SCANmotionStudio enables comprehensive laser control and flexible process customization. The ability to monitor processes in real time contributes to quality assurance and troubleshooting. With an intuitive user interface and easy access to powerful functions, the software is suitable for both beginners and experts.
Here you can see which components of a typical laser scan system SCANmotionStudio supports you with.
RTC Board
Data analysis & optimization
Comprehensive tools for data recording and simulation make it easier for you to analyze and optimize laser processes. Real-time monitoring of system parameters during execution helps to identify and react to critical conditions.
Control Center and Software
CAD import and design
SCANmotionStudio allows you to import and edit complex 2D and 3D geometries. With the 3D slicing function, you can divide STL files into layers and prepare them optimally for 3D printing or deep engraving.
Flexibility in laser process definition
Define individual laser parameters and hatching patterns to test and optimize the ideal processing strategy for different materials and applications.
Automation and interfaces
SCANmotionStudio offers extensive automation functions, including dynamic data import and flexible process definition through variables and logical functions. Support for fieldbus, serial interfaces, digital I/Os and a remote interface (API) helps you integrate the software seamlessly into industrial environments.
Scan System Control
SCANahead technology
The SCANahead control, available in systems of the excelliSCAN- and intelliSCAN IV family, ensures greater
dynamics
and precise synchronization of the laser control. Functions such as Spot Distance Control and extended Sky Writing options enable even more precise editing.
SCANmotionControl & XL SCAN
SCANmotionControl calculates the optimal trajectories based on the physical limits of the scan system. By simulating and analysing the trajectory, you can optimize process parameters before the first laser marking. XL SCAN increases the processing area almost infinitely by perfectly synchronizing the control of the galvanometer scanner and mechanical axes. This means that stitching errors no longer occur.
Calibration tools
The integrated tools guide you through the initial calibration of the laser system and support fully automated calibration routines in combination with machine vision to continuously achieve the highest accuracy.
Camera
Machine Vision
SCANmotionStudio supports the integration of industrial cameras for the automatic recognition of features and component positions. This ensures simpler process control and greater accuracy in production.
Stage and Axis Controller
Synchronized control of Scan Systems und axes
SCANmotionStudio allows synchronized control of
galvanometer scanners
and mechanical axes. Functions such as MOF (Marking on the Fly) and Stitch + Scan enable the seamless processing of larger surfaces. For the processing of highly complex 3D surfaces, the control of 5-axis systems can be synchronized with the control of a galvanometer scanner in SCANmotionStudio.
