case with systems from far east manufacturers and with re-branded lasers that are being presented as
European makes.
Scanning System
A scanning system is essentially two tiny mirrors, each moving on X or Y axis. By working together they
can “scan” the laser beam in all directions. Once a shape is scanned more than 20 times per second, it
appears static to the human eye. So any shape drawn by a laser is actually produced by one single laser
beam running around like crazy. Every scanning system has a mechanical limit of how fast it can move
its mirrors and therefore how many points it can display at any one second and that is usually
represented in Points Per Second at a certain scanning angle, i.e. 8 degrees.
