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

Lightning™
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.
TuneMaster, the Software that Changes Everything
Lighting’s software is nothing short of revolutionary. Named TuneMaster, it allows you to perform tuning-related activities while your system runs the actual application. We call it working in the ”Application Domain”, and it is where you achieve the best performance. With TuneMaster, X Y scanners are matched to each other while they are tuned to your application requirements. And it is all done automatically.
Even more impressive are the process improvements TuneMaster brings to your business:
• The TuneMaster Creator module can reduce tune development time up to 90%.
• On the production floor, The MatchTune Generator module can improve productivity and reduce costs by enabling the use of archived tune recipes and automated scanner optimization.
• TuneMaster is equally valuable as a customer support tool. Using the Support Toolbox module, you can perform maintenance or re-optimize a system without cumbersome test gear. All you might need is a laptop computer. In addition, TuneMaster eliminates the need to stock pre-tuned spares. You can replace a scanner set with an off-the-shelf unit, download the application tune from the master library, click the “Retune” button, and your system will be up and running in minutes.
• The Function Library module provides convenient access to key functions in the system’s Application Domain or working environment.
• TuneMaster can also become a major contributor to your quality program. The automated tuning process increases unit-to-unit consistency, regardless of the operator’s skill level. In addition, documentation for product traceability is compiled automatically over the life of a unit with each use of the software.
• TuneMaster can even shorten your sales cycles. Use it to optimize your system during a demonstration for an unbeatable competitive advantage.
