Laser Edge Control —
Aerotech’s Automation 3200 intelligent motion, vision, and I/O platform features an extensive suite of development tools, a
high-performance motion engine, and the speed and versatility of FireWire . Advantages of the A3200  include:
®
•
•
Fewer components resulting in reduced costs
Point-to-point motion, interpolated motion, velocity pro-
filing, look-ahead, cutter compensation, gantry mode,
•
Simplified integration
axis calibration, 3D error mapping, and more
•
Distributed control
•
Position synchronized output
•
Local or remote processing
•
No system degradation as number of axes increases
•
Operates on standard or embedded PCs running
•
Deterministic architecture for consistent performance
