Advanced Optical Scanner Technology

We invented the Optical Scanner.
Then, we refined it.
And now we’ve Revolutionized it.

Digital Scanners

General Scanning invented the optical scanner, refined it… and revolutionized it. The Lightning Digital Scanner platform is a new concept in scanner technology. Not just a scanner and driver, the Lightning Digital platform includes our third- and fourth-generation family of high performance Galvo motors, our second generation digital driver electronics, plus the industry's only software toolkit, TuneMaster™. As a system, Lightning will do for scanner-based designs what 3D CAD software did for manual drafting, It will bring it to a new level of performance…

Lightning will enable the rapid development of application-specific tunes. It will reduce manufacturing costs while improving unit-to-unit consistency. Lightning will even maintain a system's optimal performance over its service life. Bottom line, the Lightning Digital platform is so advanced, it will revolutionize the way you develop, manufacture, support, and sell high-performance scanner-based systems.
