High-precision laser processing is essential for manufacturing critical components in diverse applications ranging from medical device and electronics production to semiconductor fabrication. 
Because users must manipulate laser beams with high dynamics to facilitate scalable production processes, multi-axis scanner products – including hardware and motion control features – play a key role in these applications. Advancements in these technologies are empowering end-users and machine builders to demonstrate cutting-edge laser processes for drilling, cutting, micromachining and joining.

This presentation will highlight the following:

• Recent developments in scanning hardware and software as they relate to a range of real-world applications that require 2-, 3- and 5-axis laser scanning motion
• A complete systems approach to controlling the scanner and macro part motion with traditional linear and rotary servo motion 
• The benefits of using a single controller architecture for all motion related to the laser process
• Laser process engineers, product designers and manufacturers of precision components leveraging laser processing will learn how these technological developments can enable their applications
