Laser controller Nutfield Technology

General description:

The SurfBoard-USB is a fully featured board, which provides reliable performance for controlling and synchronizing I/O, 2 and 3-axis scan heads and virtually any laser. The board can operate from any PC platform with a USB port - including laptops and embedded PCs. Gone are the days of opening a bulky desktop to install a board or worrying about address or IRQ conflicts. The SurfBoard-USB is a truly plug-and-play product.

Measuring only 10x10cm, the SurfBoard-USB operates with Windows XP / Vista on NTI's industry leading WaveRunner laser / scanner control software. Your laser scanning system will not be waiting for data with the incredibly fast USB 1.1 or 2.0 PC interface and the 10 micro second laser / scanner update rate. The board includes on-board flash memory to store large jobs, plus 6 inputs and 6 outputs used for automation and a pointer control, mark-in-progress signal, start mark signal, and mark-on-the-fly encoder inputs. Scan head control is through an industry standard XY2-100, 16-bit digital interface or an optional analog interface. Laser control is provided via standard PWM, analog or 8-bit digital signals.

Each board is packaged in a small, rugged enclosure, which can be remotely mounted to facilitate easy system installation. And don't worry about losing your software dongle, because with the SurfBoard-USB, there is no software dongle required.
