ADVANTAGES IN PACKAGING
Real-time target modification provides for in-transit trajectory alteration
that permits accommodation of external events. For example, a vision
system can be integrated to correct for inaccuracies in part placement,
part position, etc., without requiring the system to finish the current
move. This increases testing throughput.
Software-based motion
controller removes dependencies on the PC and PC bus. Newer PCs
can be used with the same software. Protection from constant changes
to PC hardware technologies, especially ISA and PCI bus, increases standard
life. Our software-based motion controller eliminates the necessity
to change the controller as PCs evolve and increase in speed. This reduces
lifecycle cost and learning curves.
Aerotech provides for application-specific needs
that improve accuracy and precision, such as Multi-Block Look Ahead,
and help in applications with small radii.

Position Synchronized Output (PSO) provides the position of multiple
axes within 50 nanoseconds of the actual motor position. At high speeds,
events such as laser firing are accurate to within 0.15 microns.
Programmable Output Pulse allows the user to generate and control the
window/region (defined by two positions in space) during which the on
and off time of the firing/tracking signal is generated to another sub-system.
This output signal can be set by frequency and duty cycle or by setting
the pulse-width based on an event.
Third-party I/O support provides flexibility in the type of system being
controlled or monitored. It provides a mechanism to interface to existing
equipment and/or non-Aerotech equipment. The ability to work with existing
equipment lowers integration cost while improving scalability and throughput
of the cell.
Up to 32-axes of motion can be coordinated in real-time with no system
performance degradation for maximum scalability.
