The AXIALSCAN RD-14 was developed to be able to efficiently process large workpieces. It combines the high dynamics of a MINISCAN III with the advantages of dynamic pre-focusing. In contrast to a solution with an F-Theta lens, the laser is focused in front of the scan mirrors, allowing the deflection angle to be fully utilized. This means that larger processing fields are possible and even large components can be processed with a single deflection unit. This results in a great advantage for the user, who can avoid the time-consuming stitching together of several processing fields.
The AXIALSCAN RD-14 is the ideal solution for all applications where large fields and high dynamics are required. Hence, it is particularly suitable for additive manufacturing or the cutting and marking of printed circuit boards (PCBs).
The dynamic pre-focusing also enables the processing of non-planar structures without the need for additional optics. This means that the AXIALSCAN RD-14 can be used for both layer-by-layer processing (2.5D) and complete 3D processing.
The very compact design of the AXIALSCAN RD-14 and its versatile mounting options are almost identical to our FOCUSSHIFTER RD-14. Therefore, it can also be flexibly integrated into laser systems and the integrator can easily select the optimum solution for his laser application.

WHAT IS SPECIAL ABOUT THE AXIALSCAN RD-14?
FLEXIBLE 3D LASER PROCESSING WITH COMPACT DESIGN
The AXIALSCAN RD-14 is a 3D deflection unit designed for mid-range laser power and medium to large processing fields. Thanks to the pre-focusing optics for flat field correction, it can utilize the maximum processing field, and, thanks to RAYVOLUTION DRIVE technology, it still offers very dynamic adjustment of the z-position of the focus.
With its compact housinmultiple mounting options, the AXIALSCAN RD-14 can be flexibly integrated into any laser system, making it the ideal solution for even the most demanding laser processes.

FACTS & USE CASES
ADDITIVE PRODUCTION OF DENTAL IMPLANTS
In additive manufacturing, the goal is often to increase productivity and reduce part costs. This is particularly true in the market for additively manufactured dental implants. One of the challenges: Though conventional laser systems for this application usually have suffi cient dynamic performance, they often do not have the necessary field size. This is because the F-Theta lens can considerably restrict the usable field. For the user, this translates into longer production times and higher costs per implant.
Here, the AXIALSCAN RD-14 represents an interesting technological option. With its highly dynamic RAYVOLUTION DRIVE z-axis, a fast and precise flat field correction becomes possible without an F-Theta objective. This allows the AXIALSCAN RD-14 to utilize the full scanning angle and thus cover a larger working field without compromising the dynamics of the system. The larger working field results in more implants per production run, which leads to a shorter production time per implant and therefore a reduction in costs.
Patient-specific dental implants are often manufactured using additive manufacturing. Here and in other additive manufacturing processes, high dynamics and a favorable machine price play an important role. For many such applications, the AXIALSCAN RD-14 offers an optimum compromise between spot size, dynamics, compact design and price.
Furthermore, with its compact dimensions and versatile mounting options, the AXIALSCAN RD-14 can be easily integrated into existing machine designs. As a result, the AXIALSCAN RD-14 with its RAYVOLUTION DRIVE offers an attractive solution for optimizing productivity and costs in additive manufacturing and paves the way for scalable and more economical production processes for customer-specific dental implants.

GOOD REASONS TO CHOOSE RAYLASE
THIS MAKES RAYLASE SPECIAL
Technical specifications are important and often decisive. But at RAYLASE, we believe that there is more to it than pure technology that matters. For this reason, we are your partner for reliable and successful laser processes and offer more than just technical components.
Systems view instead of components
Modern production systems for laser processing are usually designed specifically for one process step and are highly optimized. It is therefore important to consider the interplay with the other machine components when selecting suitable beam deflection units. At RAYLASE, we therefore always have the entire solution in mind and offer our customers assistance in putting together suitable components.
Broad application knowledge
For many processes, the beam deflection unit is a decisive component. Often it determines whether the desired spot parameters and processing speeds can be implemented on the component. To identify the optimal solution here, we support our customers in selecting the right beam delivery components and sensor technology. and perform simulations of the laser processes developed by our customers. In addition, we provide support in the parameterization of the laser and deflection unit or software functionality through the experts at our Technical Competence Center TCC.
On-site support for implementation and service
Our customers are the experts for their application – we are the experts for our beam deflection units. That’s why we support our customers during the commissioning of our products – if necessary also directly on site. In this way, we at RAYLASE ensure that our system is optimally adjusted and permanently delivers what it is capable of.
Education & training on the system
Modern laser deflection units are complex systems. Therefore, it is important to have a good knowledge of their characteristics. Because only when users know how the various parameters interact the optimum process becomes possible. For this reason, we at RAYLASE put a high priority on training for our products. In addition, we also offer our customers on-site training directly on the system, if required, to enable users to operate the system independently.
The POWER OF WE
Together you achieve more. At RAYLASE, we are convinced about this. That’s why we place great value on cooperation in a spirit of partnership and open communication at equal level – from expert to expert. Because only when we jointly find the best solution and successful integrate it into the machine, everyone involved benefits in the end – our customers, us and also the end users.
