There is no need for a dedicated software engineer to code the algorithms, as there are customizable examples that users can simply adapt, and then test and re-test as needed. The PMP can implement a control algorithm code, generated from Matlab/Simulink, and run it with each EtherCAT cycle.

The next step in customizing motion stages

In the future, it will also be possible for motion applications to specify an othe-shelf Pinpoint laser interferometer. This provides a high accuracy, vacuumcompatible solution which enables position measurement directly, or closely to, the point of interest.

Just like most interferometers, Pinpoint delivers on high resolution and reliability. However, it has a unique design featuring a distributed feedback laser which extends its lifetime. Instead of requiring replacement every few years, Pinpoint will last for more than ten years, usually outliving the lifetime of the system itself. This reduces maintenance requirements, as well as replacement and service costs.

Pinpoint also excels with absolute position measurement. This technique is used instead of the homing process and takes as little as 20 seconds to complete. The result is that from that point, the interferometer will always precisely measure the exact same location, reducing manual interventions needed. Even if the machine is turned o and on again or moved, these settings are easily and quickly recovered, saving time. DW
