Multibeam scanner – MBS-g4

With the MultiBeamScanner (MBS), Pulsar Photonics is for the first time offering a solution for multi-beam processing with a galvo scanner as a commercial product. A fixed beam arrangement is generated in the processing plane of the scanning system. The number of beams and their arrangement can be tailored for the application. This approach allows the process speed to be multiplied when producing periodic repetitive structures. Based on a diffractive beam splitter, the power of the laser system can be divided into up to 100 partial beams and more. This makes it possible to overcome the performance limitations of many USP processes and thus to increase the process efficiency considerably. Areas of application are in the area of laser drilling, the parallel processing of several components or the general parallelization of laser processes.

How the MultiBeamScanner works:

The functionality of the MultiBeamScanner is based on the division of a laser beam by a diffractive beam splitter. Almost any arrangement can be created with this optical element, which convinces with its high level of homogeneity and overall efficiency. In combination with a galvanometer scanner, a large number of processing points can be generated in the processing plane, which are moved simultaneously over the workpiece by the scanner. This allows an efficient parallel production of identical structures in one step.
