‹ Optimizes LASER DRILLING ‹ Solves complex problems such as OPTICAL ALIGNMENTS & TOOL CENTER POINT PROGRAMMING ‹ Enables AEROSCRIPTPLUS FUNCTIONALITY on each controller you deploy ‹ Runs MULTIPLE AEROSCRIPTPLUS programs simultaneously with a single license ‹ Includes complex APPLICATION SPECIFIC programming that is ready for use Advanced Controller Functionality AeroScriptPlus KEY FEATURES: Plus Means More Capabilities With the AeroScriptPlus feature, available in your Automation1-iSMC controller configuration, you can run any AeroScriptPlus program⁠— including DrillOptimizer, AeroAlign Optical Alignment Algorithms and Tool Center Point programming system configuration⁠—on your controller. AeroScriptPlus programs are specially designed AeroScript library files that you can purchase via the AeroScriptPlus product configurator. Each AeroScriptPlus program supplies special canned functionality for specific systems and applications. These files are encrypted and can only be run on Automation1 controllers that have AeroScriptPlus configured. More AeroScriptPlus programs are coming soon to Automation1, and capabilities will continuously improve. Automation1 The Automation1 AeroScriptPlus feature is part of the user-friendly Automation1 motion control platform, which includes the following: ‹ Development Software ‹ Controls ‹ Motor Drives ‹ Fiber-Optic HyperWire® Communication Bus

aerotech.com AUTOMATION1 AEROSCRIPTPLUS SPECIFICATIONS AEROALIGN OPTICAL ALIGNMENT ALGORITHMS Name Function Description AeroAlign1D 1D First Light or Peak-Finding The AeroAlign1D function is used to search along one degree of freedom for a local power peak or a defined power threshold. This algorithm can perform a complete scan of a defined 1D area and return to the point of maximum (or minimum) power, or it can be configured to terminate motion and remain in place upon reaching a user-defined power threshold. AeroAlignSpiral 2D First Light or Peak-Finding The AeroAlignSpiral function is used to search along two degrees of freedom for a local power peak or a defined power threshold. This algorithm can perform a complete scan of a defined circular 2D area and return to the point of maximum (or minimum) power, or it can be configured to terminate motion and remain in place upon reaching a user- defined power threshold. AeroAlignDynamic 2D Peak-Finding The AeroAlignDynamic function is used in one of two ways: it can optimize the position of two degrees of freedom to find a power peak, or it can dynamically track the position of an existing peak. After first light is identified, AeroAlignDynamic climbs a local power peak and then can either stop when a user-defined threshold is reached or continue to track the movement of that peak until the end of a user-defined time period. AeroAlignFast Multi-Dimensional Peak-Finding The AeroAlignFast function uses an iterative search routine to identify a position where the power signal exceeds a user-defined threshold. This algorithm supports up to six degrees of freedom and can be used in a wide range of kinematic configurations, including across multiple alignment platforms.

aerotech.com AUTOMATION1 AEROSCRIPTPLUS SPECIFICATIONS TOOL CENTERPOINT PROGRAMMING Topic Description TCP Machine Tool Standards Standards exist in the machine tool industry for associating linear and rotary axes and defining positive move directions of all axes. Adhering to these standards removes uncertainty when anticipating how machine axes will move in response to motion commanded in part space. The positive move directions and the orientation of the axes in the Part coordinate system are defined per the right hand rule as shown to the right. The left hand image is for positive linear convention and the right hand image is for positive angular convention. Rotation occurs about a part linear axis per the relationship shown in the figure to the right. When TCP is active, the A axis rotates the tool center point about the part X axis, the B axis rotates the tool center point about the part Y axis and the C axis rotates the tool center point about the Z axis. Machine Configuration To perform TCP kinematic calculations, the controller must know the locations of the tool, part and rotary axes and the configuration of the rotary axes. Offset Position Configuration A common approach to establishing machine configuration is to specify offsets between the points of rotation of the rotary axes and the location of the tool and the part. This configuration mode accommodates the input of coordinates based on their distances from the Part or Tool Tip they are connected to. Absolute Position Configuration Another common approach is using the absolute positions of all system elements based on their location in a “World” coordinate frame. Acceleration Limiting The CoordinatedAccelLimit parameter will stop or slow down path velocity for non-tangent linear moves. The DependentCoordinatedAccelLimit parameter will stop or slow down program velocity for non-tangent rotary axis moves. Note: The effect of changing speed on the machining process may prevent the use of Acceleration limiting in applications which require constant surface speed. chart continued on next page

aerotech.com AUTOMATION1 AEROSCRIPTPLUS SPECIFICATIONS TOOL CENTERPOINT PROGRAMMING LASER DRILLING OPTIMIZATION Commanded Velocity Filtering A low pass IIR filter (TrajectoryIIRFilter) or moving average FIR filter (TrajectoryFIRFilter) can be applied to the velocity command of the virtual and/or physical axes. The filter is applied continuously and will modify the program path by rounding all of the transitions between moves, even those that do not exhibit large accelerations. The positions of the linear servo axes are calculated from the virtual x/y/z axes and the servo rotary axis commanded positions. Similar filter settings should be applied to both virtual x/y/z and physical A/B/C axes to ensure consistent phasing of commanded position used to calculate the servo X/Y/Z positions. Note: Applying a filter to the servo rotary A/B/C axes and servo X/Y/Z axes will cause the servo X/Y/Z axes to lag behind the servo rotary axis position command. Path Optimization Lead on/lead off moves or “skywriting” is commonly used in X/Y applications to ensure the tool is only engaged in the material at constant speed. The calculation of lead moves or skywriting sequences is more complex on 3D shapes as the inserted path geometry cannot cause a collision between the part and the tool. Normally the process consists of a lead-off and lead-on move inserted between two nontangent features. The tool is turned off before the lead-off at constant surface speed. The path velocity decelerates to 0 during the lead off move. The controller moves to the start of the lead-on move, which is tangent to the next path segment and the system reaches constant speed during the lead-on move and enable the tool at the end of the lead-on move.
