LCM Laser Control Module

The LCM Laser Control Module is an EtherCAT slave module that enables ACS Controllers and Control Modules to control a laser source directly with full synchronization to motion, resulting in highest quality laser micro-machining and optimal throughput.

• Digital pulse modulation for dynamic laser power control
• Pulse synchronization with XYZ motion path at specific positions
• Laser gating (on/off) synchronization with XYZ motion path at specific positions
• Flexible electrical interface: laser enable output, safety interlock input, fault input for robust safety implementation, general purpose programmable I/O
• User defined operational zones
• Laser delay compensation
• Auxiliary P/D outputs
• Ability to combine control modes to meet wide ranging application requirements

When starting a motion controller project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine the optimum motion controller for the job. They perform all necessary engineering calculations to make sure the motion controller performs as required, within customer specification, and without unnecessary cost.

This includes:

• Ensuring compatibility with the motor drive and available power
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device, encoder (incremental vs. absolute), resolver, etc.
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring all necessary accessories are also specified

When ordering a LCM Laser Control Module as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and accessories necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
