Demonstrating Flexible, Powerful 5-axis Laser Micromachining
Five-axis scan heads offer fast and flexible solutions for generating precise holes, contoured slots and other geometries with fully defined cross sections. With a suitable system, it is possible to control the entire micro-machining process – the laser, scan head and workpiece positioning – to produce macro-sized components to sub-micrometer dimensional tolerances.
This paper outlines the working principles of one such 5-axis laser precession scan head, Aerotech’s AGV5D, combined in a system with precision linear motion axes and controls. It explains the system’s working principles, including the powerful G-code based programming approach that enables standard CAM software and built-in motion functions to perform complex hole drilling and milling operations at a micrometer scale.

Deploying Custom HMIs with the Right Development Tool
Creating custom human-machine interfaces (HMIs) for precision automation and motion control systems allows developers to deliver the most targeted and specific user experience. Unfortunately, building custom HMIs from scratch can be tedious and time-consuming. When hard deadlines are a real concern, it can seem necessary to compromise and settle for a more general “one size fits all” development tool solution. This often results in an interface that is ill-suited to individual users and challenging for new users who are onboarding. Fortunately, as HMI development tools evolve their increased capabilities mean compromise is not always necessary. By selecting an HMI development tool with the right features, developers can speed up their process and minimize errors while meeting the needs of various end users.
