TS3005-PD 200Hz Precision Scanner

Looking for a high torque, high precision, super linear scanner? Then look no more.

Considered an instrument grade scanner, the TS3005 sports a unique built-in optical feedback position detector that compensates for flat screen display use. Most scanners, displaying a grid, will show a cell growth as you move away from center. That effect is minimized electronically inside this scanner. This is our wide angle (90 degrees optical), heavy duty and high torque scanner

The TS3005 scanner is driven by the SA525 amplifier. This amplifier has all the features expected in top of the line amps. It can deliver 10 amps at 24 volts. It has Low and High frequency dampening, differential control signal input, cooling fan, reversible volts vs. angle and a scanner coil disconnect switch.

The TS3005 and SA525 combination is categorized as a high torque industrial performance set, capable of moving larger mirrors (2" x 2") for industrial laser and photographic applications.

These scanners have been operating flawlessly for several years at Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California; Lawrence Livermore Labs; the U.S. Department of Commerce; and are presently being used in fingerprint scanners for identification and law enforcement.

In addition to the TS3005 Advanced Precision Optical Scanner, We offer an extensive line of drive electronics and mechanical fixtures for two and three axis scanning that produce complete scanning systems without costly and time consuming engineering.

ABSTRACT

First results of a new speckle imaging system, the Differential Speckle Survey Instrument, are reported. The instrument is designed to take speckle data in two filters simultaneously with two independent CCD imagers. This feature results in three advantages over other speckle cameras: (1) twice asmany frames can be obtained in the same observation timewhich can increase the signal-to-noise ratio for astrometric measurements, (2) component colors can be derived from a single observation, and (3) the two colors give substantial leverage over atmospheric dispersion, allowing for subdiffraction-limited separations to be measured reliably. Fifty-four observations are reported from the first use of the instrument at the Wisconsin-Indiana-Yale-NOAO 3.5 m Telescope9 in 2008 September, including seven components resolved for the first time. These observations are used to judge the basic capabilities of the instrument.

Instrument Description

"The galvanometric scanning mirror system was purchased
from Laserworks, Inc. of Orange, CA. The galvanometers are
TS-3005PDs, driven by SA-525 amplifier boards, a combination
that was chosen for its positional stability and high bandwidth.
Each axis of the system is controlled by its own power
supply, both of which are mounted in the electronics bay of
the instrument. The driver boards for both mirrors are also
located there. The analog input voltages needed to set the
mirror positions and control the mirror motion are provided by
a National Instruments multifunction PCI-6221 input/output
board in the DSSI control computer. Software for the mirror
controlwas written as a stand-alone program in MicrosoftVisual
C++. The aluminum housing for the instrument was custombuilt
by Anderson Tool Company of New Haven, CT."
