Aerotech MACHINE CONTROLLERS A3200 SOFTWARE-BASED

Expert Level Power — Accessible to All

The power of the A3200 Software-Based Motion Controller (SMC)

stems from the two pillars it was built upon: powerful features

and usability.

The A3200 SMC is powerful. We have gone to great lengths to

design a controller that excels in delivering precision. Swimming

against popular trends, we develop our controller technology

from the ground up, allowing us to provide the most powerful

controller in the industry. We strategically build these solutions

on top of high-end, reliable, stable, industrial-grade technologies.

For this reason, nobody can duplicate the multi-axis coordination

and precision of the A3200.

The A3200 controller is programmed with our own programming

language, AeroBasic, and set of libraries. Our A3200 software

includes a development environment in which programs are

developed, compiled, and loaded on the controller. By developing

our own language and environment, we develop our own

concepts and processes. These processes include:

• Infinite Field of View (IFOV) coordination of galvo scan-head

and servo stage axes

• Position Synchronized Output (PSO) distance-based process

triggering

• Non-delineated, RS-274 G-code integration into our

AeroBasic language

These programming constructions fit seamlessly into a language

that includes standard program flow and mathematical concepts.

Powerful Multi-Axis Trajectory Generation

At the heart of our controller is the ability to translate commands

into the industry’s best trajectory. Our controller includes the

Aerotech motion engine — a powerful piece of technology that

differentiates Aerotech control from other motion providers. This

technology translates what you programmed into a multi-axis

synchronized and coordinated trajectory. This trajectory is sent

out over the industry’s most flexible motion control bus.

Aerotech’s FireWire Bus®, still available on A3200, paved the

way for the new HyperWire fiber-optic bus. The nearly jitter-free

nature of both FireWire and HyperWire preserves the integrity

of up to 32 axes of synchronized motion control trajectory

points. They both also allow servomotors, galvo scan-head,

hexapods, piezos, voice coil, and stepper motor control to exist 

on a common bus communicating to a common controller and trajectory generator.
