Laser Scan Head Advancements Boost Productivity and Process Quality in High-Performance Laser Processing

High-volume manufacturing of products such as smartphones, medical devices, and semiconductors requires high-speed, high-precision laser processes. Demand for smaller, faster, lower cost products adds to process complexity and manufacturers’ cost pressures. As a result, laser processing speed and part quality are always in conflict.

Bryan Germann, product manager for laser processing products at Aerotech, offers his expertise on the latest scan head technology and control methods. At the forefront of precision motion control and automation for more than 50 years, Aerotech is a leading manufacturer of high-performance laser scanners, linear/rotary stages, motion controllers, and turnkey automation systems for advanced manufacturing applications.
