Improve Performance

Aerotech’s Command Shaping algorithms improve contouring and move-and-settle performance by modifying the commanded trajectory in order to avoid exciting known vibrational modes in the system.

Product Spotlight

Aerotech’s gantries targeted at pick-and-place applications can benefit greatly from command shaping. Products such as gantry systems offer increased throughput when using this feature, improving production efficiency.
