Altechna's AltSCA femtosecond laser micromachining system uses Aerotech nanopositioning mechanics and motion controls

摘要

Laser technology solutions specialist Altechna Co. Ltd is basing its AltSCA femtosecond laser micromachining system around Aerotech's ANT 130 series linear motor driven nanopositioning stages in a customised three-axis XYZ configuration that includes a granite bridge support structure and a unique pneumatically counterbalanced vertical axis. The synchronisation between the one nanometre resolution positioning system and the laser's firing pattern is precisely and crucially controlled with the advanced position synchronised output (PSO) command from Aerotech's software based A3200 motion controller which is built into Altechna's System Control Application (SCA) front end software using.NET class libraries.
