About This Webinar
A common misconception is that high throughput infers higher speeds, but the real limitations are caused by higher accelerations. This webinar will cover 1) problems that arise in fixed-beam positioning (i.e., moving load) where the large moving mass of a system becomes a difficult problem to solve, and 2) how these challenges may be overcome with hybrid stage-scanner system architectures.
You will learn:
This webinar will provide insight into most dominant performance limitations in modern dynamic laser machining applications. You will also learn the advantages of using a galvo — including increased performance rates — made possible through the reduction of moving mass and increased frequency response. The presenter will offer an analysis of present error reductions and overall/systemic errors in these hybrid systems.
