Scan Controllers and Software
Controller Hardware and Software for Multi-axis Scan Heads
General Scanning is offering a variety of scan controllers and software to enable seamless integration of their multi-axis scan heads with the laser and the rest of the system.

The HC/3 PCI Controller Card operates in conjunction with WinMCL Plus and its DLL's to provide 2 or 3-axis positioning commands and laser power and timing controls over a high-speed serial link, while the SC2000 and ScribeSmart controllers support 2-axis head synchronization with a laser.

The Grid Calibration and Post Grid Programs can be used with multi-axis scan heads for mapping the scanning field and correction of optical distortions.
