"
