1IMPORTANT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
For your protection, carefully read these instructions before installing and
operating the scan head.
Retain these instructions for future reference.
Cambridge Technology reserves the right to update this user manual at any
time without prior notification.
If product ownership changes, this manual should accompany the product.
1.1 SAFETY SYMBOLS
DANGER
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in serious injury
or death.
Its use should be limited to the most extreme situations.
WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in serious
injury or death.
1 Important Information 1.2 Safety Labels
MOVIA, 2-Axis Scan Head – User Manual, 1040–0004 Rev. 03 2
CAUTION
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in minor or
moderate injury.
IMPORTANT
Indicates information considered important but not directly hazard related (e.g.
security, hygiene, or equipment or property damage).
1.2 SAFETY LABELS
DANGER
Laser radiation
can cause severe retinal and corneal burns, burns on the skin, and may pose a
fire risk.
•To avoid injury and reduce risk of fire, please follow the control measures
and safety guidelines provided by the laser’s manufacturer, and those
established by your Laser Safety Officer (LSO), Radiation Safety Officer
(RSO), or safety department of your business or institution.
ESD WARNING
Electrostatic discharge and improper handling
can damage MOVIA scan head’s electronics.
•Keep the equipment sealed until it is located at a proper static control
station.
A proper static control station should include:
•A soft grounded conductive tabletop or grounded conductive mat on the
tabletop.
1 Important Information 1.3 Customer Support
MOVIA, 2-Axis Scan Head – User Manual, 1040–0004 Rev. 03 3
•A grounded wrist strap with the appropriate (1 MΩ) series resistor
connected to the tabletop mat and ground.
•An adequate earth ground connection, such as a water pipe or AC ground.
•Conductive bags, trays, totes, racks, or other storage.
•Properly grounded power tools.
•Personnel handling ESD items should wear ESD protective garments and
ground straps.
IMPORTANT
Electrostatic discharge and improper handling
can damage MOVIA scan head’s electronics.
•Ship equipment returned to the factory in anti-static packaging.
IMPORTANT
Customers assume all responsibility for maintaining a laser-safe working
environment.
Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) customers assume all responsibility for
CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) certification.

2PRODUCT OVERVIEW
MOVIA scan heads are used as part of a galvanometer-based laser system and
steer optical beams on a XY image field (2D) for all possible laser applications. See
Figure 1
Figure 1: System Diagram
2.1 PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
In a MOVIA scan head, two galvanometers scanners with mirrors synchronize and
rotate to steer the laser beam across the XY field.
The beam enters the scan head through the input aperture and encounters the
X mirror. The mirror-galvo pair is responsible for deflecting the beam, as directed,
along the X axis of the scanning field. The laser beam then encounters the
Y mirror, which deflects the beam along the Y axis.
With the use of a controller like Cambridge Technology’s ScanMaster Controller,
you can accurately steer the laser beam anywhere within the usable field. See
Figure 2.

Figure 2: Beam Direction
2.2 PRODUCT USE
The MOVIA scan head is delivered as an OEM component for integration into a
laser scanning system.
Customers must know and apply the rules and regulations for safe operation of
lasers when installing and operating the scan head and the system in which it is
used. Since Cambridge Technology has no influence over the employed laser or
the overall system, the customer is solely responsible for the laser safety of the
entire system.
The system manufacturer bears responsibility for complying with the standards
and guidelines required for the CE (European Conformity) label. Please contact
Cambridge Technology for further information about this product and applicable
guidelines.
2.3 PRODUCT CONFIGURATION
To identify the configuration of your product, refer to the product label located on
the side of the scan head. Information on the product label (Figure 3) identifies
the model name, laser wavelengths compatible with the scan head (λ), part
number (PN), and serial number (SN) of your product.
