The new AGV-CPO laser scan head combines performance and value in the best way for the broadest set of laser applications. Since the AGV-CPO is the entry level version of our high-performance 2-axis laser scan heads, it incorporates all the CORE performance features of the AGV-HPO and AGV-XPO laser scanners, in addition to offering 22-bit resolution and low thermal drift. Aerotech Inc broadened its line of two-axis laser scan heads with the release of the AGV-CPO. This new product ensures improved resolution, stability, and scalability in a more competitively priced laser offering.
A new entry point to high-performance laser scanning
Aerotech offers an affordable solution for a high-performance scan head with the AGV-CPO CORE Performance 2-Axis Laser Scan Head. The AGV-CPO comes equipped with the same set of core performance parameters offered by the AGV-HPO and AGV-XPO systems, plus it boasts a high resolution of 22 bits. It is meant to facilitate a variety of laser micromachining operations while still retaining precision.
Scalable Performance Without Additional Complexity
Since the control hardware and performance specifications of the AGV-CPO are the same as those of other high-quality Aerotech scanners, customers do not need to invest in control hardware when upgrading their systems.
“Historically, Aerotech’s AGV scanners have been the go-to choice for the most demanding laser applications. The AGV-CPO combines our traditional high resolution and control with the versatility and affordability to allow more users in the laser industry to easily scale their processes with minimal investment,” noted Bryan Germann, optomechatronics lead at Aerotech.
Designed to deliver accuracy regardless of industry
The essential performance characteristics of the CORE are: single controller design and implementation based on the Aerotech Automation1 platform, precision and dynamic performance achieved through the use of digital optical encoders, Infinite Field of View for seamless operation with the motorized stages, Position Synchronized Output for precision laser firing, and very low thermal drift aided by cooling.
The AGV-CPO is applicable for use in Research & Development, Medical Devices, Electronics, Semiconductors, and other Additive Manufacturing applications.
