Principle

Tuning refers to a scan system's dynamics configuration. It's a fine adjustment of the

digital servo control that determines the scan system's dynamic reactions while driven with a scan pattern.

Digital systems with iDRIVE technology – such as the intelliSCAN – can store up to three tunings in memory. Switching between those tunings is possible even during marking.

Always the ideal tuning

Special tunings can optimize scan systems to meet diverse requirements, such as for

vectors, jumps or micro-machining.

Application-specific tunings bring increased speed and positioning accuracy. The digitally implemented output stages reduce heat generation, leading to improved temperature stability.

What kinds of tunings are available?

Most tunings are characterized by tracking error and maximum speed.

Low tracking error facilitates spatiallysmall/intricate marking, but accompanied by limited maximum speed. In contrast, elevating speed will also increase tracking error.

Jump tuning is a special case where jump times are minimized for long jumps, resulting in complete elimination of constant tracking error. Jump tuning is particularly well-suited for drilling applications.
