Abstract
A galvanometer optics assembly includes a housing which has a laser beam input which is optically coupled to the laser beam output of the laser marking apparatus, a first laser beam output and a second laser beam output, a stationary mirror which is fixedly coupled to the housing and is optically coupled to the laser beam input of the housing, a galvanometer mirror which is rotatively coupled to the housing and is optically coupled to the stationary mirror, a galvanometer optics motor which has a shaft which is fixedly coupled to the galvanometer mirror so that the galvanometer mirror may be optically coupled to either the first laser beam output or the second laser beam output and a galvanometer controller which is electrically coupled to the galvanometer optics motor. The galvanometer optics assembly is for use with a laser marking apparatus which includes a housing and and a laser beam output which is optically coupled to the lasers. Each of a plurality of individual lasers in the housing is dedicated to write a predetermined character row.
