PRECESSION SCAN HEADS
About precession scanning
Precession scan heads allow scanning a laser beam across a work piece and, in addition, setting, at each point of the work piece, the incidence angle of the beam. For a drilling process, the incidence angle is also called the precession angle. When laser drilling a hole with high precision, the inclination of the internal hole surface, the so-
About the Precession Elephant and the Precession Elephant 2
The Precession Elephant scan heads are the world’s first and also the world’s most used laser scanning heads that use precession. The heads are designed for high-
