Precision and speed are critical in motion control systems, and the Position Event Generation (PEG) technology from ACS Motion Control addresses these needs effectively. This technology is particularly beneficial in high-resolution inspection, metrology, patterning, and printing applications.
PEG enables high-speed, on-the-fly event triggering that is synchronized with precise positioning. This capability is essential for accurately triggering devices such as cameras, inspection heads, and lasers. PEG supports several flexible operating modes, including:
- Incremental fixed distance pulsing: Allows triggering at frequencies up to 10 MHz.
- Array-based random distance pulsing: Provides random triggering capabilities at rates up to 100 kHz in select products.
- Array-based random distance gating: Offers additional flexibility for triggering multiple sensors.
A notable feature of PEG is its ability to achieve sub-micron accuracy when triggering devices synchronized to a digital AqB encoder. This precision is vital in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, where even minor deviations can lead to significant quality concerns.
Additionally, PEG simplifies testing and troubleshooting through its Pulse Train feature, which generates pulse output at specified frequencies and pulse widths without the need for motion. The configuration process is user-friendly, utilizing the PEG Wizard and PEG structures for easy implementation.
PEG technology is widely used in SEMI and FPD inspection and metrology applications, reflecting ACS Motion Control's focus on addressing precision motion control challenges across various high-tech sectors, including semiconductor, electronics, laser processing, and biomedical industries.
