PRODUCT UPDATE CONTROL AND GUIDANCE LASER SYSTEMS
M-417 stage
PI (Physik Instrumente) now offers the M-417 stage, which
has a repeatability of 0.5µm over a 500mm travel range, for precise positioning tasks in precision fabrication and automation. The drive of the M-417 comprises
an efficient ActiveDrive DC motor with integrated 24V amplifier that acts on the ball screw. Thanks to this structure, the stage achieves a velocity of 100mm/s and is at the same time designed for high duty cycles. The recirculating ball bearings allow for a very high guiding accuracy of 100µrad over the entire travel range.
An incremental, motor-shaft- mounted rotary encoder controls the position with a unidirectional repeatability of 0.5µm. The M-417 stage is 120mm wide and 56mm high. Its stress-relieved aluminium base ensures the stage’s high stability.
By eliminating power losses between the amplifier and motor, the ActiveDrive System achieves an increased efficiency.

Hybrid Hexapod
Laser 2000 has introduced the Hybrid Hexapod from
ALIO Industries. With the combination of serial and parallel kinematic axes, it is possible to achieve high precision and dynamic, as well as a flexible combination of travel ranges and dimensions. Through the use of standard XY and rotary axes, this design is also the least cost intensive solution on the market. The controllers allow a precise
forward and inverse kinematic. Also, complex operations like change of pivot point position, or change of the coordinate system is now possible.

3D laser scanner
Creaform has launched its new VXmodel software, released two new versions of its Go!Scan white light 3D scanner, and updated its HandyScan 3D laser scanner. The VXmodel software is fully integrated with VXelements, Creaform’s 3D software platform. This eliminates the need for design
Laser engraving process
Gemalto has launched the Sealys Color in
Polycarbonate laser engraving process. The system allows high quality colour photographs to be permanently embedded into polycarbonate documents such as IDs, driving licenses and passports. Images up to 1,200dpi
HMI on StarCut Tube
Rofin has introduced a newly designed next-generation human machine interface on its four-axis laser cutting system StarCut Tube.
The new HMI integrates all user interface components which are required during normal operation on a single screen. All information about system status and production

professionals to open, learn and use third-party software for most applications. With VXmodel acting as an integrated bridge, users have all the tools they need to prepare their 3D-Scan files for CAD or 3D-print solutions in one intuitive application. Both new versions of the Go!Scan 3D scanner, The Go!Scan 50 and 20, provide portable, fast, and reliable
3D measurements. The Go!Scan 50 was designed to measure the shape of medium to larger parts and offers optimal flexibility.
The Go!Scan 20 delivers maximum resolution and is designed for use with smaller objects with intricate details, making it the useful for 3D printers.

resolution can be made tamper- proof through a laser-engraving process, which applies markings deep into the document datapage. Polycarbonate documents are already recognised for their security and durability and now Sealys Color in Polycarbonate adds another unique feature to Gemalto’s broad range of
options to better meet the evolving demands of government authorities and national printers. Sealys Color in Polycarbonate complements Gemalto’s laser- personalisation portfolio. Sealys Edge Sealer engraves the holder’s name or ID number along the document edge.

progress is clearly arranged. User input and parameter modification is limited to certain designated fields. The HMI is based on a smart administration concept which allows the user to create production jobs easily. With the built-in user administration, access to job creating as well as to other functions can be limited to certain users.
