These Two-Axis VantagePro® Galvanometer Scan Heads provide two-dimensional scanning in a variety of laser applications. Each scan head consists of a dual-axis galvo motor and mirror assembly, two servo amplifiers, and communication electronics. The moving-magnet galvanometers deliver high speed and accuracy while integrated optical position detectors ensure precise control, high linearity, and low drift. The scan head housings are compact and include industry-standard mechanical interfaces for integration into a system.
The DCB Series Scan Heads are designed for OEM integration or easy plug-and-play operation. The system includes advanced digital signal processing (DSP) to rapidly compute and predict the exact drive impulses required to achieve small mirror movements with the fastest possible acceleration. The unit features self-tuning technology that automatically compensates for mechanical wear, extending its lifetime and eliminating issues associated with traditional analog servo filters. A detailed self-diagnosis and system check determine the operating parameters of the individual galvanometers, ensuring high accuracy and precise, error-free laser marking positioning.
Compatible power supplies and command cables are sold separately below. For the XG Series Scan Heads, there is a choice between an open frame or enclosed ±15 V power supply. For the DCB Series Scan Heads, a ±24 V open frame power supply is available. For a list of which power supplies and cables to use with which galvos, see the Galvo Compatibility tab.
System Control
These scan heads are configured to accept inputs via the XY2-100 communication protocol. This industry-standard digital interface integrates with PC-based hardware and software packages for laser marking and micromachining. We recommend the SAMLight software package from SCAPS; click here for information on this software. Analog input versions are also available.
Scan Lenses and Lens Ring Kits
A scan lens and lens ring are required in order to use a scan head. The XG series scan heads require both a scan lens and lens ring kit to be purchased separately; DCB series scan heads include a lens ring kit but require a scan lens separately. See the Scan Lenses and Rings tab to choose an appropriate scan lens and lens ring for your galvanometer scan head.

(posted 2024-04-17 07:40:27.913) Is there a specification for the maximum speed/acceleration of the "DCB210-CD" scanhead? ksosnowski
(posted 2024-05-10 10:39:37.0) Thanks for reaching out to Thorlabs. It is difficult to directly define the speed of the DCB210 scan heads as the galvo max speed depends strongly on the scan angle used, as well as the waveform/shape of the scan path. For small angles on the DCB210 series, we directly specify a 0.28ms small step response time for the galvo to settle at a position. I have reached out directly to discuss your application in further detail. Christiaan Van den Berg
(posted 2022-12-01 07:50:44.91) I would like to now the distance from the front of the housing to the mirror at the central ray for XG210 cdolbashian
(posted 2022-12-02 03:50:27.0) Thank you for reaching out to us with this inquiry. I have contacted you directly to discuss your application which would require such information! George Herring
(posted 2022-02-12 11:39:56.51) I'm looking at the possibility of integrating these scanners into a larger experimental system and I need a reliable way of controlling them which is compatible with my other software/electronic controls. Is there a simple control board available and/or can you provide full specifications on the communication protocol (XY2-100 is documented somewhat inconsistently online)? jgreschler
(posted 2022-02-24 11:34:24.0) Thank you for reaching out to Thorlabs. We do carry a line of modular galvo scanners that can be quoted on request. For more information please reach out to techsupport@thorlabs.com. We have contacted you directly to discuss this application further. J R
(posted 2021-07-27 05:47:36.327) I ordered XG210 with GPWR15 power supply. "Specifications and application data" of GPWR15 is the only technical document I received and it is lacking of the following information:
1) Should earth ground be connected to the housing of the power supply? Should the housing be afterwards connected to somewhere else?
2) Where exactly I have to connect +15 V, -15 V and GND cables of the power cable of the XG scanner head? Probably to the pins +OUT, -OUT and COM?
3) Probably -OUT pin must be directly connected to the -S, and +OUT to the +S?
4) Do I need to integrate an electrical fuse? cdolbashian
(posted 2021-08-27 10:09:00.0) Thank you for contacting us here at Thorlabs with your inquiries. Regarding your inquiries, I have reached out to you directly to complete the setup and troubleshooting of your galvo system. Chau Tran
(posted 2021-03-19 12:47:29.103) Hello,
We bought a galvo scan head (
DCB210-Y1HP) and some accessories from Thorlabs but we can not find a suitable angle bracket to connect the galvo scan head to other optomechanical parts.
The 4xM5 design on the scan head is not popular. Why aren't they M4 or M6? Their distances are also not familiar with Thorlabs' design (54x15 mm).
Another thing is no support documents such as drawings, 3d files for the lens SL16385-Y1 and it group. YLohia
(posted 2021-03-19 03:13:55.0) Hello, thank you for contacting Thorlabs. We will reach out to you directly to discuss this. Kent Ramthun
(posted 2021-02-27 13:11:16.66) Need a wiring diagram for the DB-25 connectorn the galvo head. We are providing our own controller to drive the galvo, but we do not know how to wire to this connector.!! YLohia
(posted 2021-03-08 08:26:18.0) Thank you for contacting Thorlabs. We have reached out to you directly with the connector wiring diagram. |

All 2-axis galvanometer scan heads above require a scan lens for proper operation. These scan lenses are suitable for scan head item #s that start with XG. For scan lenses compatible with DCB series scan heads, see below.
Scan lenses produce a flat image plane and a spot size that suffers minimal distortion as the angle of the incident beam with respect to the optical axis of the lens is varied; varying the angle of incidence causes the focal spot to scan over the field of view in the image plane.
Each table includes scan lenses that are compatible with a particular galvanometer scan head model. After selecting a scan lens, see below to choose an appropriate lens ring for mounting the scan lens to the galvanometer scan head.

All 2-axis galvanometer scan heads above require a scan lens for proper operation. These scan lenses are suitable for scan head item #s starting with DCB. For scan lenses compatible with XG series scan heads, see above.
Scan lenses produce a flat image plane and a spot size that suffers minimal distortion as the angle of the incident beam with respect to the optical axis of the lens is varied; varying the angle of incidence causes the focal spot to scan over the field of view in the image plane.
Use the table to the right to select an appropriate scan lens for your application. DCB series scan heads include a lens ring and do not require one to be purchased separately.
