Seamless
Field of View Expansion:
Prior to development of the InfinityScan Module, scanners have
been used with servo axes to laser process objects that exceed
the operating envelope of the scanner by using a move and scan
sequence where the scanner would laser process the part and
the servo would reposition the part for subsequent laser processing.
If however, the feature beinging laser processed exceeds the
field of view of the scanner this approach has limitations.
Small angular and linear offsets in the servo axes produce discontinuities
in the features that cross the boundary between adjacent laser
processing fields. With the InfinityScan the servo and scanner
are combined into a single platform such that it is now possible
to laser process large features by combining continuous motion
of the servo axis with simultaneous laser processing by the scanner.
Making
the Difficult Easy:
Direct, coordinated control of scanner and servo axes
eliminates the programming overhead associated with integrating
two separate control systems, resulting in reduced implementation
time and increased laser processing efficiency. Scanner motion
can be combined with rotary axis motion to laser process on
the face or edge of cylindrical profiles. Rectangular bit maps
that exceed the scanner field of view can be laser processed
in one continuous operation. Complex laser processing patterns
comprised of many small features distributed across a large
area can be laser processed in a continuous fashion with a significant
reduction in processing time.
Full
Featured I/O:
InfinityScan provides support for CO2, YAG, Green,
UV lasers with specialized control functions such as first-pulse
suppression and tickle frequent outputs. Control Signals can
be configured as sinking or sourcing, 5-24 VDC, allowing for
easy interface to different laser manufacturers and functions.
General purpose analog and digital I/O is also provided for
control of monitoring functions such as laser power, safety
interlocks, pump operation, and material handling. Two high
speed encoder inputs are available for synchronization with
movement of the material.
