Air Bearing Scanners

FEATURES

Our laser scanning devices provide high-performance imaging for a variety of imaging applications. From automated optical inspection to high-resolution film recorders, our devices are critical components of some of the most precise instrumentation. We design and manufacture in-house to meet your most challenging and specific application needs.

PRODUCT DETAILS

By generating its own air bearing cushion as the spindle lifts off during rotation, the aerodynamic laser scanner provides advantages for applications where an air supply is not available. Our aerodynamic laser scanners provide high rotational speeds, high mechanical cross-scan accuracy and low jitter when used in conjunction with spindle controllers.

CMM Optic’s aero-static air bearing scanners provide optimal performance at all speeds. Suspended by pressurized air, the aero-static bearing is completely cushioned prior to dynamic rotation, enabling the device to deliver consistent performance from low to high speeds. The aero-static bearing provides extremely high stiffness for additional load carrying capacity and low repeatable spindle run-out errors.
