Effortlessly Combine Motion of Galvo Scanners & Servo Systems with Aerotech’s Infinite Field of View

Infinite Field of View Aerotech's Infinite Field of View (IFOV) is a unique and industry-leading solution for the synchronization of linear or rotary servo axes with laser scanners. IFOV produces significant throughput improvements and eliminates stitching errors and part quality issues due to overlapped and mismatched laser processing. By combining the high dynamic capabilities of galvo scanners with the travel range of servo stages, parts significantly larger than a scanner's traditional field of view can be processed continuously with no need to stitch individual working areas together....

Effortlessly Combine Motion of Galvo Scanners & Servo Systems with Aerotech’s Infinite Field of View - 3

Separately generating the servo and scanner trajectories while attempting to synchronize commands across disparate controllers will never work as well as a vertically integrated solution. Effortless Operation IFOV works every time without the user adjusting parameters and settings for different motion paths. This is because IFOV uses a single controller to process the user's desired 2D profile and turn it into the relative servo stage and scanner motion in realtime. IFOV takes into consideration the scanner's available working area to ensure its commanded trajectory stays within its field...
