The AeroScriptPlus DrillOptimizer function, which is available in the Automation1-iSMC control configuration, enables profile-specific optimisation of the motion path and motion parameters for drilling vias with Aerotech’s AGV Galvo scanners.
Several thousand to several million holes can be drilled efficiently.
The two-stage optimisation process of the DrillOptimizer first calculates the shortest movement path for the AGV galvo laser scan head (AGV-HPO and AGV-XPO). The drive and scan head motors are then adjusted so that all movements take place within defined quality criteria. This allows the performance of the laser scanning systems to be maximised with minimal set-up effort.
The DrillOptimiser is available both as a stand-alone user interface in Automation1 Studio and as a .NET DLL. This enables seamless integration into the HMI (Human Machine Interface) of the respective machine control system. It is is designed for equipment manufacturers who use galvo scanner systems to perform laser drilling with high-dynamic point-to-point motion.
