Optical information system with motor controlled reflector means in a swivel arm

A device for processing information and/or generating signals by means of a laser beam, comprising:

• first and second drive units;
• first and second deflection components rotating around first and second axes, respectively, wherein the first axis is different from the second axis, wherein the deflection components rotate for the purpose of refracting the laser beam, and are positioned behind one another in the path of the laser beam and wherein the first and second deflection components have an activation connection with the first and second drive units, respectively, by means of which they rotate around their respective rotation axis;
• and
• a sensor component group determining at least one of an angle, a position, and a speed of at least one of the deflection components;
• wherein the drive units each include a drive motor and an actuator of a read/write head of a data storage component with a rotating data storage medium in the form of a disk, each actuator having an axis of rotation;
• wherein the rotation axes of the first and second deflection components are formed by the actuator axes of the first and second drive units, respectively;
• wherein the sensor component group includes first and second components, wherein the first component is connected to an arm which moves together with the first deflection component, and the second component of the sensor component group is connected to the actuator axis of the first drive unit.
