Methods of Using Laser Galvo

The laser galvo as a precise optical control device, plays a key role in the field of laser processing. The precise control of the laser galvo ensures the efficient and stable operation of applications such as laser cutting, welding, and marking. Therefore, mastering its operation methods and techniques is crucial for improving the quality and efficiency of laser processing.


Working Principle of the Laser Galvo


The laser galvo is an optical device capable of precise positioning and control of the beam. It consists of a flat mirror and an inclined curved reflective mirror. By controlling the actuator to change the position and angle of the mirror, the precise direction and focusing of the laser beam can be achieved.


Methods for Using the Laser Galvo


Adjust the Initial Position of the Galvo


Before using the laser galvo you need to adjust the galvo to the optimal position according to actual needs. In general, you first need to ensure that the surface of the galvo is free of dust or scratches, and use the laser control system or tuner to control the galvo moving it to the initial position. At this point, you can finely adjust the position and angle of the galvo to achieve the best working condition.


Control the Operation of the Galvo


The operation of the laser galvo mainly requires an actuator or tuner. The actuator is generally used to control the position and angle of the galvo and can be adjusted and controlled according to different needs. The tuner is used to adjust the frequency of the laser galvo to adapt to different light sources and materials.


Application Scenarios of the Laser Galvo


The laser galvo is widely used in laser cutting, laser welding, laser marking, laser display, and other fields. By adjusting the position and angle of the laser galvo precise control and orientation of the beam can be achieved, ensuring the high efficiency, precision, stability, and reliability of laser processing and display.


During operation, particular attention should be paid to safety. Wear laser safety glasses and follow strict operating procedures to prevent equipment damage or personal injury.


Tips for Using the Laser Galvo


  • When adjusting the position and angle of the galvo operate carefully to avoid collisions and damage.


  • When using the laser galvo safety measures must be taken, and laser safety glasses must be worn to avoid eye injuries.


  • In laser cutting, welding, marking, and other operations, strictly follow the operating procedures to ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.


The laser galvo is a commonly used optical device with a wide range of applications. When using the laser galvo you need to understand its working principle, usage methods, and techniques, and follow standard operations to ensure the safety of equipment and personnel, thereby achieving efficient, precise, and reliable laser processing and display.
