electro-mechanical scanning

Electro-mechanical scanning is a technique that combines electrical signals and mechanical movement to examine or image objects or environments. It involves electronic components generating signals, which then cause mechanical parts—such as motors or mirrors—to move precisely. This coordinated motion allows devices like radar, ultrasound, or optical scanners to systematically "scan" across a surface or space, capturing detailed data in a controlled pattern. By integrating electrical control with mechanical motion, electro-mechanical scanning enables thorough, accurate, and efficient data collection over complex areas or objects.
