Development of a high-performance controller for Laser Marking system using Galvanometer

This paper places great importance on performance improvement of Galvanometer system used for laser display, laser processing, marking system. Fundamentally, we implement control system, on that assumption that laser source exists, and design basic PID controller. Hardware is composed of DSP(TMS320C32) chip, and the position compensation of Galvanometer is performed by using 16-bit A/D and D/A converter. Through frequency response analysis and simulation, the attribute of plant and controller is captured and then, total system is analyzed. We deliberate noise problem that can be caused from analog signal as driving signal for Galvanometer.
