Laser controller
6 I/Os | SurfBoard-USB
Nutfield Technology
SurfBoard USB control hardware controls a 2-axis or 3-axis (dynamic focusing) galvo-based scan head system. It supplies signals for scanner and laser control. Hardware I/O can be configured to interact with other devices for handshaking and synchronizing functions, and can control motion devices such as X/Y tables and rotary axes. Fast execution cycle times make SurfBoard well suited for high performance applications.
Controller commands are downloaded over the USB (Version 1.1 or 2.0) interface from the connected host system. Received commands are stored in a data buffer. When a block of valid data is available the system enables it for execution, while filling additional buffer blocks with new data transmitted from the host system.
