The HALscan is a low-cost but high-accuracy scanhead which is certified to support the new, open and future-proof XY3-100 digital scanner interface. It is fully adjusted, ready to use and only needs to be electrically connected for operation. It provides the following features: | ![]() |
- 10 mm aperture
- XY3-100 input signal
- close to linear behaviour, as nearly no pillow distortion exists, for many applications no correction table is necessary
- high 20 bit digital resolution
- position extrapolation in case of data transmission errors to avoid random burn-in points
- +-15 V power supply
- simple 1:1 connection with E1803D contoller card possible via standard D-SUB25 cable
- full operation with any other XY3-100 scanner controller
- low idle power consumption
- available for all relevant laser types/wave lengths
- industry-standard mounting interface
The XY3-100 protocol itself is a new, open, future-proof and non-proprietary standard for communication between scanner controller card and scanhead. It provides variable position resolutions in range 16..26 bit and an extended backchannel. It is hardware-compatible to its predecessor XY2-100 and therefore can be implemented in existing hardware simply via a firmware upgrade.
