ELECTRONIC PARTS ASSEMBLY
Combining Aerotech controls with our advanced mechanics, including air
bearing, mechanical
bearing, linear
motor and ball-screw-driven stages, affords the appropriate repeatability
and accuracy during the assembly process for small parts.
PICK-AND-PLACE
Aerotech has long provided pick-and-place gantries for many assembly
lines, including PCBs and cell phones. |

Axis calibration compensates for repeatable mechanical errors to improve
position and velocity accuracy.
Multidimensional error mapping provides calibration tables to compensate
for repeatable multi-axis (e.g., X-Y plane) misalignments in mechanics.
Gantry Mode seamlessly controls mechanically-linked axis to ensure position
and velocity accuracy.
Dual-carriage linear motor stage with cross axis increases throughput
and reduces system cost.
All-digital drives eliminate drift over time, providing superior repeatability
without recalibrating, and less maintenance.
Lower component count compared to traditional systems increases reliability
and decreases lifecycle cost due to lower spare counts, less down time,
and smaller maintenance windows.
User provides Position-Velocity-Time trajectory in real-time to Aerotech
controller on a per axis basis and the A3200 will generate the trajectory
command to all axes using a cubic spline algorithm.
Interpolated motion provides higher fidelity motion commands to each
axis, minimizing position error during movement.
FireWire® is not subject to noise and offset of analog
systems. This better signal-to-noise ratio provides for higher data
rates and, therefore, higher throughput.
Advanced diagnostics minimize downtime.
FireWire® noise immunity results in higher fidelity position
commands, thus higher precision.
Camera control synchronization for part recognition, position determination,
and motion adjustments.
Specialized coordinate transforms reduce programming complexity.
