Lix is a class of instruments for automated laser beam profiling, power measurement and analysis with integrated machine vision.
Our customer for this solution is a leading manufacturer of laser marking systems for industrial and commercial applications. Three separate systems were developed to cover all aspects of operation of the lasers at different stages of manufacturing: from laser tubes to laser modules to final product. test_equipment_laser_bore_power.JPG
Motorized and pneumatic actuators were used for placement and actuation of sensors and measurement devices. LabVIEW and TestStand were used in unison to create a flexible system that gives the end user the flexibility for modifying many test variables, including timing, and pass/fail criteria, etc. These systems integrate various measurement and profiling devices including: an Agilent functions generator, a Tektornix oscilloscope, a Cognex Vision System, a Spiricon Laser Beam Profiler, an Ophir laser power meter.
The real-time aspects of operation are controlled by a Mitsubishi PLC and a motorized actuator using a SmartMotor is used for the Final test system to move the test card automatically from one position on the test sequence to the other.
