The Aerotech Difference: Building the Future of Manufacturing with BotsIQ
Aerotech is proud to sponsor Fox Chapel High School’s robotics club, the reigning BotsIQ Combat Robotics Grand Champions. As the students design and build their robot, we provide mentorship, resources and expertise to help turn their ideas into reality. This hands-on engineering and machining experience sparks students’ interest in manufacturing careers and sets them apart when it’s time to enter the job market.
Advanced motion concepts for high-precision laser drilling
Key electronics and semiconductor manufacturing technologies require laser processing vertical high-aspect ratio holes. Laser-drilled vias in flexible and rigid PCBs are found in most electronic devices. Semiconductors recently adopted heterogeneous integration techniques with glass interposers requiring high-density through glass vias (TGV) manufactured via ablation or laser-induced deep etching (LIDE).

Advanced Laser Processing Techniques for Surgical Robot End Effector Manufacturing
For the cutting-edge manufacturers of minimally invasive surgical robots, precision laser processing is the cornerstone for crafting optimal end effectors. Advancements in laser and motion controls enable the creation of ultra-precise, miniature features without sacrificing dexterity, strength, reliability or end effector reproducibility.
Laser Scan Head Advancements Boost Productivity and Process Quality in High-Performance Laser Processing
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.

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.
