Laser microprocessing through 5-axis scan head coordination with servo stages

Advancements in the control and coordination of laser precession scanning heads are making possible the precision laser micromilling of knovel features. The growing ability to process macro-scale features with micrometer level precision is due in large part to control techniques which coordinate precession laser scanners and servo stages in synchronous motion. This talk will provide a brief introduction to the motion control behind laser micro-milling scan heads and techniques for coordinating motion across scan head and servo stage degrees-of-freedom.
