rDedicated to the Science of Motion Coordinated Scanner and Servo Motion

Coordinated Scanner and Servo Motion - 2

Scanheads are excellent devices for quickly marking vectors or graphics, but are limited by their relatively small field of view in which they can process. By coordinating scanner motion with traditional servo axes, the field of view can be significantly expanded while maintaining the quality and throughput expected of scanner technology. Nmark™ SSaM: The Nmark™ SSaM is a synchronized scanner and motion controller supporting the industry standard XY2-100 interface. Residing on Aerotech’s advanced Automation 3200 software-based motion controller’s FireWire® network, the Nmark™ SSaM can be...

Coordinated Scanner and Servo Motion - 3

Stretched Vector BroadMark Graphic: Many applications require raster-type scanning of the laser for bar codes, bitmaps, and scribing. When the object being processed is larger than the scanhead’s field of view, it is common to stitch several exposures together. This can result in discontinuities in the image due to angular errors in aligning each exposure, reducing image quality and the range of applications suitable for this technology. With the Nmark™ SSaM’s BroadMark functionality, linear and rotary servo motion can be coordinated with the galvo mirrors so that the entire raster scan is...
