"(NOMBRE)SCAN es un Láser de Cañón para tratamientos láser IR y visible".
Since the brandname of the "Laser de Cañón" being described contains the word "scan", I suspect that it might be a "Scanner Laser".....however further down in the document is the term "Laser de Barrido" which also seems to be some kind of scanner laser!
Thanks for helping me through this laser-maze!

Spanish term (edited):
Láser de cañón
Selected
beam laser
I think it was right under my nose all this time. Initially I thought of pulsed lasers (and those are indeed used for treatment), but thinking it a little more thouroughly I realized that continuous-wave lasers shouldn't be excluded, they also emit light, it's simply that the light is continuous.
So then I tried to analyze the word cañón, and assumed that it meant a simple emission, and since all lasers emit photons, I thought we could simply translate by "lasers". Well, wrong!
And then it hit me: cañón is actually a Greek word, which means ruler/beam (something straight, continuous; not pulses). It's also one of the meanings of the English word canon. That's why I'm saying that it was right under my nose. It's not a pulsed laser, it's the oposite, it's beam laser. In the same manner that a cañón de electrones is an electron beam, and a cañón de iones is an ion beam.

I apologize for any confusion caused by my previous answer. It's one of those cases where expertise doesn't really help. I studied lasers in grad school, but in English, and never came across the word "láser de cañón" in Spanish before.

Laser Gun Scanner
I have to put "medium" as my confidence level due to many people, even so-called "experts" being confused. Cañon could refer to a make (which is Canon" not Cañon, or simply a "Laser Gun". "De barrido" means scanning in my experience.
Hope this helps

I don't think I made myself clear in my "explanation"
"Laser de cañon" is a laser gun. "Laser de Canon" as there is no "ñ" might, just might be the manufacturer.

: I don't think it's a make (do you mean Canon, the printer maker (who also makes laser printers)? If it's that Canon you mean, I don't think it's related.) I agree with you about "barrido".
