Nmark SSaM from Aerotech (Pittsburgh, PA) features direct, coordinated control of scanner and servo axes to eliminate the programming overhead associated with gluing together two separate control systems, resulting in reduced implementation time and increased marking efficiency. Scanner motion can be combined with rotary axis motion to mark on the face or edge of cylindrical profiles. Rectangular bitmaps that exceed the scanner field of view width can be marked in one continuous operation. Complex operations that comprise many small features distributed across a large area can be marked in a continuous fashion with a significant reduction in processing time.
