However, it is possible to use Aerotech controls and take advantage of the IFOV controller feature with third-party stages and a scanner that accepts XY2-100 command communication. The realization of the benefits stems from a single controller and control architecture commanding both motion subsystems. The IFOV integrated controller feature works with all of Aerotech’s AGV family of galvo-scanner-based products. Works with All Aerotech AGV Products & XY2-100 Driven Scanners
Large motions (black) are performed by the servo stages to expose the entirety of the customer’s profile to the scanner’s field of view (red) where the remainder of the high-dynamic motion is carried out. Depiction of how a user part profile (navy blue) is divided between scanner and servo stages. As a result, the user is able to select the best optic configuration for the job without compromising working area and therefore eliminates the need for a compromised solution. IFOV not only expands the working area for any galvo system beyond what is possible with optics alone, but it also removes the trade-offs between laser spot size and available working area by extending the FOV regardless of optic selection. Infinite Field of View improves processing quality as well as throughput on large parts.
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. IFOV produces significant throughput improvements and eliminates stitching errors and part quality issues due to overlapped and mismatched laser processing. 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.
