Guide covers automation range
An overview of Aerotech's range of motion controllers includes the A3200 Digital Automation Platform, a software-only, PC- based, Firewire-interfaced system.
Specific application solutions covered include electronics assembly, pick and place, PCB laser drilling, stencil cutting, wafer singulation, nondestructive testing and data storage.
Featured Aerotech products used in such applications comprise ANT nano-translation linear stages and sub arc second rotary tables as part of complete systems controlled by the award winning A3200 digital automation platform and associated servo drive hardware.
This breakthrough software based machine control system combines motion, HMI, PLC and vision control modules with an industry standard FireWire high performance communication network used to control up to 32 axes of high speed motion; additionally a 10/100Base-T Ethernet interface may be used to add third party I/O and PLCs.
The new brochure shows how such digital automation systems can be applied to both new and existing applications to simplify integration and reduce the cost associated with traditional hardware based motion controllers.
Available in hard copy or downloadable as a PDF file from the Aerotech website, the new brochure will be an important information resource for designers and engineers who are responsible for delivering innovative solutions for high precision/high performance production machinery, test equipment and inspection systems.
