Scanner Controller
ScanControlUnit (SCU)
The Variable Controller Solution
- Flexible controller for all Blackbird scanners
- Easy exchanging and supplementing of modules
- Can be extended by an OCT measuring system
- All software options from 2D-Basic to 3D on-the-fly
The ScanControlUnit (SCU) is the “all-rounder” among the Blackbird controllers and - based on its flexibility - it can be used without restrictions for all applications. All processes can be covered by the control unit, from small parts productions with high-precision positioning up to meter-long lap weld seams on large BIW automotive parts with simultaneous laser measurement of the process zones.
The SCU is compatible with all Blackbird software packages (2D-Basic, 3D-Basic, 3D-Positioning, 2D-OTF and 3D-OTF). The modular design also permits the extension of the control unit by all Blackbird supplemental slide-in modules. This includes the add-ons for the Blackbird ScaVis camera solution, the RTX function for the positioning of linear axes and the OCT measuring system. The high-performance processor of the SCU permits fast data processing and program adaptation for an efficient system performance - also when using several extensions.
