Overview

The Contour 3-Axis Scan Head Series is designed to operate seamlessly with Nutfield Technology’s WaveRunner Laser Scan Control Software and Pipeline or Surfboard Laser Scan Controller Hardware.

Nutfield Technology’s 3-Axis solutions are designed to deliver large field sizes without the use of large scanning lenses, XY tables, or gantries. Our technology delivers better field-size/spot-size ratios than those provided by standard f-theta scanning lenses. The integrated design incorporates Nutfield Technology’s advanced OPD (optical position detector) galvanometer technology to offer superior bandwidth, accuracy, and flexibility in 3-axis technology.
