  • No. RPM is revolutions per minute. A sensor's useful scan rate and frame rate also depend on the optical arrangement, acquisition sequence and the definition of a frame. A limited polygon calculationIf each of N facets provides one usable pass per revolution, ideal facet-pass rate is N multiplied by RPM and divided by 60. This relationship assumes the stated geometry and does not establish point ...

  • A polygon scanner steers light using successive reflective facets during rotation. A galvanometer scanning arrangement drives a mirror's angular orientation. Their motion, feedback and control requirements should be specified separately. What to put in the inquiryState whether the application needs continuous rotation, bounded angular motion or a particular scan trajectory. Include the optical el...

  • The Short Answer A hollow-shaft motor has a bore running through the center of the rotor, so cables, shafts, or optical elements can pass directly through the motor. A solid-shaft motor transmits motion through a conventional output shaft instead. A through-bore can simplify routing when the complete assembly provides sufficient clearance. It does not by itself establish lower joint he...
